Antenna Software: smack in the middle of an Android, iPhone, iPad, BlackBerry world
Antenna Software, a vendor of software and services for building, rolling out and managing mobile applications, Tuesday is announcing the beta release of its Antenna Mobility Platform (AMP), which brings together the company's expertise in software-as-a-service with 2009 acquisition Dexterra's primarily behind-the-firewall mobile apps technology. New in Version 3.0 is support for Android devices and the iPhone (Antenna recently announced additional enterprise iPhone support via a deal with AT&T) and improved tools for quickly developing cross-platform mobile apps. Antenna is looking for AMP 3.0 to support business-to-employee apps, but also what it calls business-to-business-to-customer ones. All of which gives Antenna an interesting viewpoint of the action-packed smartphone and mobile apps scene. Here's what Antenna CEO Jim Hemmer had to say about some of the latest issues. Read More

Office Productivity in the Cloud with the iPad
I pre-ordered the 32Gb Wi-Fi model of the Apple iPad, and I have been immersing myself in what it can, and can't do, for the past couple days since it arrived.

The iPad as iPod
Apple has changed the way we obtain and consume media thanks, in large part, to the iPod. One might reasonably make the case that without the company's diminutive music player there would be no iPad today. Given the importance of media to Apple and its family of portable products, the iPad's music and video capabilities deserve a close look. Read More

    Today, while I was at work, my sister stole my
    iPad and tested to see if it can survive a 40 foot drop, just so
    she can be a youtube sensation. My apple ipad is now destroyed and she has
    83 views. I know this is completely off topic but I had to share it with someone!
