01/28/2004 10:17 AMMicrosoft founder Bill Gates expressed his vision Wednesday for a
future in which advanced software will seamlessly connect personal
computers with mobile phones, watches and other small devices. The
software, which Gates predicted would be widespread by the end of this
decade, would also be smart enough to let users know if and when it
should alert them -- and on which device -- with new information such
as weather forecasts or sports scores.

03/17/2005 03:45 AMSuccessFactors today announced via a news release over US BusinessWire
that the company successfully completed a software implementation at
MasterCard International in a record-setting, two weeks time. In
addition, SuccessFactors also provided MasterCard's 4000 worldwide
employees with a seamless shift to our software while simultaneously
reducing performance review-related help desk calls by approximately
25%. - Prior to SuccessFactors, MasterCard was using a workforce
performance management technology that was severely limited in
functionality. Specifically, there was limited reporting
functionality, minimal visibility into each employees' performance
history and multiple forms used across their worldwide organization
that were unable to be tracked within one system.SuccessFactors was
selected to unify the multiple HRMS systems in use at MasterCard,
streamline the peformance management process and begin shifting HR's
role away from a transactional agent to a more strategic partner
driving business at the executive level. The decision to implement
SuccessFactors technology was weighted heavily on the company's ASP
business model, expansive reporting tools and ability to function as a
business partner. [PRWEB Mar 15, 2005]

07/27/2004 04:32 PMWe mentioned the
non-surprisi
ng, non-groundbreaking nature of Motorola's expected announcement
concerning a WiFi-enabled mobile phone last week when the company
conveniently leaked the info they'd first announced a year and a half
ago. Now, after pumping up the PR efforts, it seems that everyone is
writing about this WiFi-cellular phone, without bothering to look at
the details. However, looking at those details make the phone
appear... not that interesting. It's really a
very limited device that can only be used with special 802.11a
hardware. So, don't think you'll be using the phone at Wi-Fi
hotspots any time soon. This is really just a gimmick to try to sell
a new mobile phone to business users.

Should The Web Experience Be More Like
The Desktop Experience?
Should The Web Experience Be More Like
The Desktop Experience?
05/28/2004 12:41 PMThere have been many people who haven't been thrilled with the state
of the user experience within the browser. After all, as simple as it
is, it also has quite a few limitations - especially compared to the
typical "windows" (lower case) interface that people are used to on
the desktop. Still, this article at IT-Analysis seems
positive
ly stunned that some company has worked out a way to build a
windows-like interface in the browser. They even point to a
(somewhat buggy)
demo
shopping site, that basically shows how a company could create a
shopping site that feels more like a traditional client-server
application using windows and the ability to drag and drop products
into a shopping cart. It's an interesting interface, but all it
really does is move that traditional interface into the browser.
Plenty of other companies, like Macromedia and Laszlo Systems, have
been working on other interactive interfaces within the browser as
well - so this specific offering doesn't seem all that new or
different. Others have recreated traditional applications (such as
office suites) within the browser as well - so the idea of "drag and
drop" within the browser isn't really that new or exciting. Some web
traditionalists have problems with many of these systems because they
"break the web." There are benefits to having things like standard
URLs that you can send to other people and a traditional hyperlink
system. More advanced interfaces are sometimes nice, but, so far,
many of them seem to cause more problems than they solve. For
example, the sample shopping site above had some confusing buttons at
the bottom, and once I clicked on one, the whole window closed and now
the page refuses to reload. Not the most user-friendly shopping
experience.

The Myth of Seamless Integration
The Myth of Seamless Integration
03/14/2003 01:28 AMIntegration of enterprise applications is not a pretty process.
Despite all the tech advances of recent years, it is still costly and
time-consuming, with a less than stellar return on investment. But a
new era is upon us, enterprise software developers say, and the
monolithic integration problems of the 1990s soon will crumble into
dust.
Near-Seamless Handoff for 802.11 Roaming
Near-Seamless Handoff for 802.11 Roaming
04/14/2005 10:03 AMTwo University of California San Diego scientists have developed a
better way of seamlessly handing off 802.11 roaming, making it
possible for people from one hotspot to another without dropping
connections. That's important not so much for data, which can handle a
dropped packet here and there, but for streaming audio, video, and
voice-over-IP.
The SyncScan solution proposed by Savage and
Ramani is a method to continuously monitor the proximity of nearby
802.11 access points. Instead of looking for surrounding access points
just when the current signal is running low, a Wi-Fi device with
SyncScan regularly checks signal strengths nearby -- but only for very
short periods of time. These times are picked to precisely coincide
with regularly scheduled "beacon" messages sent by all standard Wi-Fi
access points. The process eliminates the current need to start from
scratch when looking for a stronger signal, and replaces the long
scanning delay with many small delays that are imperceptible to the
user.

Motorola CN620: Seamless Wi-Fi to GSM

07/06/2004 11:39 AM
So I
almost skimmed past this while reading a rumor about the MPx (that
I'll talk about after the jump), but boy, I'm glad I didn't. According
to information gleamed from the FCC site, Motorola's new CN620
clamshell is coming to town, and by town I mean 'the town where you
can transfer Wi-Fi Voice-Over-IP calls to GSM, also known as
Awesomeville.' The quad-band GSM phone supports all three major Wi-Fi
standards and is targeted towards corporate users.
Our sources at Motorola said to expect an official announcement
later this month.
More about the CN620 and the MPx after the jump.
