Gartner research, sharp as a sack of wet mice

Good thing we have this brilliant insight out there from the geniuses at Gartner:

If AT&T announces that it will be marketing the phone to enterprise customers, “we’d be against it,” said Ken Dulaney, an analyst with Gartner, who said he hasn’t heard of such a plan from the operator. “We’d immediately tell our customers that’d be a very serious mistake.”

No matter what kind of reputation a vendor has, if it’s making its first phone, Dulaney would be unlikely to recommend it. “Building a phone is one of the most difficult things to do,” he said.

Brilliant and well thought out analysis. Almost as amazing as this little gem:

Companies like to extend corporate apps to the mobile space and in order to do that you need an open OS

Wow, what a show stopper. Oh wait, the iPhone has a browser. Ever heard of the web? Sheesh, who is going to write java apps for mobile devices when you have web applications!

The French

The French… well they can cook. I have gained a new respect for the low key European way of doing things. Food is important. So is good service. Taking at a minimum of 1 hour 40 minutes for dinner is nice when you get used to it.
And with that, here is to being a Flâneur!
