The Enterprise, The iPhone, and the Role of Silverlight

With its recent announcement to support ActiveSync on the iPhone , Apple is clearly going after the enterprise user.

Windows SideShow in a bag

This is very, very cool, and I want one now . Imagine, as Kevin puts it, seeing e-mails, contact info or RSS feeds without removing your device from the bag. Simply awesome. The only thing that concerns me is that the Eleksen Wearable Display Module will apparently "offer a gigabyte of memory". Personally...

Another Apple tablet sighting... on Apple's site?

Ok, I jumped the gun - maybe Digg isn't entirely useless . I just found this link to an Apple promotional picture . So, tell me - what is that guy writing in the front writing on? Sure looks like a Tablet to me, and I can't imagine Apple would feature a Windows device... And we know Apple needs a tablet...

Is there more to the Apple Tablet rumor than we know?

Marc mentions Rob's post about the Apple Tablet rumors. According to Rob's source: I have no less than 5 sources saying an Apple Tablet announcement is due soon. Or something, as some of these press people (Apple diehards at that), who normally cared not about Tablets, and thought it was all just Microsoft...
