Just a teaser post, really! Mobile is interwoven with most of the other topics, and one of the key facts in any discussion around mobile is the sheer number of mobile devices - 4bn mobile devices in the world as opposed to PCs that just about get to a billion.
Instead of Microsoft and Intel being the ones to beat, the fight appears to be between newer players such as facebook, google and apple. (NB: was at an interesting dinner where Hermann Hauser spoke on how the value chain structure for mobile computing is fundamentally different from that underpinning the PC wave, which puts the preceding players at a distinct disadvantage)
So, against that backdrop, in my company's part of the world, 2 interesting pieces of news: SAP acquiring Sybase, and Bluefin being the first in the world to rollout Sybase-enabled SAP CRM. On the iPhone in my case, of course!
Check out the following...
