Merrill Lynch cut its rating on SAP from buy to neutral, saying that it doesn't see a corporate IT spending recovery in 2009, so there is question as to the company's assumptions on license fees. But that hardly seems like a uniform take of the market on the software industry, which is more mixed and less certain.
By releasing its new plug-in for Microsoft Outlook, Google has again signaled its interest in the business user market. It's also a signal that the company is stuck and badly needs to embrace an old tech rule: It's tough to make it in the productivity apps business if you only appeal to consumers. For Google, getting apps and services users is critical, because the company is hitting a market saturation point and needs new outlets to display ads.
The number of wildly different takes on the "success" of mobile advertising is dizzying. But the big lesson appears to be that while somebody is selling something, it's probably not to consumers through their cell phones. Take a look at this array of pronouncements and findings about the state of t...
Bad economic times and a focus on reducing IT budgets have made this a tough market for enterprise software vendors. According to the new Forrester study, The State Of Enterprise Software: 2009, executives had better not plan on that changing in the near future. However, there is some good news for vendors, because it's not as though companies have stopped spending on software. There are also some other interesting insights, like few companies saying they're interested in SaaS or hosted solutions, and many looking for apps and app modules to use together.
Attempts by several state governments to dump Microsoft Office have died quiet deaths because of internecine squabbles within the open source community, a testament to vendor greed and a depressing reminder that the public interest often takes a back seat to moneyed interests.

Yesterday's announced price drop for the current 8GB iPhone 3G could be seen as Apple addressing the issue of being perceived as too pricy. Granted, that might be true for some of the Apple products. But the new iPhone price suggests something far different. Apple is undertaking the first true price war in its history, shifting into defensive pricing out of concern for market share and perceived upcoming strong competition from Palm in the handset market.
Blogging is in some ways the poster child for Web 2.0, which when you boil it down is an expression that signifies the Web's evolution from a static publishing platform to a communications and collaboration medium. But blogging is now in serious decline, to be replaced by tools from the likes of Fac...

Over at Advertising Age, Simon Dumenco has an interesting post about how a free netbook as a come-on to a subscription-based content service (whether video or e-book) might be the savior of media. That struck me because I think he's on the right track but perhaps hasn't gone far enough. For consumers, at least, perhaps we're seeing the beginning of the end of directly paying for hardware, period.
The New York Times had an article Saturday about tech blogs running rumors. As I understood the article, the overall point was that such sites as TechCrunch and Gizmodo will print rumors because it is their way of gaining attention and competing with mainstream media organizations that have far deeper resources. The blogs reply that this is a process that helps bring the readers into the journalism. I say, what's wrong with printing the occasional rumor?
