Will The Linux Desktop Soon Be Irrelevant?
,----[ Quote ]
| Some of us are still waiting for the year of
| the Linux desktop. Some think itâs already
| here. One thing is certain however, Linux does
| not have a majority desktop market share. By
| the time we get there, perhaps the entire idea
| of what a Desktop is will have been re-
| defined, thanks to âThe Cloudâ.

If the desktop is dying, mobile sync is king
,----[ Quote ]
| It's this desire for open clouds and open
| syncing to those clouds that is blessing
| Funambol's open-source mobile sync business.
| It's the same desire that will likely create a
| host of new competitors in this fertile mobile-sync market.

Smartbooks to reach 165 million units in 2015, says study
,----[ Quote ]
| ABI Research is projecting that 165 million
| "smartbooks" will ship in 2015. The secret
| for success for these non-x86-based, "always
| on" netbooks and MIDs is to keep the price
| under $200, says the research group.
|
| [...]
|
| Indeed, in ABI's research, smartbooks appear
| to be subsets of netbooks and MIDs. In an ABI
| report from last year, the rise of low-cost
| ARM-based netbooks (i.e. smartbooks) sold in
| developing countries was considered to be a
| chief reason why the research firm projects
| that Linux will take the lead from Windows in
| the netbook market by 2013.
