Many claim Apple's 128GB iPad is a threat to Microsoft Surface. Is this true?

Yesterday Apple announced that they'll release a 128GB version of the iPad. (This is not a next generation iPad, rather, it's the same one they're currently selling with an option for 128GB.) Many are claiming this is something that Apple is doing specifically...

Dell has four different mobile device management (MDM) products. What’s their strategy here?

Dell has been transforming itself into a software company over the last year, making a ton of acquisitions. The result is a tangle of overlapping products, leaving people to wonder which ones will be consolidated, killed, or promoted. This certainly rings...

App-V versus ThinApp? That's an unfair question to me.

After my video comparing App-V 4 and 5 went up on BrianMadden.com, I was asked the following question on twitter: Do you think new App-v could be better than ThinApp?" In part, I tweeted back that is was an unfair question to ask me. Perhaps I should...

Can Intel-based Windows 8 Pro tablets ever come close to the low power and long batteries of ARM-based devices?

Earlier this week I wrote an article (well, a rant) about Microsoft Surface tablets running Windows RT. (Actually it was a rant against Windows RT in general.) I closed the rant by saying, "By the way, I'm looking forward to the Surface Pro and the other...
