In Holiday Shopping, There’s No Substitute for Victory
Coming off a less than booming sales year, Black Friday probably scares today's online, mass merchants, electronics retailers, warehouse clubs more than ghosts and goblins. They're determined to have a good 4th quarter sellng period. So are the manufacturers. Bundles, specials, deals for consumers not just in the U.S. but around the globe. Black Friday is the most widely searched term this time of year...everywhere. Start your search/research online. Check for the online flyers, specials, coupons. Take your smartphone and barcode app with you to double check you're getting the best deal. Show the sales team if there's a better price elsewhere. They'll "work with you!" Plan your personal, friends, family buying plan well. Use your GPS so you get the products you want without a lot of running around. Start checking now.

The iGen
NO...Doesn't have a thing to do with "that" smartphone...or "that" store...or "that" tablet. It's the next generation. Kids and we mean little kids. That's what today's products are being designed for/targeted at. You happen to buy one...fine. Watch a little, little kid pick up a smartphone. He/she just uses it. They've come pre-wired and we're still trying to figure out how to IM. It's the IGen. They want it instantly. They want to use it instantly. They expect their photos, their video, their music, their stuff immediately when/where/how they want it. 35-year-olds are over the hill. 20 year olds just at the peak of the hill. 15 year olds, half way up the hill. 50 year olds...ferget it!!!! So we've looked at the people who will replace you as the prime market. Curious....take a look !!!

Do We Ignore Half the Market?
We all know half (or about half) of the world's population is female. Most married or involved males know that they can do anything they want to do as long as "SHE" thinks it's OK. Testosterone works in the boardroom but in the living room, bedroom...forget it!!! If they are "kinda" important in our business lives, why can't we get it right when it comes to offering products? Maybe we just aren't listening...NAW!!!!

Netbooks, Cloud Computing – Work, Play Without Boundaries
While netbooks hold a world of promise for people with longer battery life and lower price they also represent a downside that must be considered when they are not connected to the cloud.
High Def TV Is In the Eye of the Beholder
HDTV is a big entertainment train coming at the consumer 100 MPH. In the Americas it took a bunch of years to transition viewing from B&W to color. Now the government has said everything/everyone will go from SD to HD in less than three years and that finish line is next February. Networks and stations are moving to beat the deadline and they're well on their way. Set manufacturers can't wait for every household to make the transition even if the sets aren't as big (expensive as they would like). Content pipelines? Well sure, kinda. Ok so the squeeze the shows a little hard so it fuzzes up the quality of HD...sssooo?? The consumer? Sure! Right!! How much??? Well here's the scorecard of where we stand and how we'll end up.
Do We Ignore Half the PC/CE Market?
PC, CE products have typically been designed, manufactured for the male geek. But this stereotype customer is becoming history as women increasingly buy and use the products. To be successful though it requires more than simply making them pink. Female users want more...lot more than we might think.

Our Next Great Tech CEO...Hero or Cheerleader?
Gary Shapiro, the head of the CEA (Consumer Electronics Association) has been saying almost every chance he gets that the technology industry will lead the economy back.

Take the PC, CE, communications products and technology out of the picture and what do we have? The changes -- especially in recent years -- were pushed forward by bosses who had visions of changing life for everyone for the better. Today, some have passed the baton of leadership, some have taken extended time off, some are doing time. The new breed of business

Let Paper Join HistoryPress Kits Join History
The CEA (Consumer Electronics Association) started the world of change a few years ago "encouraging" PR people to only use online press services or online kits. Most of the shows followed suit (MWC - Mobile World Congress, CTIA and well most other shows) going green and making press materials available to media folks even if they didn't attend. But the hue and cry from publicists at NAB (National Association of Broadcasters) show was difficult to understand. The benefits of the web and online services aren't new. After all these years we're rather glad to see the blood, sweat, tears of paper kits disappear
