Dave Johnson on open web technologies, social software and software development
Wall Street Journal on the iPhone: "Incompatible technology has become an increasing problem for businesses as hand-held email and phone devices are evolving into minicomputers that can do such things as download music, take pictures and surf the Web."
Surprise surprise. Incompatible technology is a problem for people who choose non-standard crap like Exchange.
John Gruber responds: Appleâs answer to the enterprise âproblemâ isnât to kowtow to the Microsoft Exchange hegemony; itâs to point in the opposite direction, and show how much better things can be with open industry protocols like IMAP and CalDAV and with simple web-based solutions.
Like many successful revolutions, this one might come from the bottom.
Viva la revolucion!
