The companies compete on several other fronts& Web browsers, computer OSes, Web TVs& and will continue to do so in 2011 as Google and Apple enter new areas to rival each other. For example, expect there to be a high-stakes battle between Google and Apple in near-field communications, the short-range wireless technology that can enable mobile payments from smartphones and other applications.

10 Most Important Data Storage Stories of 2010
December 29th, 2010 |
No Comments
For the data storage business, 2010 was another year of great profit and success, and 2011 is expected to follow suit. There’s little question that storage — including hardware, software and services — has been the most profitable and consistent-performing sector of IT for most of the last decade; the market numbers bear this out quite clearly. Demand remains high due to the constant deluge of files and data filling up disk drives, often as soon as they can be installed. Meanwhile, steady advances in both magnetic disk and solid state technology are allowing manufacturers to keep expanding storage capacities. It was a year of business consolidation, with several large storage-related companies being acquired by even larger systems makers. Oracle’s $7.4 billion buyout of slumping Sun Microsystems gave new life to a proud and innovative organization. Hewlett-Packard’s $2.3 billion purchase of 3PAR and EMC’s $2.25 billion acquisition of Isilon allows both companies to expand their enterprise storage product lines. Dell made a smart move in getting Compellent for a mere $960 million — a relative bargain. All this news helped change the face of the data storage industry in 2010. This eWEEK slide show highlights the 10 news events that will continue to shape the industry in 2011. – …

10 New Google Products We Want to See in 2011
December 28th, 2010 |
No Comments
With the end of 2010 drawing near, it’s time to start looking ahead to what Google could have in store for 2011. The search engine (can we even call Google just a search engine anymore?) moved wholly into mobile with Android taking off on smartphones from Samsung, Motorola, HTC and LG to challenge Apple’s iPhone. Google also launched a social conversation service called Buzz that showed a bit of how the company thinks about social networking. But we want to see more, which is supposed to come in the form of Google + 1. So where should Google focus its efforts in 2011? It’s clear the company should focus on three technology sectors in 2011: mobile, search and social. Google faces increased competition from Apple, Microsoft, RIM and others in the mobile computing market. Getting Android on more tablets will be important to counter the rise of the iPad. Google also needs to keep boosting its purview over search and other property traffic from Facebook, which is sucking up more users’ time as the network speeds toward 600 million users worldwide. For some context of where Google could go next, here’s our 2010 best and worst Google product and feature wrap in case you didn’t see it. – …
