The Software Distribution Generation Gap (33:03 minutes)
------------------------------------------------------------
"Software vendors are so focused on building the next great application
and on features and functions in that application that they've lost
sight of what really matters, which is making sure that the application
that you build gets used, gets in the hands of the users, and that they
get their work done," said Embarcadero CEO Wayne Williams.

Story Highlights

------------------------------------------------------------
1. IP&TV World Forum, Day 2: The Future
------------------------------------------------------------
I'm attending the IP&TV World Forum, aka the Internet Protocol
Television Show, at the Olympia exhibition hall in sunny London. I have
been checking out technologies being deployed in Europe that we may be
seeing state-side very soon. HbbTV is a hybrid television delivery
system available now in some European countries that combines
synchronized broadcast with broadband.

2. Taming That Spaghetti of Wires Taking Over Your Home
------------------------------------------------------------
New home construction and remodeling projects, from a multimedia wiring
angle, have the advantage of incorporating cable management at the
design stage. That design is structured into the build. Unfortunately,
existing homes don't have this luxury -- tearing into walls is
disruptive and expensive.

3. Is Fragmentation Breaking the Android Dev's Will?
------------------------------------------------------------
Developers are losing interest in creating apps for Android because of
the continued fragmentation of the operating system, according to a
survey conducted jointly by Appcelerator and IDC between January and
February. Its results show that interest in Android phone app
development fell by nearly five percentage points over the past quarter
to about 79 percent.

4. Why Tablets Will Send PCs Toward Oblivion
------------------------------------------------------------
As analysts watch the killer success of Apple's new iPad launch -- 3
million sold over the first three days -- I'm seeing a lot more
predictions that overall sales of tablets will soon start to exceed
those of PCs. Crazy to think of it, isn't it? PCs are everywhere. Many
homes have several, businesses have gobs, and they are a staple item
used to connect billions of people to, well, everything.

5. IP&TV World Forum, Day 1: Disrupting a Disruptive Technology
------------------------------------------------------------
Internet-delivered television was once thought of "disruptive," but it
looks like it's about to be firmly adopted by common television
programming suppliers worldwide and incorporated into their delivery
systems. Looking around at the IP&TV World Forum, I'm seeing a whole
bunch of monkey wrenches sitting on the sidelines. I'm at the stunning
Victorian-era Olympia exhibition hall in a surprisingly sunny London.
