He reiterated a few familiar messages: Dell now derives more than half its gross margins from businesses that are new to Dell, namely software and services. And so Dell is less the PC company that everyone remembers and more a full-range IT company that “helps its customers succeed.” Still, it sells a lot of PCs and derives about half its revenue from sales to both consumers and businesses. And now that Microsoft has gotten Windows 8 out the door, where’s the groundswell of PCs sales? As yet, we’re still waiting. Analysts at …
Nexus S and Xoom will remain on 4.1.2 says JBQ
On a recent post made on the Android Building group, Google AOSP Technical Lead Jean-Baptiste Queru broke the news that the Motorolla Xoom and Samsung Nexus S will not be updated to the latest version of Android. Although JBQ didn’t clearly mention that this will be the end of the line for the said devices, the future isn’t looking so bright for these two ageing gadgets.

This makes us wonder if the new features in the latest iteration are just too much for the Xoom and Nexus to …

Todd Bradley, the executive vice president of HP’s Printing and Personal Systems Group, recently said that Microsoft’s self-produced Surface tablet isn’t competition. Outside Acer executives who were publicly vocal about the company’s opposition against the Surface launch, Bradley’s own views aren’t surprising, as most Windows 8 partners have either welcomed Microsoft’s hardware entry, or shrugged it off just as Bradley has done. But his personal view of the tablet is a little surprising. “I’d hardly call Surface competition,” Bradley said in an interview with IDG Enterprise. “One, very limited distribution. It tends to be slow and a …
