Funambol has released a position paper that discusses Google Android and the Funambol Open Source impact on the mass market for mobile email.

For me one of the main limitations of a laptop based office/lifestyle is battery life.

Manufacturers advertise battery life spans of 3, 4, and 5 hours or more. However what they don’t tell you is these times have very very little to do with real use conditions. Now I imagine there are people who use their computers without wifi or a Verizon card constantly on. They also don’t run multiple applications like iTunes, Firefox, and Photoshop all day kicking the CPU utilization up fairly high. I don’t know any of these people but I’m sure they exist.

Fred Wilson is out with a post describing the evolution of his home entertainment set up.

After putting together what sounds like an expensive “over the top” Creston System, he now has a set up with three separate entertainment systems with lots of goodies with Mac Minis as the centerpiece to the strategy.
