As we approach the end of the year, thoughts traditionally turn to the future. I thought I’d get an early start. Near term we have the widely rumored launch of the new Apple Newton, uh, I mean iPhone. A little further out we have the emergence of true telepresence — which brings the possibility that companies will no longer reimburse business travel for most of us. Finally, we have, with Oracle’s rumored plans to offer its own Linux distribution, the possibility of that firm taking out Novell (and maybe Red Hat, too) — and either hitting Apple hard — or buying it.
Apple’s iPhone, No More Biz Travel, Oracle vs. Novell vs. Apple
