Lets talk about Google Apps
Google has decided to shake up the desktop market and bring its strong brand and ingenuity to corporate business. They have bundled services and products that combine traditional desktop application with online communication. We will be exploring this product in great detail in later sessions in this blog. This is a breakdown of the product offerings that are included in Google Apps:
Google Docs
Gmail
Google Calendar
Google Sites
Google Video
Google Groups
Microsoft Office 2010
We just talked about Microsoft 2007 earlier, now I would like to share that Microsoft is coming up with Microsoft 2010 this year. It is the latest technology in office word, excel, e-mail. It is presumed that product will be widely available in June 2010. They are planning to launch this product in the value range of $99 to $ 499 the company said in the blog posting. Microsoft is planning to attract more customers by providing this product cheaper to their customer.
Lets talk about the Blackberry Storm
If you are on the Verizon network then you should take the time and check out the Blackberry Storm. If you have never used a Blackberry before then expect a life changing moment that will forever change your life. The Blackberry Storm may not be on par with Apple IPhone but the cell phone is still the most appropriate to support business people. Like the IPhone, the Blackberry has an abundance of applications that are available from you can choose from. On my Blackberry, my favorite application that I am currently using is the Bing app. The Bing application allows me to do searches, get driving directions, and find the closest restaurants that are closest to me. The Blackberry is GPS activated, so you can get a map to show where you are anywhere in the world. The screen of the cellular phone is quite large and is sensitive to touch. You can push the screen down, and you can feel the pressure of the screen. This is a useful feature when you are texting to your friends or colleagues for accurate messaging. The Blackberry also has built in email software that allows you to manage all of your email accounts. If you are like me and have about 3 or more email accounts then this feature is great. Overall, the Storm is the way to go if you are a business user.
Lets Talk about Microsoft Office
Microsoft Office has been around for a long time and is the market leader in Office applications. Microsoft Corporation developed desktop applications to support the end user in developing documents to support business or personal use. There are many products and releases of the Microsoft Office Suite. Some of the notable applications that are included in Microsoft Office 2007 edition are:
Word
Is the most used application of the entire office suite. Microsoft Word allows you to create simple office documents without much skill and can be created very easily. Most people use word to write articles, documents, messages, school work, reports, and anything else you may think of. This application supports many different types of fonts, text sizes, and has built in html formatting.

Excel
Most business communicate with each other through numbers. The beauty about excel is that it is a two dimensional spreadsheet that is divided into rows and columns that allows you to store data. The data can be numerical, alphanumeric, dates, or anything you want. You can roll up data in groupings, do statistical analysis using functions, or almost anything you can think of. This is probably the most important application that any business can use.
Visio
The first thing that I have to say is that "I love Visio". I use Visio to to build process maps, data flow diagrams, flow charts, and organizational charts. This is a must have tool for any one involved in Business Process Engineering.
Outlook
This is a must have application for small businesses. This is a front end tool that allows you to download emails from the server and store all messages on to your local desktop. The software is great in managing emails, who sent the email, who you sent emails to, date sent, and relative importance.

Power Point
If you do a lot of presentations at the office or need to do a presentation for school, you would want to pick up a copy of power point. This software allows you to build presentations through designing slides that allow you to communicate your message to your audience. You can use animations, sounds, templates, or what ever you want. This is a very important tool for any future managers.

Lets Talk about Bing
The first thing that you will notice about this new search engine is the name "Bing". The name grabs you and captures your attention. We do find it quite amazing to see the progress that Microsoft has made in the search engine market. With the fresh design, strong algorithm to support accurate searches, and commercials to build the brand; this seems to be a great innovative time for Microsoft. We can only hope for future innovations from Microsoft that would capture our imagination like Bing.
