News Update - Monday 17/1/11

Here's the pick of the last fortnight's news stories that are likely to impact your business:

Tablets and Smartphones: The recent Consumer Electronics Show had a raft of new products, based mainly on Android. Here are some of the best. For business, there are opportunities to sell/provide apps to end-users, or provide a means to take advantage of the growing library of downloadable apps.

SaaS adoption: Forester expects some 25% of 123 types of software products run on-premise will be disrupted by Software as a Service cloud offerings

New web-based services: On the back of SaaS are services that use hosted apps, in this example to improve contract renewal rates

Mobile payments: Whilst you can use a mobile to make lo-value purchases such as car parking, ways for salespeople to use their mobile phone to swipe credit cards for higher valued transactions are on their way here.
