CTO Breakfast Report for August 2007
At this morning’s CTO breakfast we talked about:
- Working from home—both from the standpoint of employees and employers. The experiences were all over the map—positive and negative.
- My experience converting physical machines to virtual machines.
- Booting DOS to recover old data and play old games.
- iPhone and Syncing—the group consensus was that syncing needs to be faster and happen over Bluetooth. I got the impression that slow syncing was more of a problem for Windows users than Mac users. Whether this is because of higher expectations because of positive experiences with ActiveSync or real slowness, I’m not sure.
- Comcast’s tiered service offerings. Customers running torrents beware!

Good gathering today Phil. Thanks for the open invitation.

Isn't a requirement for fast syncing and Bluetooth almost an oxymoron? I used to sync my RAZR V3 to my MacBook Pro via Bluetooth and it was painfully slow. I've found iPhone syncing, given the size and frequent chances to my address book, photo library and music collection, to be quite speedy. If it's just an issue for Windows users, hopefully the experience will improve in future versions of iTunes. I do wish Apple would Bonjour-enable the iPhone and allow discovery and sync via WiFi.
