Last week I was in an online panel with Flexiant and ThinkGrid talking doling out advice for service providers who want to go cloud. Rather than the usual vendor/analyst dynamic, we managed to get an end-user, as it were, on as well, Rob Lovell, CEO of ThinkGrid.
The result was a fun discussion: we focused a tremendous amount of getting not only the proper, differentiation and asset-advantaging strategy in place, but also starting small and working iteratively to learn what will work, you know, Lean Startup style.

I threw this camera out today. I’ve owned it since around 2002 or so. I used to carry it constantly alongside my RAZR and other (feature) cellphones. It was a great camera and cemented the Canon brand as “just works, good stuff” in my mind. I let my 3 year old son use it for several months and despite living in my pocket for years, it couldn’t take him.

Good #DellWorld summary and take from @benkepes
Good wrap-up so far:
It’s a long list of news but I’m left wondering how substantive it will actually be for Dell as a company. I understand their new strategy of being a neutral player and offering a plethora of cloud services – but all these announcements run the risk of creating mass confusion for the customer base – with Dell’s sales force having to articulate a value proposition that differentiates between all these different partnerships, customers could well be left scratching their heads.

What's the plan at Dell? Questions for #DellWorld
Going into DellWorld, there are a handful of high-level questions - well, really, statements in the form of questions - that’d love to hear Dell’s reaction to. They all really revolved around “what’s the plan now?”:
How is Dell going to run things differently now, day-to-day? From what I can tell (reading press releases), the strategy is the same as the the last 2-3 years, which is to become more of a one stop shop for hardware, software, and services - sort of “IBM Junior,” and I mean that in a highly complementary way.
