On January 4th 2009, I wrote the following predictions for 2009! I added this text now, with what really happened!

1.) Mobile Platforms
Prediction on January 4th 2009:
The Next Genaration iPhone bring apple to 90% Markt Share in the Smart Phone Market. Users state, the key reason for buy it is the superior usability of the operating system. In other words: The Lack of Mobile Killer Applications, is not the missing software, but the poor usability of phones in the past!

What happened?
Apple did not manage to get 90% market share, but has significant smart phone market share.  Motorla, Sony Ericison, and Nokia are in full retreat. Their current platforms do not allow them to play on that level. Especially Nokia has been hard hit with their very dated existing operating system platform a catch seems not feasible.

Google Announced this week, the development of a new Open Source and Free PC Operating System, called Chrome. Google's new browser for Windows, Macintosh, and Linux is also called Chrome.

Google suggestes, that it sees the traditional Desktop Operating Systems as outdated and it wants to develop a true Internet age platform.

The OS is based on Linux at the core, but will have a new user interface layer, which will use Internet development languages to write applications for it.

Why did Google do this? Well, if we look at the struggle Hardware provider have to place a OS on Netbooks, we can understand why: Sony's New Netbook uses Windows XP, but also ha a quick email and browser function, which can boot in seconds. This functions is based upon Linux.

During my time in the industry, one of my tasks was to set up a global core banking platform, as a shared service centrally. For this to happen, I also had to manage the setup of two global data centres, with the plan to evolve these towards a global application hosting centre, for service-oriented architecture-based application frameworks. At the time I pursued a multi-sourcing strategy, with project management, enterprise architecture as well as technology subject matter expertise, provided internally, to complement the service provider skills, although the vendors have been multinationals in their own right.
