Vringo , the next-generation ringtone pioneer, announced that its free video ringtone application is being pre-linked on global shipments of Sony Ericsson’s Walkman phones and promoted via the manufacturer’s Fun & Downloads portal, introducing Vringo to millions of new users. New Sony Ericsson owners join a thriving community of Symbian , Java and Windows Mobile users who are already experiencing Vringo’s high-quality video ringtones and VringForward technology, which lets users send ringtones to friends just by calling.

The Palm Pre Smartphone, aka by me ‘pow chica pow wow’, was a show stopper at the CES convention in Las Vegas. The Pre, coming soon on the Sprint network, was a surprise crowd pleaser: 1st because Palm isn’t known for stealing the show, 2nd because Sprint isn’t known for stealing the show either. Palm Pre uses the Palm Synergy feature to bring your Outlook, Google, and Facebook calendars together for one logical view of your day. And if you have the same contacts in different places, Pre can link them together, making it easy to find the information you need.

Many in the software industry are reluctant to outsource the design of their applications, and by design I mean the overall usability (look-and-feel, navigation, user experience, etc.). I do not have a definite answer, but I have learned one thing: BEWARE! While it makes total sense to have the back-end of the application developed offshore (whether outsourced or not), it is critical to carefully double check, when not triple check what the real design capabilities of your potential offshore provider are, if you do not want to end up with applications that are just unusable ! SMBs usually call existing references before selecting an outsourcing provider. Make sure design capability is one of your “must ask” questions. The reference certainly knows whether your provider has decent design capabilities or not

With Palm’s recent announcement at CES of their new Palm Pre mobile incorporating their equally new mobile software platform WebOS, one wonders if there is room for yet another Smartphone operating system in the market today. Consider what is happening to the humble mobile today as it is a device that is now replacing traditional PC mobile computing devices and even starting to head into mainstream PC desktop markets. In fact, Nokia last year was the biggest computer manufacturer in 2008

Building a Chinese software outsourcing company shortlist can be time consuming and tedious.  Fortunately, IAOP and Neo IT publish yearly global services company lists of the top outsourcing providers globally.  This article looks at the Chinese software outsourcing companies listed and the validity of these lists. Wading through websites developed by Chinese software outsourcing companies who have meticulously placed keywords to rank high in Google becomes tedious quickly.  It is easy to find more than 100 websites of Chinese software outsourcing companies that are generic and do not actually represent the companies core competencies.  As a result, buyers of offshore services often opt for expert option from service provider lists to create their initial shortlists of potential software outsourcing partners in China.  Although these lists are helpful and save time in creating shortlist, buyers should understand the analysts who create the lists do not have the resources to verify the information provided by the outsourcing companies in the application form.  Without being referred to a vendor by a trusted colleague, or hiring an outsourcing consultant to aid in vendor selection, lists provide an inexpensive way to create a shortlist. The two most respected lists in the global services industry are compiled by IAOP and Neo IT . Both lists include outsourcing companies from around the globe, and are compiled by thought leaders in the outsourcing industry.  IAOP ranks the top 100 companies, while Neo IT lists the top service providers without rankings.  Here is how the Chinese outsourcing companies have ranked over the past three years on the two lists. Chinese software outsourcing company list Company IAOP 2008 NeoIT 2008 IAOP 2007 NeoIT 2007 IAOP 2006 NeoIT 2006 HiSoft 20 34 68 Neusoft 35 25 Ranked Ranked Inspur 38 60 Bleum 77 86 Ranked 74 Ranked Beyondsoft 80 Ranked Acheivo 88 100 Objectiva 96 89 Ranked 85 Ranked Freeborders 97 Ranked Ranked Hundsun Global 98 Augmentum Ranked Ranked Dextrys ( Darwinsuzsoft ) Ranked Ranked Longtop Ranked Ranked Vanceinfo ( Worksoft ) Ranked 96 Ranked IT United * NA NA 86 Ranked 88 Ranked Beijing software testing and QA center 89 Considering both these lists are compiled by industry experts, it is surprising how much they differ.  For example, IAOP ranks Hisoft as the 20 th outsourcing provider in the world, while Neo IT does not include Hisoft in their top 100.  The fact that these lists differ substantially shows the difficulty in ranking Chinese outsourcing companies from overseas.  If the industry experts can not agree on the top companies in China, think of the difficulty Western companies new to outsourcing have creating a list from scratch.
