Good Article
If most companies really know how to measure the business value of IT, we’d see a clear consensus on which metrics to use, and IT executives would feel those metrics accurately capture business value. But our data indicates just the opposite: Companies use many different metrics, and the most popular metrics are used more often by companies that aren’t very good at measuring value. Companies that have developed their own metrics fare somewhat better, but many of those are also dissatisfied. It appears companies aren’t picking the right metrics, don’t know how to go about measuring, or both.
I read and Agree with this article. Good read.

I have tried this on a Blackberry 7250 and the application rocks!!! I use it when going to side jobs in the city. I never know where the buildings are by address but now I enter the address and know exactly where I am going.

Holiday
Verizon Wireless’ EVDO has won itself many fans, and those fans will have a lot to cheer about later this summer or early fall, when the company rolls out an upgrade to its wireless data network.
Verizon’s key supplier Nortel Networks today announced that it will be supplying gear to Verizon and has finished trials successfully. In comparison to today’s EVDO technology, the Rev A technology is able provide peak data rates of up to 3.1 Mbps on the forward link (information flowing from the cellular base station to the subscriber) and up to 1.8 Mbps on the reverse link (information flowing from the subscriber back to the cellular base station).
