Portable, But Not Mobile: A Study of Wireless Laptops in the Home | 2007-04-24 | Springer Science+Business Media |
| This paper reports a qualitative study of the use of physical space and wireless laptops by ten United States households. Although wireless laptops purportedly offer the opportunity and affordances to go "Anywhere in the home," laptops were generally used in a small set of particular places rather than moving fluidly through the home: wireless laptops were portable, but not mobile per se. The paper presents factors that influence laptop movement in the home. It also presents a model of people's use of space in the home, identifying a small set of favored places of long-term use and a larger set of kinetic places used for specific tasks.

Mail Order Firm Enhances Reporting, Improves Customer Service, and Cuts Licensing Costs | 2007-01-01 01:00:30 | Microsoft |
| Germany's third largest mail order company neckermann.de GmbH employs 7,800 people and recorded revenues of €1.71 billion (U.S.$2.03 billion) in 2004. A third of the company's sales are generated through 700,000 agency customers. Field service staff, responsible for supporting these, historically received business updates from headquarters every two weeks. As a result, information, such as customer payment arrears, was often out of date. To address this, the company deployed a new information system based on Microsoft SQL Server 2000 and IBM ThinkPad mobile computers. This provides staff with current business data and helps them address customer queries more quickly. | |||

HP Laptops Keep Pilot on Track | 2006-12-20 01:00:25 | Hewlett-Packard |
| According to the National Agriculture Statistics Service, as of January 1, 2006, there were some 97.1 million cattle and calves in the United States. Production on this scale is necessary to supply both the nation's and the trading partner's beef and dairy needs. But this large-scale opportunity also presents an animal health/public safety challenge: when an animal becomes sick, it's critical to quickly locate that individual animal and also to accurately determine whether any other animals were exposed to a potential disease threat. It's a challenge that demands robust, innovative Information Technology solution, like that offered by ViaTrace in partnership with HP. |
