They have the money to invest for this.... but right now are firing and laying off American workers and sending accounts to India. Lucky, my husband has an offer for new employment before he was to go in 2 months.

Wow! Re: "IBM Research employs 3,000 scientists across eight major labs throughout the world..."

This is quite interesting... and, it appears that we are getting there slowly. "Prepare To Beam Us All Up - Scotty"!

BTW, re: "Enterprise to end-user mobile experience
Here IBM wants to build a better relationship between the mobile user and the back end. By analyzing consumer and business habits, the mobile Web would get better at providing personalized content.

"Mobility and the associated analytics will change virtually every enterprise business process," said Paul Bloom, chief technologist, IBM Telecom Research. "It will change the relationship between enterprises and their customers, their employees and their partners, enabling them to do business in more intelligent, efficient ways."

Somehow, there is that sense/feeling that IBM has been down this trajectory/road before!!! Can anyone else recall anything with regards to this approach; or, is this approach something entirely new?
