Business Users Pushing IT to Adapt
Yesterday’s Wall Street Journal ran an interesting article about businesses adopting Apple’s iPads.

TrackVia Releases Special Offer to QuickBase Customers
In light of recent, multiple service downtimes experienced by Intuit, we have announced a special migration package for QuickBase customers. The offer includes three months of free service, up to 50% savings, 99.5% Service Level Agreement, and proven migration methodology and tools. We also offer a 14-day free trial for anyone to check out.
TrackVia has delivered continuous 99.99% availability to over 1,000 customers for 5+ years, including many who have migrated from QuickBase. Our product suite is built on LAMP-stack architecture -- the most widely used open-source web application stack in the world today. This has enabled us to develop a solution with components that are well documented, supported, scalable, and dependable. The use of a truly relational back-end system through MySQL allows TrackVia to deliver relational capabilities. Unlike competitors who only 'emulate' this by placing data into memory, TrackVia performs with speedy response times and extremely high levels of reliability.
Google Jumps on the App Creating Bandwagon
Google just launched its App Inventor earlier this week – making it possible for anyone to create applications for Android phones, regardless of whether they have programming experience or not.
