Microsoft's software suite for Macintosh is due on fall. Mac has adapted its own applications suite, iWork, with programs called Pages, Numbers and Keynote that fulfill the same needs.

The article states that at least three quarters of the used Macs today run some version of Microsoft Office. Office for Mac 2011 emphasizes on co-authoring, with new features that allow two or more users to work simultaneously on the same document. It also emphasizes on compatibility and cloud computing designed to work smoothly with the Google-like Web Apps.

The product is scheduled to be launched in the fourth quarter of 2010.

There have been rumors of the iSlate, Apple's new tablet device, set to release as early as mid January and with the surrounding buzz and eagerness of their fanbase, it's in their best interest. However, Google, a large competitor to Apple is interested in introducing a tablet device as well. Possibly called the "Courier", it posesses a bulkier design (using two screens over the iSlate's one) and a less jazzy name than the mock ups of the iSlate. The rumors circulating are just that however, and the most recent one states that the deice is scheduled to relese in June later this year.

Tonight is also rumored to be the official announcement of the Courier, as Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer is giving a keynote in Las Vegas. Google is taking the more open approach to their marketing; an official video detailing the device has hit the web and if announced tonight, that would make this tablet officially announcement previous to the iSlate's. I guess we'll find out tomorrow morning.

There is much skepticism in regards to Google coming out with their own phone as early as 2010. Analysts are confused by this decision because they will become direct competitors with cell phone manufacturers that are using Google's Android operating system. Google would be entering into an industry which is extremely competitive and with lack of experience. Some analysts believe that this could end up being a multbillion-dollar mistake. Thus far, Google has had much success with having phone makers adopt its Android software. However, if Google goes through with their decision to develop its own Google-branded Android phone to be sold directly to consumers, then their support will decline. Signal Hill Group analyst Todd Greenwald said, "Google... may figure it is big enough that it can risk upsetting certain partners."
