The Blackberry is pretty affordable these days, I agree. But is it that very essential? Orkut is blocked in almost all offices today, isn't it? I guess it would be blocked before BT :D Theming the office would be super cool if affordable! The corporate benefits are certainly worthwhile anyday! It seems so logically.

Thanks for recommending Zoho. Not sure whether you have tried Zoho Projects. If you have, would like to hear your valuable comments. We have some neat project management features liek task dependency, Gantt charts etc. Vijay : Nice post! Thanks for recommending Zoho.

I have a couple of points to think about around what to use as a hosting, development, deployment platform.. i think especially internet based startups should figure out if they can leverage google apps, facebook, salesforce.com platform apis to jumpstart their model .. rather than invest time and money on platform building.. i see technology models getting redundant every few years .. i think collaboration is now becoming a commodity with all the social networks, google apps and sharepoints.. similarly in every other area .. zoho is now giving a scare to salesforce with their pricing model .. i am sure similarly in other spaces as well with SAAS as a model will challenge a lot of established companies if they dont move soon enough. On the startup side need to be careful on this. I know this is a little specific .. my 2 cents. Great and very valuable insights over here.
