I have arrived in Moscow.  Quite interesting for someone of my age who grew up in the midst of the cold war and fear of the then Soviet Union.  Tomorrow we setup for the Stockxpert convention taking place on Saturday.  I am looking forward to meeting with hundreds of Stockxpert contributors.

I must mention my first experiences with my new Kindle.  The device is very intuitive to operate.  Downloading books is a true snap.  I read parts of Doris Kearns Goodwin's book - Team of Rivals - which deals with Abraham Lincoln and his management of his cabinet of super strong personalities during the Civil War.  The Kindle was easy to use.  Lots of nuances to pick up but I think I have great piece of equipment.  Best of all the device weighs only a few ounces and the battery seems to last for at least 6 hours or more. 

The Kindle is another part of the Internet revolution.  Future generations of this device should be mind boggling in terms of the services one will be able to access.  I know that one can read books on smartphones (at least on the BlackBerrry) so it is possible that the Kindle could be overtaken by smartphone technology.  Amazon will probably merge the Kindle technology onto a variety of smarphone platforms.  We should be covering that on our new blog - Mobile Content Today and our new tradeshow Mobile Content Strategies.
