Fifth Wave of Computing in Business 2.0

Finally picked up the article in Business 2.0 on the Fifth Wave of Computing. It picks Ambient Devices as one of the "Big Kahunas" of the Fifth Wave of Computing.

The big kahunas are a good crowd to be in:
Amazon.com, Ambient Devices, Audium, Cisco, Google, IBM, Salesforce.com, Skype, Successfactors, Tibco, Transera

Interestingly even though the article opens with Microsoft R&D Rick Rashid, they are not mentioned as a big kahuna. I plan to ask Om about this, but my guess is because although they use network proliferation (msn spot), p2p and other tools - all of it is generally in very closed off, piecemeal, un-fifth-wave ways.

Full text of the article here temporarily.

Also see chat on Om Malik's blog about the Fifth Wave, and some more chat on it from Robert Hof over at Business Week.
