Periodically, I share some of the most interesting, unusual or innovative ideas which they might showcase.  This blog features several from a variety of topic areas which I hope will offer you some insight on what is happening now or may come in the future.  A couple strike me as more whimsey than reality, but the are interesting none the less. ### [Android Reaches 80% market share of mobile OSs](http://venturebeat.com/2013/08/01/android-reaches-massive-80-market-share-windows-phone-hits-global-high-iphone-languishes/) This Venture Beat article from their mobile edition outlines recent study results that reinforce the dominance of the mobile phone market by the Android OS.  The next closest is a long ways away with Mac iOS at 14% market share, and Windows Mobile Phone at 4% of the global phone market. ### [Why your business should care about CASL](http://www.itbusiness.ca/blog/why-your-business-should-care-about-casl/39110) The second topic which caught my eye this week is an article in itBusiness about the current status of the Canadian anti-spam legislation which is undergoing review and comment for the development of the regulations for the implementation of the bill.  Current word is that the legislation will not come into effect till some time in 2014 but it will have definite impact on all businesses who use email in their marketing efforts, ### [How About A Cardboard Printer From Samsung?](http://www.wired.com/design/2013/08/3-clever-new-ideas-for-printers-from-samsung/?goback=%2Egde_3090116_member_265641771#%21) **Not a printer for printing on cardboard but one that is made of cardboard.**  This one is on the lighter side as the included video shows some development work that printer manufacturer Samsung has done to build three different versions of consumer focused printers using unusual casing materials and design elements.  The neatest format from my view was the cardboard origami casing which led to a neat looking (and working) laser printer.  There are two other models shown from a fold up plastic housing to a customizable unit which [c](http://www.wired.com/design/2013/08/3-clever-new-ideas-for-printers-from-samsung/?goback=%2Egde_3090116_member_265641771#%21)an have various colour and designs of paneling affixed to the working pieces. ### [Fujitsu Develops a Fingertip Touch Interface For Data Capture](http://www.wired.com/design/2013/08/3-clever-new-ideas-for-printers-from-samsung/?goback=%2Egde_3090116_member_265641771#%21) Another video to take a look at showing some recent development work that Fujitsu has undertaken to design a new way of using your finger tip to interact with books, paper documents or other items which are being scanned into electronic format.  Still being tested and not quite at the release stage it can cause you to stretch your mind about how you might use this type of tool. ### [Stack of Paper Printer With No Drawers](http://www.engadget.com/2013/08/16/stack-printer-concept/) Here's a final quick story with even a more different printer.  This one runs by being placed on top of a stack of printer paper and then it just runs down from there.  Not in commercial production yet it is someone's idea of how to simplify and reduce the cost of a printer.  Take a look. These articles all have some foward looking elements to them and show how rapidly our businesses can be impacted by advances in technology.  In some cases we see how whole market segments can be shaken by newer entrants who offer a different way to handle their product introductions. ## What things are occuring in your market which could have similar impact on your business?  Are there research activities going on which could lead to significant changes for your markets or your customers' markets. Hope you find these short items interesting.... ### ***Lee K***   [![Document Processing - 10 Case Studies Download](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/79412/e837f3e7-82e3-4274-ae08-1907366834a3.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/79412/e837f3e7-82e3-4274-ae08-1907366834a3)   [![Subscribe For Notice Of Each Article](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/79412/38324bc3-e2f4-440b-aee8-bd9dcb4a5534.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/79412/38324bc3-e2f4-440b-aee8-bd9dcb4a5534)   ``` Photo credit itBusiness.ca ``` Topics: [technology tools](https://www.leppert.com/office-document-strategies-blog/topic/technology-tools), [spam](https://www.leppert.com/office-document-strategies-blog/topic/spam), [Fujitsu](https://www.leppert.com/office-document-strategies-blog/topic/fujitsu), [Samsung](https://www.leppert.com/office-document-strategies-blog/topic/samsung) ### Office Document Strategies ### ![Computer network](https://www.leppert.com/hs-fs/file-15667396-jpg/images/images-resized-164.jpg?width=178&height=145&name=images-resized-164.jpg) This blog discusses ways to optimize and improve the management and production of documents used in your business.  Business documents and their content - whether paper or electronic, are the repository of corporate knowledge which underpins all of the functions of commerce.
