SMB Tech News Today; 5/25

Out of the badlands and back to work.

* NetSuite goes handheld. The company's ERP, CRM and e-commerce apps are now available via handheld mobile devices via partnerships with Antenna Software, Explore Mobile, and iEnterprises. (Source: NetworkWorld)

* Last bit of Interop news is pyromania. I'm ticked I missed this. A company that builds disaster-proof enclosures demoed their ability to protect hard drives from harm by setting an enclosure on fire in the parking lot then retrieving data off the disk after the flames died down. Cool series of photos. (Source: InformationWeek)

* FaceBook gets snaps for Web app extensions. Lots of talk on Web apps built around platforms, but FaceBook just unveiled one that really works. Built on straight HTML and scripting (PHP, etc.) extensions, the new platform will let SMBs build data gathering and other service apps around the FaceBook portal. (Source: BetaNews)

* Online shopping still growing. Loads of security SNAFUs aren't slowing down etailing growth according to a new study sponsored by RightNow.com. Worth reading if that's your SMB. (Source: RightNow.com)
