Interestingly, I recently had an email exchange with Anirvan about the definitions of a recession. He's extremely well versed in his craft and has done quite a bit of work amassing information about cycles and how they play out.
I'm not discounting the possibility of a double-dip, but I think it's highly unlikely. Too many tech cycles have been overdrawn at this point. Upgrades must be performed soon, and companies are just making sure their bottom lines are healthy before they engage in the required improvements they know they have to make.
Besides, optimism is a force multiplier. If we all sit around and mope about how bad things are, without actually doing anything about it...it will only get worse.

Spain's Moviles (014411103) in deal with Oracle, HP

MADRID, May 20 (Reuters) - Leading Spanish cellphone company Telefonica Moviles said on Monday it had reached a deal with Oracle (ORCL) and Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) to develop mobile phone solutions for corporate clients in Spain. Moviles said in a statement it would use Oracle's ERP/CRM applications, know as E-Business Suite, as well as Hewlett-Packard's HP-UX, HP-Proliant, HP iPaq and HP Services Terminals to provide mobile business solutions.

A Moviles spokesman said the deal did not involve any payment. He said the company did not have figures on how many of its 17.3 million Spanish subscribers were corporate clients.
