Inside Looking Out: An Executive View on Enterprise Mobility with Steve Brumer
Welcome to the latest edition of Inside Looking Out. This past week, I spoke with Steve Brumer. Steve is the Founder and CEO at Wireless Rain. Wireless Rain was established in 2003 as a National Value-Added Master Dealer, wireless product distributor and solution provider. I originally met Steve when I joined the editorial advsiory board [...] Can FOTA Further Marginalize Carriers?
There’s a new article at Information Week that discusses how Microsoft is planning on providing updates to its mobile OS directly to users, much like Apple, Palm and Google do for their respective OSs. I think this is a great thing, but it made me start to think about how this will impact carriers. AT&T Wireless Customers In The Enterprise
Does your organization use AT&T as a wireless carrier? Are you considering switching to or from AT&T? This PowerPoint presentation profiles the behavior of 184 organizations that use AT&T Wireless’ network (as opposed to any other carrier) in order to glean insights into the different drivers for enterprise mobility adoption and their associated benefits. The [...] Holy Partnership Batman! Verizon Develops Mobility Management Services
Hot off the press at 3am this morning, Verizon announced today that it is now offering both through Verizon Wireless and Verizon Business a new suite of mobility management services for wireless expense management, logistics, mobile device management, security and mobile application management. This is some pretty interesting news, but I wonder how successful this [...] FCC Probes: Carriers, Apple…What About App Stores in General?

The web is all a twitter (can I say that now?) with the news that the FCC will be [...] What $99 Means To Enterprise Mobility
$99. That doesn’t get you much these days. My dad, bless his soul, used to tell me when he could buy a loaf of bread for $.05 (mind you, he was born in 1930). He also told me he walked uphill – both ways – to school, but I digress. Nowadays, you can spend $100 [...] webOS Becomes Even More Enterprise Mobility Friendly
The Palm Pre and webOS Are Now Only Two Days Away
There were some interesting announcements that came out last week that I didn’t get a chance to comment on, but now with the Palm Pre only TWO days away, I guess I should get to them. With the incredibly hyped media (you actually have to wonder if all this hype is a good thing – [...] It’s Official – Palm Pre is Coming on June 6 at $199
Well the speculation is now over. Palm and Sprint just announced a few minutes ago that the Pre will be available on June 6 for $199 (on contract) after a $100 mail in rebate. I suggested when the device was announced that this was exactly where the device had to be priced. This makes a [...] BES & BIS vs. ActiveSync and SCMDM
Greetings from 35,000 ft above somewhere as I make my way to Phoenix for my speaking engagement. My trip started off on the right note when the flight to Chicago was delayed 30 minutes with no ETA as to when we would actually be taking off. Given that I have to be in Phoenix this [...]
