Some Thoughts From BlackBerry World 2012
Hello from sunny Orlando. I’ve been here with several thousand of my closest friends attending the much anticipated BlackBerry World as many mobile eyes wanted to catch a glimpse of the forthcoming BlackBerry 10 operating system. How was the show you might ask? What do I think of BB 10? What was the reaction of [...] Here’s to Mobile Only!
Site Note: We’d like to introduce you to Benjamin Robbins. Ben is an EMF member who is so passionate about enterprise mobility that he has decided to conduct an experiment – to only use a smartphone for work (no laptop or tablet) for an entire year – and share his experiences with the EMF community. [...] Lessons Learned In Enterprise Mobility in Retail
This was, admittedly, a rather disappointing weekend. No no…I’m not talking about the emotionally crushing defeat that my beloved New England Patriots suffered yesterday in Superbowl XLVI. I’m talking instead about a visit I made to a “Big Box” retail store. I went to that store looking at kitchen appliances. The most exciting part of [...] Apple’s New Textbooks: The Enterprise Mobility Perspective
As we speak, Apple is showcasing in New York City its new iBooks 2 platform, alongside its new wonderfully immersive Textbooks. In one respect, I’ve been wondering when this would happen in the education space. Nevermind the green side of the equation (less trees being turned into pulp), there are wonderful improvements in terms of [...] Emerging Global Opportunities In Enterprise Mobility
It’s about 104 degrees right now in Buenos Aires. I’m here, one more day than I had planned for my honeymoon because there was a minor problem with the plane that was supposed to take us home yesterday evening. They grounded the airplane because they couldn’t get the public address system to work in the [...] Reflecting On Enterprise Mobility in 2011: Part I
I can’t believe we are just two days away from Christmas. Almost everyone is winding down for the year to spend some much deserved time with family and get ready for the new year. It’s also a great time to reflect on what has taken place in the last 12 months. Maybe I’m just getting [...] The Cure For The BYOD Blues?
Just under 15,000. That’s the number of miles United Airlines tells me I have traveled in the last 2 1/2 weeks. Not the best excuse, but really the only one I have for not having shared any missives with you on a regular basis during this time period. Miracle of miracles, I am not traveling [...] The Death Knell for RIM?
RIM announced Tuesday that they will not be releasing PlayBook OS 2.0 until at least February 2012, when they will be “confident we have fully met the expectations of our developers, enterprise customers and end-users,” according to David Smith, SVP of BlackBerry PlayBook at RIM. And what will they do to fully meet these expectations? [...] Interop Fall 2011: The Big Issues Now
I’ve had the privilege of Chairing the Wireless and Mobility Track at the Interop conferences for some time now. Interop Spring, held in Las Vegas, is the largest enterprise IT event in the world, and the New York event, Interop Fall, while smaller, is in no way less intense than its big brother. In planning [...] Slides From The 2011 Enterprise Mobility Boot Camp
