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 [...] Slides From The 2011 Enterprise Mobility Boot Camp

Slides from the Mobile Risk Management session are graciously provided by IntegriCell.

RIM, the maker of the popular (well, historically, anyway; read on) BlackBerry line of products, and one of the firms that essentially defined mobility as we know it today, has been all over the financial news for months. The company’s stock has fallen dramatically (it was around 145 only a little more than a year [...] Making The Case For Four (Enterprise) Mobility Ecosystems
As you may have seen yesterday, RIM posted some pretty disappointing earnings for the second quarter. As expected, the stock tanked in after hours trading, and is down ~20% today. The situation is anything but rosy for our good friends in Waterloo. And those very highly paid vultures better known as financial analysts continue their [...] He Who Laughs Last (In Enterprise Mobility) Laughs Best
I’m a big history buff. See, the reason being because I believe that we simply don’t know how to learn from our past…even though the past always seems to repeat itself. One of my favorite examples is how the Cloud is nothing we haven’t seen with mainframes and dumb terminals some 20-30 years ago. Here’s [...] The Optimal Device Mix: Back to the Notebook?
Tablet, tablet, iPad, tablet, and more tablet. That’s all you hear these days. People wait for the next iPad like it’s, well, the third coming, breath baited, credit cards primed, practically slobbering over the fine Corinthian aluminum. Man, I just love Apple’s marketing – the best in the world, the best ever in fact. They [...] And Then There Were Four: The Enterprise Mobility Perspective
Wow. What an absolutely chaotic week in the world of (enterprise) mobility. We spent the majority of the week digesting Monday’s news where Google announced its intention to buy Motorola. Not to be outdone by that news, HP announced yesterday that it was cancelling immediately its webOS hardware business and considering its “strategic options” for [...]
