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 [...] (Enterprise) Mobility: It’s About Playing Chess, Not Checkers
It’s only Wednesday morning and it’s already been a crazy week. Like many of you (I would assume), I spent the better part of Monday digesting the news regarding Google announcing its intention to buy Motorola. Since the news came out, I can’t tell you how many people have called or emailed me to ask [...] Mind Your Own Mobile Business App Business
Hmmm….how do I begin today’s missive without having it turn into a rant? Candidly, it’s going to be a little difficult because of the document I just read today. As some of you might know, Apple released a few weeks ago its new Volume Purchasing Program (VPP) as a means for companies to deploy business [...] Does the OS (Mobile or Otherwise) Still Matter?
I was watching one of the business TV channels recently, and a guest expressed the opinion that RIM’s (BlackBerry) current problems stem largely from the lack of a contemporary and competitive operating system. OK, my views on RIM are on record – they’re going to survive and can even prosper in the future, sustained by [...] How Patent Law Could Radically Change The Mobile Landscape
Since yesterday, I have been biting my tongue a bit….trying my best to not comment on something that occurred yesterday. Unfortunately, it’s been nagging so much that I just can’t stop myself from writing this missive. I’ve been trying to hold off because it’s not 100% DIRECTLY related to enterprise mobility and how organizations should [...] BYOD’s Impact On Mobile Enterprise Applications
I had an interesting conversation today with someone regarding my thoughts on how HTML5 Is Not (Yet) a Panacea For Mobile Enterprise Applications. The person asked one question that got me thinking. Is there any impact on your mobile enterprise application strategy if you choose to allow personally liable devices to be used in the [...] Strategy vs. Requirements: The Enterprise Mobility Perspective
Before we get ready here in the United States to celebrate the birth of our nation by enjoying a nice long weekend, I wanted to pen one quick missive based upon an article I just stumbled upon. It was an interview with Richard Kerris, HP’s vice president of Worldwide Developer Relations, as he talked about [...] RIM Is The Rodney Dangerfield of Mobility
I’ve been on a bit of a health kick these days. I am now up at the crack of dawn and going to the gym several times a week. It feels great actually to get the blood and endorphins going at 6am. It’s also a great way to get a preview of the financial markets [...] Why Enterprise Mobility Planning Matters
It’s a wonderful day today here in Boston. Wonderfully sunny sky, high 80s and dry….and oh ya, there was a certain Cup from Lord Stanley of Preston that was awarded for the first time in 39 years to the mighty Boston Bruins. Congratulations to the Bruins for the great win and also a hearty congratulations [...] The Apple iCloud: The Enterprise Mobility Perspective
Yesterday’s Apple Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) had a bunch of announcements, including MacOS X “Lion,” iOS 5 and of course the iCloud….Apple’s response to the continuing trend of putting everything in “the cloud.” While I wasn’t able to watch the blogosphere’s play by play recount of the event, I was able to catch up on [...]
