In my last column, I mentioned the fact that I was shopping for a new handset, and, at last, that process is now complete. Now, as I work in the mobility field, I don’t go all ga-ga over new toys. Well, OK, I do, for a couple of days, anyway, but truth be told I [...] Motorola

My New Handset: A Tough Decision? Not Really…
In my last column, I mentioned the fact that I was shopping for a new handset, and, at last, that process is now complete. Now, as I work in the mobility field, I don’t go all ga-ga over new toys. Well, OK, I do, for a couple of days, anyway, but truth be told I [...] The Enterprise Mobility Policy Guidebook: October 2010 Edition
Research shows that over 90% of organizations now have employees using smartphones within their work environments. Depending on the size of the organization, this can cover tens of thousands of individuals. However, enterprise mobility management can be a daunting task for organizations. The first step in managing mobility is to have a mobility policy. Other [...] Is Mobility The OS Or The Hardware?
Ah, the day back after a long weekend. It was a great time here in Boston during the Labor Day celebration. I even had my best round of golf ever yesterday….but it’s now time to get back to enterprise mobility. Last night, I found this interesting article at Information Week that asked the question of [...] Mobility’s New Hybrid: Motorola’s ES400 Crosses a Smartphone With a Rugged Handheld
In July, I interviewed Motorola’s VP and GM of mobile devices, Girish Rishi, for my video blog. Girish discussed a new type of device that Motorola announced which is due to ship this fall called the ES400. It’s not a smartphone, nor is it the brick that was the ruggedized phones of the past. Motorola [...] Android Fragmentation: What It Means For You, Dear IT Manager
Android. The Wunderkind mobile operating system from your friends at Google. So pretty, so powerful and so popular that it is now purportedly outselling the iPhone in the United States. Around the world, Google tells us there are approximately 100,000 Android devices being activateddaily. The best part of this story is of course that Google offers [...] BlackBerry Push Ups the Ante in App War with Enterprise Implications
With the ever-intensifying app war out in the smartphone marketplace, BlackBerry-maker Research In Motion has upped the ante by offering a new push service for BlackBerry software developers to enable rapid delivery of application-content to BlackBerry smartphones. It’s no secret that RIM has a market leading user experience for mobile push email, underpinned by it’s “ground-up for wireless” [...] Windows Phone 7 Series: The Enterprise Mobility Perspective
Today has been one heck of a busy day. If you read this blog, you know that today, Microsoft officially announced Windows Phone 7 Series (gotta love Redmondian branding), its brand new mobile platform geared to getting it back “in the game” and more aggressively compete with the likes of Apple, Google and Palm. The [...] Mobile Network and Device Performance: Whose Responsibility Is It?
Now that the political dust has finally settled (it even made the news on the BBC) in my fair Commonwealth (for some reason, we’re not a State), I can now get back to fully focusing on scouring the webosphere to see what people are saying about enterprise mobility. I was sent a link yesterday by a [...] Can Carriers Sell Enterprise Mobility Solutions Based On Consumer Devices?
Hello from non frozen San Francisco. Although this weekend was very bad for me in terms of the NFL playoffs, I did at least get to spend some time in one of my favorite cities in the country. While taking the public transportation system back from Fisherman’s Wharf, I started thinking about a conversation I [...] Google Nexus One: The Enterprise Mobility Perspective
Second business day of the year and a second blog entry. See? I am trying to keep my promise of more frequent posts. I’m sure you saw today that Google announced its very own device: the Google Nexus One. The first (of many) Android device(s) that will be developed and directly branded by Google itself. [...]
