Normally, I’m not a big fan of the “See, I told you so” approach to commentary.

Holy Partnership Batman! Nokia and Microsoft Team Up: The Enterprise Mobility Perspective
Normally, I’m not a big fan of the “See, I told you so” approach to commentary. But this time, I will point to one entry in September and another in December of last year, where I suggested Nokia team up with Microsoft to jointly develop Windows Phone devices. That day has officially arrived. There will [...] New Speculation Around Microsoft and Nokia
I must admit that today, I was hoping to provide some commentary on Steve Ballmer’s CES keynote – particularly around anything that he was planning on saying regarding tablets/smartpads. Too bad Mr. Ballmer chose to completely overlook this emerging market during his high profile presentation. That was a bit of a drag and an even [...] Looking Back On Enterprise Mobility in 2010
It’s December 31….the last day of the year. Sorry I have been out of touch this week, but I have been buried closing out the year, getting ready for 2011 and taking care of some pretty exciting personal stuff. That said, 2010 has been a pretty amazing year. As I sat down to begin writing [...] Thoughts on Nokia Potentially Licensing Windows Phone 7: The Enterprise Mobility Perspective
As you have probably heard, there is a rumor going around the interweb that Nokia is in talks with Microsoft to license the Windows Phone 7 operating system. As can be expected, people are now weighing in on the pros and cons of such a move. As you might recall, I suggested this move the [...] Nokia Gets Qt
Nokia has been feeling the heat lately. Its smartphone market share is dropping dramatically due to pressure primarily from iPhone and Android devices. Even in Europe and emerging markets, where Nokia has an established brand and compelling presence, it is not immune. And its reliance on Symbian, an old-line mobile OS that didn’t keep up [...] Slides From The Enterprise Mobility Boot Camp
You can find below the slides from the Enterprise Mobility Boot Camp that was held at the Fall 2010 CTIA show in San Francisco. Slides from the Mobile Application Strategies (Internal/External) session are graciously provided by Lopez Research. These documents can only be used for personal education and may not be distributed by vendors/ISVs/consultants without [...] How is Using Android Like Wetting Oneself?
Since this is a family site, I’ll let you read the original quote from Anssi Vanjoki, who runs Nokia’s smartphone division, yourself. But suffice it to say that he uses the analogy of a technique that some Finnish boys apparently use to keep warm in winter as a reason for handset vendors not to go [...] 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 [...] Holy Shake-up Batman! Nokia Loses CEO and Smartphone Chief
Well, this week has already become interesting. I was thinking yesterday evening as I watched very large grown men running towards each other as fast as they can to tackle each other (I love football) about the fact that Nokia announced this past Friday that CEO Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo was leaving to be replaced by Microsoft’s [...] 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 [...]
