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 [...] 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
You can find below the slides from the 2011 Enterprise Mobility Boot Camp that was held at the Fall CTIA show in San Diego. Slides from the Mobile Risk Management session are graciously provided by IntegriCell. These documents can only be used for personal education and may not be distributed by vendors/ISVs/consultants without express written [...] Research in Motion – The Options Now
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 [...] 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 [...]
