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 [...] Research in Motion

(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 [...] 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 [...] 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 [...] Where Is The Line Drawn In What Defines a Mobile Operating System?
You know the expression “a picture is worth a thousand words?” Well, today’s missive can absolutely be best described by the photo of French sculptor Auguste Rodin’s “Le Penseur” (The Thinker). In case you missed it, Steven Sinofsky showed off the latest version of Microsoft’s venerable Windows operating system, code named “Windows 8″ to [...] Five Reasons Why Businesses Should Take Another Look At RIM
The Enterprise Device is Dead. Long Live a Secured Device of Choice Today’s mobile product landscape offers sleeker designs, multiple device types, blazing fast processors and richer multimedia applications. The lines between consumer and enterprise devices have been eliminated. There are only people who feel empowered to choose the technology that allows them to effectively [...] Holy Partnership Batman! Microsoft and RIM Deepen Their Relationship
What a week. Hello from the airport lounge at Orlando International Airport….one of the most G*d awful airports in the world IMO. Anyone who flies here regularly can attest to the complete dysfunction that is the security lines. Having completed BlackBerry World 2011, I can finally come up for air. It’s been an incredible few [...] Holy Buyout Batman! RIM Gets Into Cross Platform Mobile Device Management
Hello from beautifully sunny Orlando. I’m here for BlackBerry World – Research in Motion’s annual conference. I’ve been attending what they call Capital Markets Day, where a number of executives share with the analyst community what’s going on at RIM. Right before the all day session began, RIM announced that it had acquired Ubitexx, a [...] (Enterprise) Mobility Has a Lot To Learn From Sports
Unless you have been living under a rock – or simply don’t care about (enterprise) mobility – you know that Research in Motion officially launched this week its first salvo in the tablet war with its BlackBerry PlayBook. This tablet comes on the heels of the iPad 2, myriad tablets running some flavor of the [...]
