Mobile Only: Week 4 When I first began this endeavor of working only from my smartphone, the experience was strange, unusual, and slow. Even with using a monitor, keyboard, and mouse I found it took extra time to complete tasks. I attributed this to years of executing tasks on the PC in the same manner, [...] Mobile Platforms

Mobility – The Skin That You’re In
Mobile Only: Week 4 When I first began this endeavor of working only from my smartphone, the experience was strange, unusual, and slow. Even with using a monitor, keyboard, and mouse I found it took extra time to complete tasks. I attributed this to years of executing tasks on the PC in the same manner, [...] Email – The Entrance to Enterprise Mobility
Mobile Only: Week3 In the beginning, there was email – at least it was for enterprise mobility. It would be difficult to argue against the idea that email was the incentive to bring mobility in to the enterprise. It was the first thing that the enterprise and users sought to enable on their devices. It [...] An Open Letter To United States Representative Markey Re: The ‘‘Mobile Device Privacy Act’’
Representative Markey, My name is Philippe Winthrop and I am the Managing Director of The Enterprise Mobility Foundation (click here to see my bio on LinkedIn). The EMF is an independent (downtown) Boston-based think tank, whose sole mission is to evangelize best practices in terms of how organizations can reap the greatest benefits from deploying [...] Here’s to Mobile Only!
Site Note: We’d like to introduce you to Benjamin Robbins. Ben is an EMF member who is so passionate about enterprise mobility that he has decided to conduct an experiment – to only use a smartphone for work (no laptop or tablet) for an entire year – and share his experiences with the EMF community. [...] Lessons Learned In Enterprise Mobility in Retail
This was, admittedly, a rather disappointing weekend. No no…I’m not talking about the emotionally crushing defeat that my beloved New England Patriots suffered yesterday in Superbowl XLVI. I’m talking instead about a visit I made to a “Big Box” retail store. I went to that store looking at kitchen appliances. The most exciting part of [...] Apple’s New Textbooks: The Enterprise Mobility Perspective
As we speak, Apple is showcasing in New York City its new iBooks 2 platform, alongside its new wonderfully immersive Textbooks. In one respect, I’ve been wondering when this would happen in the education space. Nevermind the green side of the equation (less trees being turned into pulp), there are wonderful improvements in terms of [...] Emerging Global Opportunities In Enterprise Mobility
It’s about 104 degrees right now in Buenos Aires. I’m here, one more day than I had planned for my honeymoon because there was a minor problem with the plane that was supposed to take us home yesterday evening. They grounded the airplane because they couldn’t get the public address system to work in the [...] Five Predictions for Enterprise Mobility in 2012

The five predictions include: [...] 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 [...]
