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 [...] Thanksgiving 2010: The Enterprise Mobility Perspective
Ahh, Thanksgiving Day in the United States. Sure, a few years ago it was all about remembering the Pilgrims and how they made friends with the Native Americans who were actually here a long time before Christopher Columbus ever boarded the Santa Maria, blah blah blah. Today, we as a society have evolved to look [...] 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 [...] 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 [...] The Evolution of Exchange ActiveSync in Mobile Device Management
I’ve been thinking about this issue for quite some time now….but candidly, I haven’t been necessarily able to put my thoughts to keyboard until today. I guess my key theme is that I have been struck to a certain extent by the evolving role and position of Microsoft’s ActiveSync technology and its role in mobile [...] 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 [...] Recapping the Enterprise Mobility Boot Camp
What a crazy past week. As you know, the CTIA show took place in San Francisco at Moscone West with The Enterprise Mobility Foundation hosting its inaugural Enterprise Mobility Boot Camp. For those of you who did not have the opportunity to attend, let me tell you, you missed out on a great event! Attendees [...] 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 [...]
