Welcome to the latest edition of Inside Looking Out. This past week, I spoke with Franck DELORME. Why did I put his last name in all caps? That’s because that’s what you do with French last names!

Inside Looking Out: An Executive View on Enterprise Mobility with Franck Delorme
Welcome to the latest edition of Inside Looking Out. This past week, I spoke with Franck DELORME. Why did I put his last name in all caps? That’s because that’s what you do with French last names! Franck is the CEO at Sparus Software, a leading device management solution provider in France. I first spoke with Franck [...] Post CTIA Thoughts
As I was prepping my thoughts for this latest entry, I was looking for an appropriate picture to place along with the commentary. This act made me also read over some of the past entries I made for other CTIA shows. It’s interesting to see some of the titles I had for other post CTIA [...] Planes, Trains, Automobiles – All For Windows Mobile
All I can say is wow. This was one of the most absurd trips I have taken in a long time. The plane take off a little late (not new). The head winds are bad (not new). The plane RUNS OUT OF GAS. That’s new. Landed in LAS as opposed to LAX (I’m convinced the [...] Setting The Record Straight on Windows Mobile
As we all know, Microsoft will be releasing this month its latest version of the Windows Mobile operating system. With that, the web and blogosphere is all atwitter (all puns intended) about what Microsoft is doing, plans on doing or should be doing to improve its maligned mobile OS. Much of the commentary is accretive [...] Carrier Marginalization Part II: Verizon Wireless vs. App Stores
There was much being said in the last 48 hours regarding the rumor that Verizon Wireless had scrapped its plans to offer Palm’s webOS based Pre in early 2010 once its exclusivity to Sprint expires. Then we saw the expected response from Palm itself as it holds the party line to continue offering its devices on [...] Thoughts on Microsoft’s Project Pink
Good morning from beautiful Miami. The weather channel tells me at 6:30 am that it’s already 80 degrees Farenheit…certainly warmer (and more humid) than my Boston home. As I wait to see the sun rise (and get my wake up call), I’ve been catching up on some web reading. If you have been surfing the [...] Palm Is No Longer Developing Windows Mobile Devices
What a week. I just got back this morning from spending some incredibly high quality time with the folks at RIM during their annual analyst event. They were also kind enough to invite us to attend the U2 concert at Rogers Stadium (where the Toronto Blue Jays play). Talk about an impressive event – 70,000 [...] In Search of the Perfect Mobile Platform for Enterprise Mobility
Hello from Canadia…you know, that place where Canadians live. I’m on a personal mission to get everyone to stop calling it Canada because people who live here are not called Canadans. Ha ha, bad joke. I’m actually up North here visiting with the good people at RIM for their analyst event. There’s some really interesting stuff [...] Can FOTA Further Marginalize Carriers?
There’s a new article at Information Week that discusses how Microsoft is planning on providing updates to its mobile OS directly to users, much like Apple, Palm and Google do for their respective OSs. I think this is a great thing, but it made me start to think about how this will impact carriers. FCC Probes: Carriers, Apple…What About App Stores in General?
What a crazy week. Between client calls, internal meetings, a horrible round of golf and finishing up some projects, I have not had the chance to write some thoughts I have had percolating in my brain. The web is all a twitter (can I say that now?) with the news that the FCC will be [...]
