Mobile Only: Week 10 Benjamin Robbins, an EMF member, is spending the next year working solely from a single mobile device. Each week he shares his thoughts and experience with us on what it means to be mobile-only. Project collaboration is a pivotal exercise for enterprise computing. Organizations will often put a lot of initial [...] Apps vs Crapplications Part 2
Brian Madden recently wrote an excellent article on how to argue about html vs native apps as well as touch versus keyboard/mouse and made some great points. It is definitely worth a read. We do diverge a little bit in our thinking though when he gets to features vs focus in apps. He quotes me [...] Can You Hear Me Now? – Collaborative Mobile Communication

However, as with many of the topics I have been covering, the capabilities of the [...] Mobile Office Apps – I Have One Simple Request
Mobile Only: Week 5 Spell check – is it too much to ask?! Seriously. I don’t feel like its a big request but perhaps it is. OK, so I admit it, I am a terrible speller. As far as I am concerned, the best feature in the history of computing is the red squiggly line [...] BYOD, The Secret Sauce

Brian has graciously allowed us to share those thoughts with you on this site. There are a lot of articles floating [...] 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, [...]
