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 [...] Working From ‘Phone’ – Beyond Disbelief
Mobile-Only: Week 2 “You are doing what?” “You are crazy.” “You won’t be able to pull off an entire year of work from your phone.” These are just a few of the ‘doubting Thomas’ responses (along with lots of positive ones) I received this past week since publicly announcing going mobile-only. These weren’t malicious responses, [...] 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. [...] Creating a Satisfied Customer – What The Carriers Need To Do Now
The recent news from AT&T about the end of unlimited wireless data came as no surprise, but still raised my hackles more than a bit. Sure, only Sprint still offers unlimited data, but on a more limited network (in terms of coverage and capacity, anyway, along with a still-shaky corporate image). OK, let’s be fair: [...] Social Networking: Complete Waste of Time, and the Future of Enterprise Communications
Who was it that said that life is full of contradictions? Today’s topic is indeed one of those, at least at first glance. I’m a guy who doesn’t have a Facebook account. I do have a Twitter account, but I don’t use it. I’m on Linkedin because I thought it might be a good idea [...] Wireless: My Wish List
‘Tis the season of wonder and wishing, after all, so here goes. At the top of my wish list for wireless has always been having not just one, but rather multiple electromagnetic spectra, kind of like having more channels, but in a very big way. Since we’re going to have to wait for the next [...] The Death Knell for RIM?
RIM announced Tuesday that they will not be releasing PlayBook OS 2.0 until at least February 2012, when they will be “confident we have fully met the expectations of our developers, enterprise customers and end-users,” according to David Smith, SVP of BlackBerry PlayBook at RIM. And what will they do to fully meet these expectations? [...] Interop Fall 2011: The Big Issues Now
I’ve had the privilege of Chairing the Wireless and Mobility Track at the Interop conferences for some time now. Interop Spring, held in Las Vegas, is the largest enterprise IT event in the world, and the New York event, Interop Fall, while smaller, is in no way less intense than its big brother. In planning [...] Research in Motion – The Options Now
RIM, the maker of the popular (well, historically, anyway; read on) BlackBerry line of products, and one of the firms that essentially defined mobility as we know it today, has been all over the financial news for months. The company’s stock has fallen dramatically (it was around 145 only a little more than a year [...] Is Your Next Notebook a Tablet?
How many mobile devices do you want to buy, carry, and manage? A handset is a given, but can a tablet really replace a notebook? Will the huge (and increasing) diversity of tablet devices and operating environments give new life to the notebook, or are we in the early stages of an epic transition that [...]
