Obviously, tablets are all the rage these days. The iPad is selling like crazy and we’re starting to see more and more Android based tablets, most notably the Samsung Galaxy series.

What Am I Missing On Microsoft’s Tablet Strategy?
Obviously, tablets are all the rage these days. The iPad is selling like crazy and we’re starting to see more and more Android based tablets, most notably the Samsung Galaxy series. There is of course also, RIM’s forthcoming uber-cool PlayBook and there are also a bunch of rumors regarding HP’s plans for a webOS based [...] Operating System Management: The Enterprise Mobility Perspective
There’s a lot of buzz these days around mobile operating systems. Apple recently announced the much anticipated upgrade of iOS 4 to 4.2 which now supports the iPad (yay!!!), and just today, financial advisory firm Jefferies upgraded its position on RIMM from Hold to Buy based upon the company’s new QNX based operating system. Obvisouly, [...] What Defines “Enterprise Readiness” in Mobility?
It’s a rather dreary day here today in Boston. My desktop weather widget is telling me that it’s pretty gray out there. It makes me think about how enterprise mobility is an area full of gray….and in fact, there are few, if any places within our space that are black or white. This whole notion [...] 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 [...] 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 [...] The Chicken or the Egg of Enterprise Mobility: Windows Phone Edition
Ah, the constant mayhem of trying to create the most exciting and dynamic social network for enterprise mobility. Thank goodness I love what I do, because otherwise sometimes I would want to take a break. There are so many things going on that I am dying to talk about, but we’re not ready to announce [...] Dispelling Myths Around Microsoft’s Mobile Strategy
It’s been a bit of a roller coaster ride these days for Microsoft. While the company’s latest earnings report showed impressive results around its Windows and Office cash cows, the numbers were obviously not as strong in “growth” areas, such as search and of course mobile. That said, Microsoft has obviously been incredibly busy the [...] A New Twist On The Complexity of Mobility Management
It’s no big secret that I am very passionate about mobility management. It may not be as sexy as talking about the new features in iPhone 4 (assuming you are not using it with your left hand), but there’s no question – especially if you are visiting this site – that mobility management is an [...] How Microsoft Could Beat Google and Apple in Enterprise Mobility
Frenetic. Absolutely frenetic is the only word I would use to describe what has been going on in the last few days. There are so many amazing things that will be coming up from The Enterprise Mobility Foundation in the next few months. Stay tuned for some really exciting stuff. Speaking of exciting stuff (other [...] Will We Say In Five Years That “Mobile Killed The Desktop Star”?
Chalk this up as THE worst metaphor ever between songs, expressions and mobility EVER. I’ve been noodling on an idea for a few weeks now, and finally had the “random” component come to me today. Remember the song from The Buggles called “Video Killed The Radio Star“? Five or so years after MTV was created, [...]
