Welcome to the latest edition of Inside Looking Out. This past week, I spoke with Alan Masarek. Alan is the CEO at
QuickOffice. If you've been in this space for a while, then QuickOffice needs no introduction - they are the leading third party provider of MS Office compatibility solutions for mobile devices.
I've known Alan for about 18 months now, and while we do keep in touch, I must admit, it had been a while since I had spoken to him last. He and I got to sit down last week and talk about a broad array of subjects.

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 as many carriers as possible, only to then have financial analysts throw in
their $.02 on the matter. I think most of the commentary thus far has missed the greater issue. Carriers vs. Platform Manufacturer App Stores.

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 web recently, you have probably seen an increased number of articles on the often rumored Project Pink from Microsoft. Should Microsoft develop its own Windows phone?

Welcome to the latest edition of Inside Looking Out. This past week, I spoke with Melanie Gray. Melanie is the CEO at
Movero Technology. Movero provides organizations managed services for enterprise mobility - and you know how much I am keen on that space!
I've had the pleasure of knowing Melanie for a couple of years now, and I have always been impressed by how she understands the needs of end user organizations. Read after the jump to see what she thinks about our little world of enterprise mobility.

There's I just found this morning on InformationWeek that discusses the vision of Apple creating a cloud computing environment for enterprise mobility.
Now mind you, I have written on more than one occasion about the merits of mobile cloud computing, but this article provides an interesting twist on the idea.

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 people all singing "Where The Streets Have No Name" and other famous songs.
So while I was having fun up North, Palm had its quarterly earnings call and made some pretty important announcements.

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 going on that I will talk about (said with a Canadian accent) in a later post.
Until then, if you're not already subscribed to FierceMobileIT, then you can read after the jump the latest article I wrote for them as I continue my search for the best mobile platform.

Welcome to the latest edition of Inside Looking Out. This past week, I spoke with Steve Brumer. Steve is the Founder and CEO at Wireless Rain. Wireless Rain was established in 2003 as a National Value-Added Master Dealer, wireless product distributor and solution provider.
I originally met Steve when I joined the editorial advsiory board of Mobile Enterprise Magazine. Those of you who know me know I don't say this often: I was instantly impressed by Steve's real world knowledge and intellect on our space. For better or for worse, this guy's been there and done that, and boy does he know the who's who.
