As Mobile World Congress continues in Barcelona, the world of mobility is all aflutter regarding Microsoft's announcement of Windows Phone 7 Series (I am still struggling with that name). Fresh off the heels of that news, we have coming today from our friends in Waterloo news of their own. It's not surprising that they would have their own big announcement because most if not all platform vendors want to one-up each other, especially at an event such as Mobile World Congress. I'm digressing. Research in Motion announced today they will soon be offering the BES (The BlackBerry Enterprise Server) to all...for free. Well, sort of...

Today has been one heck of a busy day. If you read this blog, you know that today, Microsoft officially announced Windows Phone 7 Series (gotta love Redmondian branding), its brand new mobile platform geared to getting it back "in the game" and more aggressively compete with the likes of Apple, Google and Palm.

Madness. Sheer Madness. No I am not talking about the murder mystery. I'm talking instead about the state of my life post full time employment. While still not able to share anything about what I am planning next, I can offer you this. Having a full time job is less busy and stressful than what my days have been like since.

I recognize the fact that I have no life.

The iPad is now six days old...sort of...seeing how it hasn't come out yet. That said, there has been obviously much commentary on the new device from Cupertino. One of
the more interesting pieces I read this week came from Ted Schadler over at Forrester. I haven't had the pleasure of meeting him yet, but his insight tells me I need to.
