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.
The new user interface relies heavily on the Zune user experience, but adds a broad array of real-time connectivity through "Hubs" and "Tiles." Boy did this get my curiosity going.

So I admit, I have been pretty bad in the last few weeks in terms of regularly posting thoughts and musings on this site. The truth is, I have been very much caught up with both some professional and personal matters. But tonight, I came back from a networking event that I was so stunned by that I picked up my laptop as soon as I got home.

While I write and speak only about wireless and mobility as it pertains to the benefits these technologies can deliver to the enterprise, I must admit to being a geek who enjoys reading up on a wide array of technologies. As such, I read many of the popular tech sites and regular follow the articles of the key columnists. John C. Dvorak over at PC Magazine is one of my favorite columnists...he usually has some pretty insightful things to share, with the occasional sprinkle of a comment to stir the pot. Well, he certainly succeeded at stirring the pot with me on this recent article "The iPhone Is No Desktop."

I just stumbled across an interesting article over at PC World talking about Motorola's forthcoming enterprise mobility plans. I actually had the pleasure of meeting Motorola's Brian Havener at CTIA who shared the information you can read in the article, as well as other forthcoming plans that I can't share because of all those crazy NDA rules. Regardless, the information that has been disclosed addresses some of the two biggest issues that have been on my mind for a long time for both Good and Symbol. 1) How does Good (and others for that matter) compete with Microsoft when Redmond provides push email solutions for free and 2) How does Motorola's enterprise division find a way out of the consumer division's grey cloud?

Unlike most people who actually have social lives, I spent the majority of this past weekend in front of my computers trying to understand why my home WiFi network was all messed up. Although I had had everything working well for some time, my router decided to give me more than its usual headaches. The whole process in fact made me question where we stand with the 802.11n standard.

Being the loving husband that I am, I try to make sure I take care of my fair share of the chores around the house. Whether it’s doing the laundry, putting away the dishes or what have you, it’s all part of not having large enough bank accounts to have people do it for you. A couple of days ago, my wife and I went to the supermarket to fill our barren refrigerator. I was pleasantly surprised to see how enterprise mobility had made another inroad into this industry.

Although I am a self-proclaimed technology geek, I must admit that I don't think about enterprise mobility ALL the time. That said, I do always enjoy the opportunity to read articles on other topics and find inspiration regarding some of the key issues that might apply to enterprise mobility. I think John Dvorak at PC Magazine hit the jackpot in his latest article. One of the first statements of his latest column said:
"How do you really measure gains or losses in personal productivity? I would argue that you can't."
Let me think of the million and one ways this might apply to enterprise mobility.

Surprise, surprise, surprise. Nokia decided to do something rather interesting today by announcing it plans to acquire NAVTEQ. This deal doesn't completely surprise me at the abstract level, but some of the details do.
