Another rainy day here in Boston today. I can't complain really, it's far better than snow. While having my morning coffee I was thinking about
an article I read earlier this morning over at Information Week, called "Global CIO: Will The Mobile Tipping Point Bury You?" Although not what I was expecting from a content perspective (it started going on "tangents" about tablet PCs and making sure your company's website was mobiel friendly), it did make me ponder another tipping point.

The wait and hype are now over. The Apple iPad is now official and real. Steve Jobs is alleged to have said something to the effect that this was the greatest thing he had ever worked on. Why is it that I can't see how this is anything more than a mega iPod Touch?
So first off, it does look beautiful. So does the HP slate that Steve Ballmer showed off at CES. The purported 10 hour battery life is rather impressive. That said, I am at a loss as to why this device is compelling...especially when Mr. Jobs described it as "Way better than a laptop."

One of the most compelling parts of working in the tech industry as an independent pundit is that you get to speak to a wide variety of vendors and have frank, candid conversations. The tone and depth of these conversations is such that, in all likelihood, they would not have them with others – particularly their competitors.
While I have the good fortune of being able to do so, on a nearly daily basis, I will admit to you that I sometimes feel as if I have an “unfair” advantage, especially when talking about enterprise mobility in the healthcare industry.

CES has been an interesting event thus far, in many respects. Google's Nexus One, while not announced at CES, I will lump in to this time series. Then you have all the new eBooks from various companies. For what it's worth, one can argue that eBooks are the baby brothers of tablet PCs. As we speak, Microsoft CEO is speaking at CES about, among other things, new PCs and a "slate" PC from HP. I find the timing of these announcements interesting, especially with Apple's forthcoming "iSlate" or whatever the heck they're eventually going to call it. But where does this fit in to the world of enterprise mobility?

Hello from New York City and the Mobile Business Expo conference! As you might know, I interviewed Russ McGuire from Sprint for the Inside Looking Out Series a couple of weeks ago. If you’re not already checking out his blog on a (at least semi) regular basis, then let me tell you that you should.
One of his most recent entries was, candidly, one of the most refreshing carrier perspectives I have seen in a long time.

I am now back home from the Mobile Enterprise Executive Summit that was held in Los Angeles last week. I'm clearly not as young as I used to be, because taking a two day trip to the west coast now takes a toll on me in a way it wouldn't have 10 years ago when I was travelling all across Europe every month.
For those of you who missed the event, the "net net" is that it was a great event. Great networking, even better content and for me personally, a truly entertaining golf scramble (our group barely knew which end of the club to hold, but I digress). The opening keynote of the event, however, truly reminded me (and everyone attending) why enterprise mobility matters today.

I wish I could say that the senior level management at Gartner was reading my blog on a daily basis (and learning from it), but I could never be so presumptuous. I bring this up because last year, Gartner's list did not include mobility, which suprised me.
Gartner did however publish its Top 10 strategic technologies for 2010 today. This year, they included mobile APPLICATIONS.
