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.

Now that the political dust has finally settled (it even made the news on the BBC) in my fair Commonwealth (for some reason, we're not a State), I can now get back to fully focusing on scouring the webosphere to see what people are saying about enterprise mobility. I was sent a link yesterday by a friend and colleague that I found quite interesting.
The author of the blog entry is someone whom I respect and find to be highly knowledgeable in the world of enterprise mobility. That said, I simply can not agree with his hypothesis.

Hello from non frozen San Francisco. Although this weekend was very bad for me in terms of the NFL playoffs, I did at least get to spend some time in one of my favorite cities in the country. While taking the public transportation system back from Fisherman's Wharf, I started thinking about a conversation I had this past week with an industry colleague who had called me to talk about my five predictions for enterprise mobility in 2010. This guy's pretty sharp, so I always enjoy discussing trends with him.

Second business day of the year and a second blog entry. See? I am trying to keep my promise of more frequent posts. I'm sure you saw today that Google announced its very own device: the Google Nexus One. The first (of many) Android device(s) that will be developed and directly branded by Google itself. This was no huge secret. Engadget had a first look at it recently, and Google had made no attempts to keep this hush hush.
Obviously, there has been a lot of press about this announcement, but little (if any) perspective on the implications for enterprise mobility. Until now...

While I was at the Mobile Business Conference at Interop, I did my usual networking. A great way to do that is to attend the panels that have "people of interest" and introduce yourself after they are done speaking. There were many people I wanted to introduce myself to this year, including a representative from Samsung...you know, the folks who recently announced a new smartphone OS.
You can see after the jump what I recently penned for FierceMobileIT on Bada.

The last 10 days have been pretty rough. I haven't been able to sit down for more than five minutes at a time because yours truly threw out his back last week and is still dealing with it. I'm actually off to the Mobile Enterprise Magazine Executive Summit on Wednesday and PRAYING that I will be able to sit in a plane for six hours without dying. But, as usual, I digress. There's been a lot of press in the last couple of days that has me disturbed...nay, annoyed that makes me think of Rodney King's (in)famous quote: "Can't we all just get along?"

The weekend here in Boston was strange, to say the least. As usual, the weather forcasters are paid well to be completely wrong (I wish I had that job). Yesterday, I was watching my beloved New England Patriots embarass their opponents from Tennessee in the snow. Yes, snow in October. That's just wrong. And then the commercial came on the screen. iDon't believe .

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.

Ah yes, time for another pseudo/quasi non-sequitor at your favorite little enterprise mobility watering hole. This time, the quote that comes to mind comes from Mr. Samuel Clemens....a.k.a Mark Twain, when he said "The rumors of my death are greatly exaggerated."
Now without ever suggesting I could ever write the next great american "novel" (on enterprise mobility), nor ever suggesting that Palm is "dying" (we know I don't believe that), let's look at some of market dynamics around how this makes (no) sense.

I love to read. I usually don't read novels because that would require me to be able to focus on a string of words for more than 10 minutes. I love magazines, most notably The Economist. Business Week is certainly up there in terms of general quality. So there, I found a wonderfully interesting article on Symbian and what it needs to do to get back in the game. Back in the game? It has 80% market share you'll say.
