The rain has finally stopped in Boston. In March alone, we have gotten about half the rain fall we typically get the entire year. I was actually watching the nightly news from France 2 (a good way for me to keep up my French) last night and saw how there had also been recently some heavy rain falls in various regions in France. It's good to see there's no global warming.

Please note, the original title of this post was going to be "Should Windows Phone Learn From Android?" but I chose otherwise ;-) The Interweb has a fascinating article today on News.com penned by Matt Asay on the topic of how Microsoft should learn from Google and the Android community in terms of how to make Windows Phone 7 Series a success. I thought it was a great article. So great that it gets to be the latest article to get the infamous "Crack" tag on this site.

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.

Microsoft Corporation is hosting this week its MIX conference in Las Vegas, the annual event geared towards web designers and developers. This year's event is highly anticipated for two reasons: 1) the company is showing off an early version of the Internet Explorer 9 browser (as part of the Browser Wars 2.0) and 2) it is discussing in greater detail how developers will be able to create applications for its new Windows Phone 7 Series platform which had been announced this past February at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.

Ah yes....a continued dearth of posts on this site. No need for excuses, let's cut to the chase. I read this morning a very interesting post over at Information Week called "
Palm's Survival At Stake." That's certainly an intriguing title for an article, and of course made me click on the link.

I start today's entry thinking of Samuel Clemens, a.k.a. Mark Twain with his famous quote: "Rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated." Almost two weeks with not a peep or barely a tweet from me. Even on vacation, this would never happen. Heck, when I was horribly ill at the end of last year, I didn't miss posting for this long.
My new job is making me work so many hours that I haven't frankly had a moment to think, never mind but those thoughts to keyboard. I did decide to take a day off yesterday, which allowed me to pause and reflect on some of the news out there regarding Windows Phone 7 Series and its future impact on the enterprise.

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.
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.

It's snowing today in Boston. This year has actually been rather easy in terms of snowfall in New England this year...certainly unlike what other cities like Washington D.C. have been dealing with in the last 10 days (I understand they now have over 3ft or 1m of snow on the ground!). Taking a quick break from today's busy schedule I came across this rather interesting article at GigaOM talking about why wireless carriers should care about customer care.
It's interesting to see this topic come up again, especially in the context of how T-Mobile has for so long heralded its customer care, while until recently Sprint has suffered much criticism for its "less than optimal" quality of care. The article did however make me think of one thing.

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. So, as I take a break from thinking about the next phase of my career in enterprise mobility, what better way to relax than to go read up on enterprise mobility. Yes people. I recognize the fact that I have no life.
