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.

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.

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.

I know, I know...a HUGELY inflammatory title for a blog post, but forgive me. Living in Massachusetts, I have been bombarded for the last 4 days by calls and advertisements for the senatorial election that will decide who will take over the seat that Ted Kennedy held for so long. I am sick and tired of the calls and ads. That, combined with the fact that we should instead be focusing on the fact that it's Martin Luther King Day here in the US, makes it for a slow news day in the world of enterprise mobility. However, I did read
a fascinating blog post from someone who purports to have seen and played with Windows Mobile 7.

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...

It's snowing again today in Boston. It seems as if it's been snowing all year. Actually, technically, that is a true statement. The weather, temperature and season, have made it a wonderful time to stay home with family and friends and reflect not just on the year that has passed, but also all the wonderful things in store for us at the dawn of this new year.
As has become my own tradition, on the first business day of 2010, I would like to share with you my five predictions for enterprise mobility for the new year.

There was some pretty interesting news coming across the web today. As originally reported by Windows Mobile Poweruser and MSMobiles.com, Microsoft UK head of mobility Phil Moore is quoted as saying that we won't see Windows Mobile 7 until Q4 2010. Ugh.
This is clearly not a good thing for the Windows Mobile ecosystem, but let's see if we can take both a glass half full and half empty perspective on this news.

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.

Hello from somewhere near Stratford Connecticut. I am on the Acela Express, you know the train known in other parts of the world as the TGV that takes 3h45 to get to NYC from Boston. Did you know that the very same train will go from Paris to Bruxelles (same distance) in 75 minutes? Go Amtrak! The good news is that the extra 150 minutes afford me the opportunity to reflect on today’s sessions and some of the meetings I had with enterprise mobility vendors.
