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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Anyone who follows Microsoft knows Mary Jo Foley and her organization
Directions of Microsoft. She never ceases to amaze me in terms of how she has her finger directly on the pulse of whatever is going on in Redmond. She's also a prolific writer and often pens a column at ZD-Net. Today, she had a really interesting article about Microsoft's lack of presence at CES, in terms of Windows Mobile.

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...
