Introduction Femtocells are all the rage. These tiny cellular radios promise to improve in-building cellular coverage and are primarily targeted at the home user. However, some vendors are now building enterprise femtocells. Should you consider femtocell deployment in order to improve your cellular coverage? This article identifies the key questions you should ask before you buy a [...] Enterprises often ask me about the technology solutions that will help them mitigate the risks associated with supporting the iPhone. Most of the conversations inevitably start with the same questions, discuss the same answers, but, interestingly, lead to different conclusions. As I contemplate why this occurs, I am struck with the notion that when enterprises ask [...] Introduction This post continues a three part series on maximizing ROI for mobile applications. Part 1 explained why mobile application development is so difficult and introduced three common deployment approaches. Part 2 discussed the pros and cons of each technique. This post provides specific tips to help enterprises maximize their mobile application return on investment (ROI). Tips to [...] Introduction Enterprises use many different approaches to develop applications on mobile devices. This post continues a three part series on maximizing return on investment (ROI) for mobile application development. Part 1 explained why mobile application development is so difficult and introduced three common deployment approaches. This post discusses the pros and cons of each approach. [...] Introduction Thousands of ingenious, and sometimes frivolous, Apple iPhone applications have inspired developers to imagine new enterprise mobile applications. Inspiration is nice. But in this challenging economic environment, enterprises need to ask themselves how deployment of mobile applications will solve practical business problems and how they can maximize the return on investment (ROI) when developing mobile applications. This [...] Individuals increasingly work from nontraditional office environments and expect to use their mobile phones wherever they work. At the same time that the mobile workforce is growing, enterprises are deploying Internet Protocol (IP) Telephony (IPT) and unified communications (UC) solutions. IPT systems provide new capabilities to virtualize communications across the enterprise, breaking the linkage between [...] I think that we are seeing the emergence of a new product category that expands the market for mobile computing (i.e., netbooks & laptops coexist) rather than a new product category that replaces the laptop. Netbooks are great for mobile computing and communication but their small disk size, limited internal memory, and relatively slow processing [...] Apple announced the iPhone 3Gs and release 3.0 today. The iPhone 3Gs will be available in about a week. The 16 GB version is $199, the 32 GB version is $299. The older iPhone 3G price drops to $99. Release 3.0 is a free upgrade. Here is my take: What I like Hardware encryption [...] I normally focus my blog entries on wireless and mobility issues, but today I must digress and tell you about my wicked bad Verizon adventure. For those of you who are not from the greater Boston area, the word “wicked” is local vernacular for “very”, as in, “The new Star Trek movie was wicked good!”

Sure enough, when I dialed my number, I was connected to a very nice lady at Caldwell Banker (Roxanne) who had been receiving all of my phone calls.
