I attended Microsoft’s TechEd 2010 conference in New Orleans a few weeks ago, and the most notable moment was they keynote presentation on the first day. During the presentation they had one of their head dorks come up and give a quick demo of Windows Mobile 7. It looked great! They’ve got some great ideas for usability as far as layout and organizing the different functions, I was really impressed during the keynote and I wanted to see more. » Read more: Windows Mobile 7

June 23rd, 2010Another Blackberry Outage!
December 28th, 2009I’ve been a Blackberry user and BES administrator since 2005 and while there have been a few bumps in the road over the years, nothing has ever been so bad as to question the platform’s integrity as a service for the enterprise. From Sales, to Operations, to IT, these devices offer the access, reliability, and security that our business needs. Our people have become so accustomed to being connected 24/7 that they depend on it. Heavily. With our BES and RoveIT Mobile Admin implementation, I’m able to take care of a lot of issues without being at my desk, in the building, or even in the same state as my employer.

My battery is running dry so I’ll keep it short, and follow up later when I’ve had a chance to run this app through some more.
Is that the news in your pocket?
September 19th, 2008These days it seems like everyone’s got a BlackBerry, iPhone or other data-enabled mobile device. The whole internet in your pocket! For those of us in IT these devices can provide real business value, enabling us to communicate via email, IM, text, and phone no matter where we are. The actual value though, is all relative to how you use it or as in many cases, don’t use it.
In a blog I posted yesterday, I wrote about how easy it is to fall behind in IT if you don’t put forth some effort to keep up. With the whole internet available on your phone, you now have the opportunity to ‘keep up’ even if you’re not at your computer. But how could I possibly manage navigating so many tech sites on my slow little phone? It’s tedious enough to check 10 news sites a day on my giant monitor at work, nevermind a 2″ phone LCD, so to be honest I don’t think I’d use my phone all that much for reading tech news. » Read more: Is that the news in your pocket?
