Learn how web browsing habits are changing among BYODers in the enterprise and why a strategy shift may be in order to accommodate for this change.

Enterprise mobility promises to play a huge role in 2013. Learn which technologies are on the rise that will help your company manage the top trends in the new year.

BYOD-friendly IT departments can expect increased demand for iOS 6 and Android 4.1 support as the two mobile operating systems compete for mobile worker market share.

For enterprises, especially those that have jumped head-first into bring your own device (BYOD), the fundamental question remains whether this year's pre-order bonanza stems from bleeding edge buyers or John and Mary employees who will be demanding corporate support by September's end.

On my smartphone, I have applications for managing my tasks, appointments and documents, creating my shopping lists, a flashlight, games and quizzes, videos, educational tools for my little one, etc. Recently, based on my colleague’s recommendation, I downloaded another app Beat the Traffic for easing my commute to the office. The smartphone surge has led to an ‘app culture’ surge.

Tablets are the current rage in the enterprise mobility space. Businesses are trying to figure out how to use tablets on offense by deploying them to field-facing personnel and as a platform for new types of mobile applications.

In the world of computers there is a pretty easy way to tell when a technology has “arrived”:  it becomes a target of hackers.  You can just look at the recent history of computers, from email to web pages, from DNS to the World Wide Web (remember when we used to call it that?), Microsoft Windows to Wi-Fi—the technologies that become the mainstays of business and consumer markets quickly become targets of hackers.

Greetings from 35,000 feet over the United States.  As I sit here with my Android tablet playing a movie (The Social Network, of course) and my iPad on my lap, I can't help but thinking about last night watching Tron Legacy with my kids.   They called it the Grid and whether you call it the Grid, the Net, the Web, or the Cloud I am constantly amazed at what we've created.  

I made a comment a few weeks ago in a meeting that I thought my BlackBerry Bold 9700 was still a great device.  I was promptly corrected by one high ranking individual.  I’ve thought about the comment and reaction on and off since then, and I wanted to clarify, to perhaps put some context around the statement.  Usually when I feel this way it means I’m about to dig a deeper hole.  I tip my hat to getting dirty.

They always had their heads down looking like they were doing something important. Hey, what’s more important than reading their email while walking to the break room?
