I’m not sure what people really expect, or want. I guess that’s what’s so special about the launch of a new iPhone, Apple seems to know what we [...]

It’s funny–my first CTIA conference I went to in the mid-1990′s had kind of a start-up feel to it. There weren’t a lot of big name companies there, not in the way we know the Nokias or Motorolas of today.There were quite a few industry exhibitors with speacilized products–cable seals or cellsite shelters, that you [...]

There was a lot of excitement in the air this week, or at least on the Internet, about the release of iOS4 to upgrade the iPhone 3G and 3Gs (and oh, yeah, the new iPhone 4 availability to those that pre-ordered!).

I’ve been hearing from more companies that are supporting iPhone in the enterprise. Last year we reversed our position and although we don’t consider it the strongest enterprise platform compared to RIM, Symbian, and yes, even Windows Mobile, it is good enough.
