The insight was that the intranet portal was not the whole portal - the PC itself was. The intranet part was only one aspect of accessing one's personal work area, but the apps and files on each person's pc varied a lot. The aha was when we pointed at the hardware device - the laptop or desktop pc - and said, "*this* is the front door to the office." The iPhone is v2 of this. And now we have a term to describe it: mashup. Only a matter of time before employees will start expecting to have the same level of control over the work PCs as they have over their iPhones.

I had not thought of it quite this way. I use my iPhone as a phone when I travel, which is 15 to 20% time. The other 80% is consumed by all the things you mention. Interesting post ..
