<description><![CDATA[Businesses must develop a focused strategy, provide highly usable apps and build a robust IT infrastructure in order to take full advantage of mobile technology.   -  
A few years ago, it would have been next to impossible to
imagine a bank without branches or an insurance company without walls. However,
these days its difficult to keep up with the velocity of change, particularly
in the mobile arena.

<description><![CDATA[The more mobile devices that enter an enterprise, the worse its information security gets. A study by the security firm Check Point shows the rising risks imposed on companies by a flood of iPhones, iPads, and other smart devices. Part of the problem lies with the security of the devices themselves, part with their portable nature, and part with the habits and focus of users. Still, mobile usage seems likely to become even more pervasive in the years ahead, so companies need to get their acts together on the next wave of security procedures See also Android's Security Disaster.   -  ...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Tech Envy has come to work. As more people use their own smartphones and tablets on the job, jealousy over cool devices is on the rise, according to a survey from Captivate Networks. The consumerization of IT is widespread but not evenly distributed, creating haves and have-nots where uniform, company-issued gear once reigned. Says Scott Marden, research director at Captivate Network, &quot;Professionals want what they don't have, whether it's an upgrade to an existing device or the next new technology.&quot; The survey also looks at the pervasiveness of smartphones in our everyday lives. More than 580 professionals took part in the research. For more, click here.   -  ...]]></description>

<item><title>12 Offbeat iPhone Apps</title>

<link>http://www.baselinemag.com/c/a/Mobile-and-Wireless/12-Offbeat-iPhone-Apps-136599/?kc=rss</link>
<description><![CDATA[When Apple opened up the iPhone to third-party applications in 2007, it didnt take long for the bizarre ideas to start coming in. Apple has banned certain apps out of competitive interests, and others for reasons of value, relevance and taste. Remember the $999.99 app called “I Am Rich” that simply displayed a shiny red gem on the screen? It reportedly had eight buyers before getting shut down. But for the most part, an unbridled spirit of creativity is encouraged out there in the third-party development world, and that inevitably results in products that fall outside of the mainstream of business usage, although there are some funny ones with actual utility. Ultimately, the following apps speak to the unsinkable spirit of invention – not to mention our obsession with pop culture and love of fun. We found the following offbeat apps through websites including Geeksugar.com and Weirdworm.com. Fortunately, none of them will set you back $1,000.   -  ...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[It may not have been the mythical, magical iPhone 5 that the media had been speculating about for so long that it seemed a sure thing – but Apple's iPhone 4S, announced on Oct. 4 and available on Oct. 14, is nothing to scoff at. With a faster processor, a superior camera and the ability to operate on any network around the globe – not to mention Siri, the voice-activated personal assistant application --  the iPhone 4S could be the iPhone that finally killed the (already-ailing) BlackBerry. So far consumers have shown that they like what Apple is doing. More than a million of the smartphones were ordered in the first 24 hours it was available. But will enterprises take the bait? Here we take a look at some of the iPhone 4S's new features and how businesses will benefit.   -  ...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[iPad is dominating the enterprise market, accounting for an overwhelming proportion of business tablet activations, with Android tablets yet to make a dent in the corporate sector. As a result, iPad is transforming the way organizations work. Numerous iPad applications allow workers to do a lot on the lightweight computers – and workers want more. A book, iPad in the Enterprise: Developing and Deploying Business Applications (Wiley/available now), looks at the wonder-tablet from a business user's perspective. Author Nathan Clevenger talks about tapping the consumer-friendly qualities of the iPad to fuel strategic success. “iPads are now in the hands of workers on virtually every level of company in almost every industry,” Clevenger writes, “and users are beginning to demand line-of-business applications to help them be more productive and efficient from wherever they are.” Below are ten applications highlighted in the book that address some critical functions.

<description><![CDATA[Most companies come up short in terms of equipping workers with the mobile tools they need to succeed. Mobile devices and applications are commonly perceived as productivity boosters, if not outright necessities, but a Sybase survey shows that few professionals think their employers do a good job of creating a mobile-friendly environment. Survey participants also give low grades to their IT departments with respect to the management of these devices and apps. &quot;Enterprises need to broaden and accelerate their enterprise mobility strategies,&quot; says Dan Ortega, senior director of product marketing at Sybase. &quot;Employees are beginning to have a much greater understanding of mobility, resulting in increased expectations from IT.” One possible solution: company-managed app stores, which seem to be gaining greater acceptance within many enterprises. More than 500 employees in the U.S. and the U.K. took part in the research. For more about the survey, click here. Additional research was taken from  this report.   -  ...]]></description>
