Observations and Conclusions From the Apple iPad 2 Launch Day Queue: What Went Wrong?
12/03/11 18:59
I had some time to make observations and think about the Manhattan Village Apple Store in Manhattan Beach, CA Apple iPad 2 queue at the yesterday while I stood in line. I didn’t arrive at the parking lot until 4:00 Pacific time and was gambling that Apple would have deeper inventory at their flagship stores than Wal-Mart, Best Buy, Target, or Fry’s. I walked around Macy’s, turned the corner, walked the depth of the building, down the stairs, across the street, and joined the end of the queue to begin what I projected would be a couple hour endeavor. Shortly after arriving three other gentleman and I began chatting about the day, why we were all here, and our opinions of AT&T and Verizon Wireless vis-a-via a WiFi enabled unit with a mobile hotspot on the aforementioned carriers in addition to Sprint and T-Mobile.

Memo on Mobile Device Management
19/06/08 11:28
I thought I would share this memo since it addresses two distinctly different views of mobile device management. The text is unedited which may cause some reader confusion since assumptions were originally made based on the intended audience. Even though this document solely references a GSM/WCDMA network the core concepts are the same for a CDMA network.
Assumption: Mobile Device Management (MDM) has different meanings and definitions depending on the audience. MDM has two broad categories that are distinctly different but do ultimately converge. This memo assumes the empirical truth that MDM is inevitable.

Last week I visited London for the Infosecurity Europe 2008 Conference at the Grand Hall, Olympia. The show is billed as:
“Infosecurity Europe is Europe's number one, Information Security event. Addressing today's strategic and technical issues in an unrivalled education programme and showcasing the most diverse range of new and innovative products and services from over 300 of the top suppliers on the floor of the show.”
Infosecurity Europe was an opportunity to view the information security industry from the vendor and traditional IT perspective versus the mobile industry’s normal venues of CTIA and The Mobile World Congress. These two events and The Smartphone Summit have the usual wireless centric vendors versus what I was hoping would be a more holistic approach to enterprise information security. I was surprised by both what I saw and what was conspicuously absent. Read More...
