Milja's Mobile Musings

There is nothing quite like the buzz of an acquisition to get me energized about being in the mobile market. The first quarter of the year didn’t disappoint with several acquisitions of smaller players by big companies. Now, as we are only days into Q2, the pace is already quickening with yesterday’s news of SAP’s [...]

This week, the first ‘Consumerization of IT in the Enterprise’ conference (also known as CITE) was held in San Francisco. The event brought together hundreds of IT execs and companies who share an interest in exploring how consumer technology is relevant in the enterprise. The week was earth shattering in a few ways, not the [...]

I recently had the pleasure of escaping the cold north and enjoying a week’s vacation on a Caribbean cruise. Perhaps it is telling that I specifically chose a cruise as a way to force myself to spend a little bit of time away from my mobile phone. When the kids learned that I wouldn’t have [...]

The BYOD topic has popped up in a number of sessions and is a great segue into our second blog on the BYOD invasion.
