Here’s a great article by Phillip Redman posted on Gartner Inc’s blog, in which he explains that it’s a good idea for enterprises to support multiple devices and operating systems, since as he puts, “…in reality, there is no alternative.” Here’s the entire article (or click the link in the previous sentence to view the original). Great insight Phillip!

Last week I spent a lot of time with user clients going over some of their main business issues relating to mobile networks and the enterprise. At each meeting, the most burning question was not related specifically to technology, but how to manage the ever expanding number of mobile and wireless platforms and services. In the past year, in North America, U.S. businesses have seen an influx of devices, especially the iPhone. iPhone, though not a corporate standard is a mile wide, but an inch deep at U.S. companies. But adoption is growing and iOS4, and the ability to manage it better will only increase the pressure CIOs feel to support this platform. BlackBerry, the ultimate managed device, is under attack from at least two fronts–iPhone and later this year Android platforms. And decreasing BlackBerry marketshare in smartphones only proves the point (see: Market Share: Mobile Devices and Smartphones by Region and Country, 1Q10). Though the vast majority of companies want to support multiple platforms and service adoption strategies, they are struggling with policy and best practices.
I believe it makes sense for most companies to support a diversity of devices, since in reality, there is no alternative. No standard OS means no standard device. But it is key to create a framework of support and define the IT and user requirements for devices and platforms. Companies should review our managed diversity framework for guidance on this (see: Use Managed Diversity to Support Endpoint Devices, May 2010). Most companies should continue to support corporate liability in order to retain control over security, costs and the future direction of mobility in the enterprise (see: Companies Should Keep Control of Cellular Users Through Corporate Liability, January 2010) and develop policy that helps guide users and the company in supporting mobility.
The good news, there is an ever expanding set of enterprise tools and services to help companies manage mobility. As service price continues to decline, as device and network capability continues to increase–it is inevitable that for many business users, the mobile device will become the primary communications tool, if it hasn’t already. Now is the time to acknowledge and manage it.
Okay users, so here’s the deal: AT&T Mobile to Any Mobile means that if you have the feature, you can call from your AT&T phone to ANY other MOBILE phone and it will pull from your MTM bucket (a change from pulling from your peak bucket of minutes). This is a good thing because it can reduce your peak minutes thereby allowing you to reduce your plan minutes thereby reducing your cost.

Verizon has now announced NEW data rates for tablets, hotspots, note/netbooks for US subscribers.
Although not much has changed, one thing of particular significance is the fact that Verizon is now including a dedicated mobile 3G hotspot with all $35 and up data plans.
This is great news for users who use over 1GB of data on their tablets or netbooks and notebooks. Unfortunately, the base 1GB data plan ($20) does not include the mobile hotspot.
It is important to keep in mind that any devices that are connected via mobile hotspot contribute to your total data usage per billing cycle.
You can find more information about the MIFI 2200 mobile hotspot on Verizon’s website.
Have you been frustrated with your iPhone’s performance with AT&T? Well, your freedom of choice is finally almost here.
In case you hadn’t heard, Verizon recently announced the upcoming arrival of the iPhone to their U.S. network. The global wireless carrier has also announced unlimited data plans at a very familiar $30 a month.
According to a report from The Wall Street Journal, Verizon’s COO Lowell McAdam has confirmed that the carrier will give iPhone users the same deal on data plans as AT&T offers to their subscribers.
Last year AT&T switched away from its unlimited data plans – except for grandfathered users – and offered limited data plans. Although this was inconvenient for heavy data users, these plans can pool with one another. Pooling of data is an option that Verizon does not offer at this time.
There is big hype around this launch. With many personal and business users frustrated with AT&T’s 3G infrastructure and service, Verizon has a chance to really show off it’s expansive network. With pre-orders already coming in, Verizon’s launch of the iPhone on February 12th could be a real game changer.
As you can see with John Stewart’s coverage of this announcement on his ever-popular The Daily Show, iPhone users who have not been impressed with AT&T’s service are happy to now have a choice to switch.
So if you currently have/use an iPhone, are you planning to make the switch over, or are you happy with your existing AT&T service quality and coverage?
