    Smartphones are more like super-portable, mini-computers than standalone handsets these days. But, what good is all that computing power if you can’t make use of all your old data?

  • Microsoft launches System Center Mobile Device Manager 2008 - pushing mobile enterprise mobile to the edge

    So, we’re here at CTIA San Francisco 2007 and the first thing on our agenda was the Microsoft launch luncheon (try saying that three times, fast). Here’s what they’ve got planned… In keeping with the Microsoft’s expertise in enterprise mobile solutions, Microsoft has launched their first “dedicated mobile device management server” - Microsoft System Center Mobile Device Manager 2008. And, to help roll-out device compatibility with the Mobile Device Manager, Microsoft has teamed up with AT&T and Sprint to bring Microsoft has keyed in on the business customer’s needs beyond the realm of simple email, contact management, and calendar sync-ing. They’re leveraging the Windows Mobile platform to bring a new level of integration and user-level management to the enterprise IT professional. With features like over-the-air application delivery and secure VPN connectivity, the Microsoft System Center Mobile Device Manager 2008 aims to ensure that fleet-management of Windows Mobile devices maintains “end-to-end data integrity” as well as providing secure access to corporate data - in other words, Windows Mobile device fleets can all be updated and synchronized with ease and allow user-corporate VPN connection under the watchful eye of the Microsoft System Center Mobile Device Center 2008. IT heads will be happy to hear that the new Mobile Device Center will employ an “always on” connection - affording them the control they need to maintain and ensure fleet integrity. Should the “always on” connection drop-out, Microsoft’s “fast reconnect” technology gets the user securely back online without having to re-authenticate. And, if the IT department sees a problem with any device in their fleet, System Center Mobile Device Manager provides the IT Administrator with the power to lock down a specific handset - they can disable Bluetooth, SMS/MMS, WLAN (WiFi), InfraRed, POP/IMAP...

  • Epocware optimizes SlovoEd dictionaries, Handy line of apps for Nokia E90, Motorola Z8

    By now, Symbian smartphone owners are certainly familiar with some of Epocware’s applications — their dictionaries and utilities are one of the best-selling titles for the platform. Now, they decided to optimize their existing portfolio of applications for the Nokia E90 Communicator ’s large screen and for the recently release UIQ 3.1-based Motorola Z8 . I wouldn’t talk much about SlovoEd dictionaries and Handy line of utilities (Handy Safe, Handy Clock, Handy Expense, Handy Taskman, Handy Weather and more) — as I said, I’m sure you’ve heard or even tried one of them. I’ll just add that the wait is over - Epocware is now covering the complete spectrum of Symbian devices.

  • Motorola embraces Mobile Linux with new MOTOMAGX platform

    Motorola has announced their commitment to the Mobile Linux platform with release of the new MOTOMAGX platform. The new platform aims to build on the prior success of Motorola’s use of Mobile Linux to bring us “new levels of openness, flexibility and support for third-party applications on Motorola mobile devices.” The first handsets to utilize the MOTOMAGX platform are the MOTOROKR Z6 and the Motorola RAZR2 V8 . With Motorola’s plan to implement the MOTOMAGX platform in 60% of their upcoming handsets, we should see some significant innovation and media development from the ailing handset manufacturing giant. This could be just what Motorola needs to breathe new life into their limp handset division. Out biggest gripe with past Moto phones has been the drab and incredibly counter-intuitive user interface, so Moto’s revamped drive to use Mobile Linux seems like a promising start. We’ll see if MOTOMAGX is enough to keep this once-behemoth from becoming another sideline spectator in the mobile game.

  • MOTORIZR Z8 gets Quickoffice viewer, what about edit?

    We have one good and one bad news for existing and future (as it’s still not available in many parts of the world) MOTORIZR Z8 users. The good one is that popular mobile office suite Quickoffice v4 is now available for Motorola’s “ media monster “; the bad one is that at this stage it only allows viewing of the documents — you can’t edit them directly from your handset. However, that could be just good enough for you in case you bought/want this phone for its media qualities. For the introductory price of $19,95, Quickoffice promises “unique and powerful viewing features for Word, PowerPoint and Excel, including the ability to view Word documents, with original formatting of fonts, layouts, colors, lists, bullets, headers and footers intact and optimized for the Motorola phone.” Well, we could at least see email attachments this way, which is not that bad. I would love to see Motorola bundling Quickoffice with Z8 — otherwise it’s hard to imagine buying an office viewer.
