Smartphone synergy already changing landscape
We remember being questioned about our focus on Apple devices, especially in the “early” days (the iPhone first generation device was released June 2007, just shy of a mere three years ago). With the introduction of the 3G, the device no longer had any barriers or limitations, especially related to enterprise integration. For Mac OS users, this was not surprising, having successfully navigated the waters of running Windows software on Mac hard drives years prior.
Still, many IT departments, and organizations with a mix of assets using several platforms (RIM/Blackberry, Microsoft OS-enabled devices), hadn’t gotten around to configuring servers to accommodate all devices. With fully-supported Microsoft Exchange server capability, the iPhone 3Gs is ready to synch flawlessly, and further enable team members.
Hence, our interest in sharing this article, A New Era for Corporate Culture: iPhone Use Doubles in the Enterprise.
More than 70% of Fortune 100 companies are now testing the iPhone as their smartphone of choice.
Removing barriers to productivity is always a benefit. We’re not OS-centric either- we fully support the larger idea of connectivity across the enterprise, and the mobile revolution led by smartphone use.
We’d love to hear what you think- please comment and share this link.

oh boy, oh boy, oh boy!
A Playland for Apps in a Tablet World
Apple Announcement on Tablet this week!
Just a *few* more days! Geeks unite…and salivate over this blog post from Gizmodo.
Some highlights:
Some people want the Apple Tablet to run Mac OS X’s user interface. Others think its UI will be something exotic. Both camps are wrong: The iPhone started a UI revolution, and the tablet is just step two. Here’s why.
ooh, a discussion about end users and User Experience – what a concept!!! (Corporate America, please, oh please, take notes)
More speculation on how it looks! Ten inch screen, really?
Clicky!
Yummy, pancakes!
If Apple has interpreted its indisputable success as an indication about what consumers want for the next computing era, the new device will be more of the same, but better and more capable.
Maybe Apple ignored this experience, and they have created a magical, wondrous, an unproven, completely new interface that nobody can imagine now. You know, the one that will bring universal love, world peace and pancakes for everyone. I’m all for pancakes.
Yapzilla is busy gearing up for the release of this device and releasing new tablet-ready versions of our entertainment division’s iPhone and iPodTouch Apps.
