Editor's Corner

There's an interesting report from research firm WTRS on how mobile device users are getting more frustrated, angrier and disenchanted with mobile technology thanks to clunky user interfaces and stalled functionality features. While it's not encouraging news for the industry sector--those who make and deploy new products and services--it is good news for enterprises and users. It's typically the customer/user response that can only bring about needed change and better technology. The report says users want plug and play features, easy to use applications and better service stability. Just like in any industry, the winning product and tool makers will be those who listen to customer feedback and bring about technologies that meet the needs and solve the problems facing wireless users today.

Also, this is the final issue of IT-Wireless for 2005. We'll be back with a special issue on Wednesday, January 4. We wish you a joyous holiday season and a healthy and productive new year. - Judy
