Springtime for wireless

Ah, it's Spring and new products are ready to burst upon the market. The iPhone is the most talked-about new phone in years, but there are plenty of other new handsets from vendors like Nokia and Motorola as well--enough to keep you busy trying to figure out which features your users might need. Just to make things more complicated, it looks like the Ultra-Mobile Personal Computer (UMPC) might be starting to pick up a little steam. It's a great concept; a very small package holds all of the computing power you need for your work. You can carry it around and use it for phone calls and instant messaging, or plug in a monitor, mouse, and keyboard to have a fully functional personal computer at your disposal. You might want to start working now on those capability grids that will let you show your users why you are--or aren't--buying that hot portable wireless device they simply must have.

IT-Wireless usually hits your inbox on Monday morning but since next Monday is a holiday, look for IT-Wireless on Tuesday. Have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend. -Curtis
