On a recent trip to the USA, I took the opportunity to pick up an iPad—once we walked into the Apple store it was always going to be tough to leave without one (or at least order one!).  I was curious to really understand what the fuss is about.  Mr Jobs seemed to think it was another game changer from Apple, others say it’s just for consuming content, the media were split.  So, I thought I would share my thoughts, not just on the device but on how it will change the way we work or, more likely, the way future generations will work.

Should we care about mobile phone security? As a business? As an individual?

In the days when your mobile phone only contained your contacts list and your text messages, the answer was, ’not really‘.  But smartphones have made the situation dire—for individuals and for companies.

Major benefits will be derived by making key business applications available anywhere, any time, using mobile devices. However, these benefits will not be realised unless the supporting network infrastructure is ready for mobility.
