More tablets and smartphones are entering the market, some could be competition for the iPad and iPhone, but the future will tell on that one, with this adoption of information hungry devices and their users we have a number of new issues!
We want high speed connectivity wherever we are how will this be possible and how many accounts will we need? The carriers have good coverage with 3G data these days but at times we drop into the dark ages with edge or worse connections, this will improve with the adoption of 4G technologies such as LTE, but how long do we need to wait?
Wifi is available from coffee shops, bars, etc. but how many different accounts do we need? Many are free, but we have to register and login each time we are there! Where is our ubiquitous wifi coverage from a single or federated organisation?
Many of us are now using our own devices for work tasks, how are these controlled if they have business data on them, how is there access and security managed if they connect to the enterprise network? What other threats do they bring along with them?
Lots of potential issues going forward into 2012, let us see what 2012 brings to help with these challenges.
