September 19, 2012 was the big day for Apple users everywhere to update their devices to the new iOS 6. Given Apple's successful track record regarding users updating their operating system versions - it is at least 80 to 85 percent and likely better - we anticipate a huge groundswell of upgrades over the next few days and month. The iOS release is certainly substantial, with over 200 new apps, features, tweaks and updates to the previous version, iOS 5.1.

While there is no magic recipe for a perfect Unified Communications (UC) and Collaboration strategy, there are certain essential ingredients that can ensure its successful deployment and adoption. Technology, of course, is a key ingredient - a well integrated SIP-based platform provides the possibility of leveraging existing telephony and business application ecosystem. User experience is the other important ingredient which often gets overlooked and causes failure in UC deployments. With the increasing trend to bring your own device (BYOD) to work and the consumerization of devices, enterprises are now faced with a whole new set of user expectations that they must address if they want to realize the full benefits of UC.

What Attendees will learn:
  • The importance of a quality user experience from a successfully deployed UC solution
  • A strategy to deliver unprecedented user satisfaction while minimizing TCO
  • Insights into an award-wining integrated platform that can help IT to deliver on user expectation without complexity



Matthew Key, CEO of Telefonica's Digital division, has argued that mobile operators must invest in innovation, because they are becoming "commoditized" and their relevance to customers is "decreasing." That is an uncontroversial statement, these days.
iPass is a global Wi-Fi and enterprise mobility services player that has long sought to offset the cost of wireless broadband and related wireless data charges through the use of a vast global network of Wi-Fi access points. Today, the company announced a new extension to its services, offering what it refers to as an IT-sponsored global Wi-Fi service with direct end-user billing. The new capability is part of iPass Open Mobile Express.
The interesting thing about seven inch tablets is they really don't try to be productivity tools like the 10 inch class struggles with. These truly live where the iPad was initially targeted at content consumption. They do what a smartphone does without the phone part and if you run the battery down playing games or browsing the Web, your phone still works.
It's one of the worst things that can happen in an increasingly mobile generation: that expensive new iPhone that, in some cases, may have required months of saving and weeks to actually arrive (especially for those who bought around launch time) gets somehow broken in the midst of moving from place to place or the like.
High usage tablets (a term that also implies that tablets will replace laptops) will reach 672 million deployed units by 2017, driving significant increases in ad spend based solely on mobile search, which will likely reach 12 billion by 2017. The increase will represent a tripling of such revenue, expected to hit $4 billion in 2012.
I leave it to my colleagues here at TMCnet to explain virtually everything you need to know about the global phenomenon known as the launch of the Apple iPhone 5. It is certainly something to marvel at. This is true based on the iPhone 5's versatility as well as Apple's continue marketing virtuosity in the post-Jobs era. Let's face it, as big as everyone thought the iPhone 5 was going to be it looks like it might be even bigger.
It's ok to die. In fact, dying can be a good thing.
