Mobility Today Podcast #171

You know it's funny you mention that. Just this past weekend I was talking to my wife about her work Blackberry and we were joking about the camera being disabled. I didn't realize they had so much control over the content allowed on a phone. That is a great point. Thanks for the comment.

I agree with you guys in regards to enterprise companies not being to favorable to a device that connects to Facebook ect as in Windows Phone 7 but you guys missed one important thing. Working in an enterprise enviroment where control is everything, companies that distrubte such devices usually have control over the features allowed on the device. Something that is capable in Blackberry, and becoming more capable in Windows Mobile and I suspect even more configurable in Windows Phone 7. This is why BlackBerry and Windows Mobile in it's current incarnation are accepted as enterprise business tools and the iPhone is not.

For example, we have a policy that disables certain hardware and software functionality on blackberrys. The feature are there but users can't use them as the company doesn't deem them to be necessary for their business use.

This is what we'll be seeing in Windows Phone 7 and what companies have been asking for in greater flexibility to deaf ears for the iPhone.
