"Some call it diversity, some call it fragmentation. However you slice it, there's a lot of Android devices out there. OpenSignalMaps has tracked a staggering 3,997 unique phones, tablets and other Google-powered gadgets, and has put them into a chart weighted by popularity."
"Visit http://www.ibm.com/services/mobility to learn how IBM is using new technologies, applications and mobile devices to enable a smarter, more productive workforce. This short video shares IBM's journey enabling a flexible, mobile enterprise."
"While it's relatively easy to use these SDKs in native applications, its still not straightforward to do so in a hybrid or mobile web application, which are becoming more popular with the cross-platform advantage they offer. So if I'm developing, say, a hybrid app, how do I use say, the Google AdMob SDK, which is primarily for an Android app? IBM Worklight, part of the IBM Mobile Foundation is a powerful development platform which allows you to do this easily."
"Another, relatively less explored way of advertising when you do not want to go through the ad networks or just want to use your app to advertise your own business, is to use IBM Worklight adapters and push notifications."
"According to Price Waterhouse Coopers’ latest Digital IQ survey, 66% of organizations are investing in mobile technologies for their employees. But these businesses are reacting to the Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) phenomenon, most are not preparing for it."
"The App Center is designed to grow mobile apps that use Facebook, whether users are on iOS, Android or the mobile Web, Brady said. “From the mobile App Center, users can browse apps that are compatible with their device, and if a mobile app requires installation, they will be sent to download the app from the App Store or Google Play.”"
"IBM has been steadily investing in the mobile space for more than a decade, both organically and through acquisitions: building a complete portfolio of software and services that delivers enterprise-ready mobility for clients. Increasingly, enterprises are reaching beyond their traditional IT boundaries by consuming new Cloud services and creating new mobile applications for employees and customers for broad consumption by customers, partners and developers."
"IBM also added ways for enterprises to bring their current data and services to mobile devices. New capabilities in IBM DataPower appliances are designed to help IT departments quickly bring their existing resources to mobile devices. WebSphere Cast Iron, based on technology the company acquired through its 2010 buyout of hybrid cloud software vendor Cast Iron, can help enterprises link mobile applications to clouds and other back-end infrastructure, according to IBM."
"Looking to give solution providers a leg up in the mobile computing market that is expected to grow from $22 billion in 2012 to $36 billion by 2015, IBM today rolled out Mobile Foundation, a portfolio of IBM mobile computing technologies that are designed to simplify the management of mobile computing and applications in the enterprise."
"Building on its recent acquisition of Worklight, the new foundation further expands IBM's strategy to provide clients with a mobile platform that spans application development, integration, security and management. For example, using the IBM Mobile Foundation, an airline can transform the way it interacts with its customers by establishing a secure two-way relationship with mobile applications, IBM said. Now, they can use their applications not only to keep customers apprised of their travel plans and current weather conditions, but also send push-notifications to alert them if there are changes or opportunities for upgrades. This is all made possible by deep integration into the airlines' back-end systems and relevant cloud services."
"IBM has wasted no time in exploiting the technology it acquired through its January purchase of mobile apps platform provider Worklight, which underpins the new Mobile Foundation release. At its Impact show in Las Vegas on Monday, the firm launched a new set of mobile tools that let developers build a single application and then run it across multiple mobile platforms, such as Apple's IOS, Google's Android and RIM's Blackberry.:
"Mobile Application Management is far more than just having your own private app store."
"When a company’s product is a native app, technological limitations are not the only challenge. Apple in particular wants their products to have a consistent, repeatable user experience, and thus would likely frown upon and possibly reject apps that have different user interfaces. This makes it troublesome for app developers and marketers who are trying to use real data to manage their products."
"IBM CIO Jeanette Horan has plenty of IT projects and systems to worry about, but perhaps one of the most pressing and timely is Big Blue's ongoing BYOD (bring your own device) rollout, which is aimed at including all of the company's 440,000 employees over time."
"After weeks of speculation and rumors, Google has officially pulled back the curtain on what they have come to call Project Glass — a pair of augmented reality glasses that seek to provide users real-time information right in front of their eyes."
"No, that's not a typo. AT&T might have the Lumia 900 listed for a cool $99.99 as of this article's writing, but a quick trip over to Amazon reveals that you can purchase the same device for a tiny piece of copper (technically, copper-plated Zinc, but who's counting?)"
"City government agencies around the world continue to explore mobile applications to provide services more effectively and to reach citizens in new ways. And it’s not just for civil services — cities are embracing apps to highlight their own civic culture and even promote community action. Here are 10 cities that offer mobile apps for citizens, tourists or both. Does your city have an app? What do you like about it?"
"Hearn believes that mobile app development projects will start to take security and privacy into the design process within the next two years because a lot of countries around the world are focusing on the privacy issues and starting to pass more legislation that make the penalties a lot stricter and harsher for business that don’t do it."
"Mobile development has come a long way in the past few years. But as technology continues to introduce new and more innovating products at a rapid pace, there’s room for many developers to make huge mistakes along the way — ones that could jeopardize their product or even their entire business."
"We enlisted IBM's Leigh Williamson, a Distinguished Engineer and a member of the CTO Team, to guide us through the different ways that developers can go about app testing. Testing is not as simple as a developer trying to troubleshoot the native code on an app. Mobile apps are often vertical software systems with a variety of moving parts on the front end, in the middle and in a back-end cloud. Your code on the device may be running perfectly fine, but you would never know it because it is being corrupted from the back end that feeds it information. Or maybe some of the middle-tier services, like third-party SDKs, are running improperly. When something goes wrong, sometimes it is easy to figure out what is broken. Many times, you have no idea."
