<description><![CDATA[Would you or your employees feel depressed, anxious or physically ill if you had to go a week without a smartphone? According to recent research from enterprise mobility services vendor iPass, Inc., the majority of us say we expect to show these physical or psychological signs of addiction if we had to put down our iPhones, Android smartphones or Blackberrys for a few days. The research finds these feelings can be the result of the increasingly blurry line between personal and business time and the fact that many of us are using our personal Angry Birds-playing devices for business reasons. Yet the 24/7 workplace culture, abetted by the ubiquity of mobile devices in our lives, is taking its toll. We aren't sleeping or exercising enough, and our physical health is suffering, which can hurt your bottom line. &quot;Today's mobile employees are critical to the success of every enterprise, contributing 240 more work hours a year than their non-mobile counterparts,&quot; says Evan Kaplan, president and CEO of iPass. More than 2,300 mobile enterprise employees took part in the research. For more about the survey, click here. Here are selected highlights:   -  ...]]></description>

It remains to be seen whether RIM's plans for a host of new &quot;superphones&quot; running the BBX operating system will help it regain market share regain market share . Meanwhile, RIM tried last week to make things right by offering consumers free apps worth $100 and giving enterprise users a free month of technical support. The company also apologized profusely, saying that it let customers down. The outages left out in the cold those CIOs who have held the line on requiring RIM's smartphones and accompanying BlackBerry Enterprise Servers as the best enterprise options for secure corporate mobility. Here are our nine suggestions for things wed like to see RIM do for its enterprise users to restore goodwill in the wake of its BlackBerry services outage.   -  ...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[With Apples iPhone 4S already breaking sales records -- the company says it sold 4 million units in the first three days after the smartphone's Oct. 14 launch -- and Sprint added to the list of wireless carriers offering the handset, you're probably looking to understand the key differences in Apples line of smartphones. For many enterprises now, the question is not &quot;How do we keep these things out of the workplace?&quot; but rather, &quot;Which one should we offer employees?&quot; Currently, Apple is selling the iPhone 3GS, which it launched two years ago, as well as last years iPhone 4. The iPhone 4S, which launched on Oct. 14, is also out there for the taking. Making that decision requires you to look hard at some of the key things that might sway such a decision. Here, we highlight 10 factors that may help you make up your mind about which Apple iPhone should be deployed in your operation:   -  ...]]></description>

<item><title>Apple iPhone 4S: 10 Reasons it's Worth Considering for the Enterprise</title>
<pubDate>Fri, 07 Oct 2011 13:45:45 -0400</pubDate>
<link>http://www.cioinsight.com/c/a/Mobile-and-Wireless/Apple-iPhone-4S-10-Reasons-its-Worth-Considering-for-the-Enterprise-457960/?kc=rss</link>
<description><![CDATA[Apple was expected to show off two new iPhones at an event held in its hometown of Cupertino, CA on Oct. 4. One, the iPhone 4S, was believed to be a nominal upgrade over its predecessor, the iPhone 4, while the other, the iPhone 5, would deliver the revolutionary upgrades Apple loyalists were after. However, Apple instead unveiled the iPhone 4S and its new iOS5 operating system at the event, disappointing those hoping for a major device upgrade. However, with the Oct. 5 death of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs coming hard on the heels of the product debut, the Twitterati were abuzz with speculation that the &quot;4S&quot; was so named in honor of Jobs: iPhone 4S being shorthand for &quot;iPhone For Steve.&quot; Naming decisions notwithstanding, for CIOs, it might have been good news. For one thing, Sprint joins the ranks of U.S. wireless carriers Verizon and AT&amp;T in offering the iPhone 4S when it hits the market on October 14. And, as weve said on these pages before, iPhone 5 didnt look to be an enterprise winner. Using rumors and analyst reports as our guide, it appeared that the iPhone 5 was undoubtedly designed with only consumers in mind. And in the process, CIOs, hoping to make their employees more productive, would have been disappointed. Such is not the case with the iPhone 4S, which includes some nifty new features via iOS5. On paper, at least, Apples latest handset entrant could be a winner for consumers and enterprise users, alike. Here are 10 reasons why.   -  ...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Theyre constantly connected, whether at home, a coffee shop or an airport terminal. These are our modern mobile employees, and theyre increasing their presence and impact upon the enterprise. Yet, despite the fact that they always seem to be on the job, a recent survey conducted by enterprise mobility service provider iPass sheds light on some surprising insights about this culture: More than six of 10 respondents say theyre experiencing better work/life balance now than they did before the advent of mobility tools, in spite of a long work day. There are even a growing number of workers who manage to find some time to unplug. “Even though mobile workers are putting in more hours, we are starting to see the pendulum swing back to the center on disconnecting,” says Barbara Nelson, CTO at iPass. The bottom line for managers is that most respondents feel that workshifting -- the ability to complete tasks whenever and wherever they want to -- enables them to increase their productivity and efficiency. More than 3,100 mobile enterprise employees worldwide took part in the ,survey which was conducted between July 1 and July 15, 2011. Here are eight highlights from the report, plus four best practices for your IT department on the effective oversight of your mobile workforce.   -  ...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The Apple iPhone 5, announced at the company's Worldwide Developers Conference in early June, was reportedly due for its big reveal on Oct. 4. However, when the big day came no iPhone 5 was mentioned. Instead, Apple introduced an improved version of iPhone called 4S and announced that Sprint is in line to offer the iPhone. When Apple originally announced the new phone at its WWDC, the company  stopped short of discussing hardware, instead choosing to focus its efforts on its operating systems and a new cloud-based platform, called iCloud .  More details will be available when the company's new CEO Tim Cook  unveils the iPhone 5, at which point CIOs will need to determine if the device is right for employees. You'll want to examine the device itself, as well as the wider market, to see if bringing the iPhone 5 to your operation would be a benefit or a detriment to the daily goings-on in the office. As nice as the iPhone 5 might be for consumers, we're betting that the device will fall short for many CIOs. Read on to find out why:   -  ...]]></description>
