<description><![CDATA[Mobile applications are all the rage right now in the technology industry. Every time Apple gets a chance to talk about one of its iOS-based devices, the company also announces a new application-download milestone it has hit. And Google fans, always hoping that their favorite company will take down Apple, like to tout the growing number of developers who are moving to Android to create new applications for them.

There are still many IT executives we speak with who see such applications as potential security and productivity holes that have no place in the enterprise. But not all mobile apps are created equal. Although there are major issues that can be associated with them, they can also deliver several important benefits to your company that you may not be not taking advantage of right now. Here are 10 things, good and bad, you need to know about mobile apps.   -  ...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[When we think about the technology world, we often spend our time discussing the hugely popular products. We examine how Windows became so popular, and talk about the way in which the iPhone and iPad have changed the world. The products that fail, or in some way disappoint customers, are typically left out of discussions. Every now and again, though, its worth examining those devices and services that couldnt make the grade, and discuss why they failed. Most of the items featured here managed to survive longer than celebrity Kim Kardashians 72-day marriage to Nets basketball player Kris Humphries. But all of them were ultimately doomed. In some cases, it was simply a matter of being ahead of the times. But for others, the failures were due mainly to the trouble the companies had in proving to customers -- both consumers and enterprise users -- that the products were worth trying out. Herewith, our list of 10 epic tech failures. Some may surprise you, and others may bring back ugly memories. Lets see what we can learn from these mistakes.   -   ...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Apples iPad is capturing the allure of consumers around the world. In fact, ABI Research said in July that it expects Apple to sell around 11 million iPad units by year's end. A recent poll of 2,100 American adults conducted by Zogby International on behalf of Sybase finds that one in four expect their employer to provide access to tablets in the enterprise. Most likely, you see considerable potential in Apples tablet as a way to make employees more productive while roaming.

Trying to get them to adopt a new form factor thats seen as a consumer-focused product could be a tall order. But, in todays tech space, where staying ahead of the curve helps a company thrive, convincing your CEO to adopt the iPad should be near the top of your list for things to accomplish by years end.
