Hot Topics: Mobile Devices, McAfee’s Security Initiatives

Leading the way among this week’s hot topics is the news of Verizon finally getting its hands on the Apple iPad. Plus, Microsoft debuted Windows Phone 7, and smartphones running the platform will launch in the U.S. next month. Meanwhile, debate rages on over whether the Apple iPad or the RIM PlayBook is best for enterprise customers. And Apple is planning an event to showcase its latest Mac OS X version. Chances are, these stories matter quite a bit to you and your operation. After all, with Verizon selling the iPad, it gives you a wider range of carriers and makes the device more feasible for a nationwide enterprise deployment. It’s unclear for now whether Windows Phone 7 could be an enterprise mobile OS of choice when it finally launches in November–many questions remain unanswered for business users.
