O'Reilly Inside Mobile Conference Recap

Aadjemonkeyrock.com re-tweeted Trends: Why Cloud Computing is the Future of Mobile -

Daily I observe these trends playing out in ordinary human computer interactions. Many office buildings emptied out over the past few years, people now working at home, visit customers, or spend time embedded at suppliers (yeah - the economy emptied out some offices). Visit a Starbucks during the day time, popular locations are often full of people meeting on business or working their email inboxes. By empirical observation –the trend is crystal clear. People are now doing more work connected in real-time to their company databases via Mobile Apps. They stay connected to the popular corporate information services like Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Office, Exact Synergy and emerging apps easily deployed via Cloud Computing, so IT can provision access to People who are Mobile.


Mobile is so simple its convenience over sophistication. Simplicity over complexity.
