Apple to discuss about iPhone SDK on March 6

When they first launched iPhone in 2007, Apple said the SDK (Software Development Kit) for iPhone applications will be launched by Feb 2008.

Last week the Business Week said the iPhone SDK will be delayed by few weeks.

Now Reuters reports that the Apple has made an official invitation to media and developers to discuss about the new features and SDK road map of iPhone :

"Please join us to learn about the iPhone software roadmap, including the iPhone SDK and some exciting new enterprise features," Apple said in an invitation sent to reporters.

The event will take place on March 6th, 2008 at 10 am Pacific time at Apple's Cupertino campus.

btw, what does this "to learn about Roadmap" mean???

does this mean that they are only going to discuss about the SDK and the launch will take some more time. Only the Apple knows.

Being a software professional, I do understand how releases get delayed.
Hence no complaints from me.

.....and moreover I only have a Nokia 3315 [:-)]

Mobile Device Management - the Next Hot Enterprise Market

We are living in the Modern Gadget Era. Today Mobile Workforce, is considered to be the simple, yet the most powerful strategy for business success. Its PDA, BlackBerry, etc.., etc.. everywhere.

Most organizations provide mobile devices to their employees. As this trend would expand in future, managing such mobile devices will be a bigger challenge for the IT Professionals.

This is where they would need a Mobile Device Management Software that can minimize their manual efforts and provide more productivity.

Today there aren't many vendors in this segment however in near future this will be the primary target for many Enterprise Software vendors.

Very recently, two major vendors Microsoft and CA have launched their Mobile Device Software Solution. Other major systems management vendors like Novell, BMC, LANDesk and Symantec are expected to enter into this market, soon.

CA, which says they support many features for mobile device management, will charge US$ 65 for each mobile device do be managed. The SMBs which cannot afford such high price for each device will surely go for low cost software with the best set of features. Hence there is a huge market for high and low cost software in this segment.

As per a research report, the Mobile Device Management software market is expected to grow up to US$ 345 Millions by 2011.

Personally, I would like to see some Indian Software company sharing the largest pie of this [:-)]
