Symbian’s Robust Enterprise Security

Posted on by

L to R; Me, Mike Maddaloni, Craig Richards,  Teemu Lehtonen. At Microsoft Tech.Ed in Berlin last week, Mike Maddaloni (thehotiron.com), Craig Richards  (geekcomputers.co.uk) and I sat down with Nokia’s Teemu Lehtonen.  The topic was Symbian security, something Teemu knows a thing or two about having worked primarily in that area for most of the 12 years he’s been with Nokia. Teemu outlined the Symbian security model which he called the most secure in the industry. It starts with the hardware. … Continue reading →

Ovi Maps, Nokia’s Killer App – Made In Berlin

On my recent trip to Berlin for Tech.Ed I was really impressed with the performance, stability and ease of use of the latest 3.06 Beta of Ovi Maps.  I’d used it a little before the trip and knew it was pretty good and that it could work offline.

Tech.Ed Europe

Posted on by

I’ll be at the Microsoft Tech.Ed Conference in Berlin Tuesday and Wednesday as the guest of WOMWorld and Nokia. I was really surprised when I got an email from WOMWorld a little over a week ago offering to send me to Berlin for the conference. Totally unexpected and wonderful. I’m looking forward to seeing Berlin for the first time too. I’m not sure what Nokia has in store for me at Tech-Ed.  They are a sponsor of the Microsoft conference, … Continue reading →
