Who Are They Fighting For? - The Mobile Professional!
- First there was none (that is nothing that really works...)
- Then there was one (RIM)
- Now There’ll be plenty (Motorola, Nokia, who's next? - Microsoft, Palm…)
The real battle field today is for the mobile professional, and Motorola just made one of the most serious claims to dominance in recent memory, by putting a real "Stick in the ground.”
Analysis:
It is no secret that many companies for many years have been trying to find that "holy grail," that one service which will bring its customers significant revenues on a regular basis. Than RIM came along (after a lot of good money fell for bad ideas, most around the fallacy of the Unified Messaging concept/product). And then everybody realized what was clear to only a few prior, that the simple solution to the mobile professional, road warrior, are the easiest and fastest way to make money in this highly fragmented market.
In its recent move, Motorola completed the basic ingredients for success in this market with great devices, great OS, and a killer application service platform. pretty much following the footsteps of its main rival NOKIA, which made a similar acquisition recently. It is yet to be seen who's going to be next and I will not be surprised if that will not be one of the traditional handset manufacturers, but rather an outsider (Palm? Microsoft?) that will buy into the mobile professional applications market.
This recent acquisition has all the right ingredients and promise for the future, for Palm and for Good and using works from Good's own publications: it provides Motorola with GOOD PRODUCTIVITY, GOOD FLEXIBILITY, GOOD MANAGEABILITY, and even GOOD SECURITY...
