Now that the hurricane that was the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus launches has blown out of town, other pieces of news are starting to pop up on the mobile device front along with a surprising announcement from AT&T Wireless. Rather than handling them as a string of short pieces, it seemed more appropriate to bundle the whole lot together.
The TMC.Net's Wearable Tech Expo took place in New York this week and the consensus was that the enterprise rather than the consumer market was where wearables would find their first success. This is the second year I attended the expo, and I found a very different line-up than last year.
This week I hosted the weekly podcast on the subject of the Expanding World of Mobility with several of my UCStrategies cohorts, and one of the topics we got into was the developing area of mobile peripherals or "wearable technologies." As it turns out, TMC.Net was hosting the Wearable Tech Expo in New York this week and I had the chance to attend. What I came away with was a pile of interesting ideas and a deeper appreciation of the challenges involved in coming up with the "next big thing."
