Trouble is, there really is so little to say any more.

Fact is, I prefer a situation in which only substantial news is shared. And that is now pretty much what Wave produces. So I have no complaints. But it sure makes it harder to say anything new!!!

The interesting thing today was the appearance of the DoD secure app store. It is apparent that the DoD folks are doing exactly what we hoped: which is to define the terms of service with respect to their mobile devices rather than to allow MNOs to dictate terms to them. DoD specifies the devices it will purchase. It defines the permissible apps. This provides a blueprint for other government departments and enterprises.

"If all goes according to plan, the Defense Department is about a month and a half away from opening its own walled-off, DoD-only app store for secure mobile devices.

Along with that, the military is promising a speedier security review process so that smartphones aren't obsolete by the time they're allowed to connect to Defense networks. The actions are part of the Pentagon's first comprehensive effort to build a departmentwide infrastructure to support a new generation of mobile devices Defense personnel have wanted to use for years."
