Well the news from the CES Conference this week indicates that there will be a new development release of Windows 8 on February 1 and a potential public release in October.

Presenting at it's last CES Microsoft indicated that Kinect (that crazy control with your body feature on the XBOX that makes you look like you are performing sign language at your TV) will be a feature of Windows 8 ensuring that you will soon see people on the train making strange hand signals at their laptop as they run applications.

Apparently Microsoft have been wooing developers and at release time there will be wide range of Kinect available applications ready to go.

Add that to the new all-in-one version of Windows that is meant to run on everything from Atom Netbooks to Laptops, Desktops and mobile phones and Microsoft could be on to a winner here.

I can't wait!

Do you user iCloud on your iPhone ?
Is that a work iPhone ?
Who owns your Apple ID ?

Services for mobile users has become a whole new area for businesses and IT to deal with. These days it is almost impossible to use an iPhone without an Apple ID, or an Android phone without a google account. But when that device is a work device, not a personal device, who owns that account, who pays for that account, who can backup that device to iCloud, what data is stored on it and do they lose that account when they leave? These questions need to be answered by every business using smartphones.

The reason? It took me 15 minutes to setup a new iPhone from my iCloud backup and bring across all applications, settings and data. What did I need? My Apple ID.

If you use a work phone do you have a personal or company Apple ID? Do you buy your own apps? Do you have any work related pictures or documents?

When you leave will the IT department disable your Apple ID? Do they know your Apple ID? If they don't what is there to stop you walking out the door with pictures, documents and contacts from your phone without needing your corporate accounts.

This is why in the age of the smartphone IT departments need to be quicker and more flexible than before. BYOD (Bring-Your-Own-Device) is rapidly growing in popularity but there are important management strategies required to implement this in your business to ensure you are not compromising your security or user privacy.

When it comes to the introduction of these technologies in the workplace IT needs to be seen as a leader, not as a stumbling block. This means strategies need to be put in to place now to prepare your business for the complexity of smartphone and tablet devices from a variety of platforms to ensure you are prepared when the boss asks you to let Jimmy use his personal phone at work.
