Mobile technology continues to change the way we work and play. What’s next? Much was made of the “next billion” at this year’s Mobile World Congress – the number of people worldwide targeted to get their own handset and network connection. If the predictions are right, then the market for mobile phones will dwarf every single other technology market on the planet.

But in the enterprise, mobile handsets still have the power to terrify large companies, even as they invest in infrastructure to make using them easier for nomadic employees. They’re more powerful, can hold more data and can run more sophisticated applications – all of which needs managing. But just how powerful and widespread are handsets becoming? Will we all have smartphones in five years’ time? Brett Steingo, product manager at Internet Solutions, thinks not.
