How do organizations plan for the Motorola Atrix? How will this impact current software products used by

corporations, students, and others? Who are the winners and the losers in this transition?  In

other words who is best prepared now for the transition and who has not considered the potential for the use of this powerful technology?

What will be the impact on networking in general?

How will corporations need to change in how they view security and access to systems?

What are the benefits to corporations and other organizations?

What are the disadvantages? Why this will happen within the next five years will

happen?

Motorola—Plans to release docking station app for smart phones

Microsoft—Can allow Microsoft Office software (or some version of it) to be used on docks

Companies that make software that is too powerful for smart phones or docking stations would not benefit

Any company that is based around security will not benefit from the transition

Networking will revolve almost entirely around smart phones and most likely new network OS’s that are also based on smart phones

Security will become a much bigger issue

•Companies will need to allow access to their systems through 4 g networks•Companies need to now take precautionary steps in case an employee lose his or her phone•Purchasing anti-virus protection will be a must•Set up system so smart phones must have anti-malware to access system•Require phones to use remote wipe so that if lost data can be erased from it

•Allow employees to work anywhere

•Easier than having to use a laptop and phone

•Can have all info in one device

•No need to go to the office- time saver

•Full functioning web browser

• Battery Life• New technology is coming out rapidly,

once you buy one Smartphone.  The next edition is being put out.  (For example Iphone4 and Iphone5)• Pricing plan-E-mail, web phone charges• Laptop dock keys are too small• AT & T's network is not fast enough

Another significant change will occur within the next 5 years

Technology is developing rapidly.  Right now we already have the Iphone4, Ipad, Ipad2 different smart phones be created daily. 

This will continue companies will compete with each other and

continuing to put out newer and faster technology.
