The new HYPE is called BYOD [Bring Your Own Device]


If you have not noticed, there is a trend now hyping now pulling wave in the business world its called Bring Your Own Device, though some people might substitute that "Device" to many from "Technology" "Software" "App" "Computer" "Cloud" so you might see BYOD been interchanged with BYOT, BYOS, BYOA, BYOC and BYOC; it all depends from which approach you get on with it.    

Now lets get to the stats and try to tear it down as much as we can (ahahahahah)
Osterman Research conducted a survey of 760 individuals with regard to the BYOD issues they face in their organizations. Personally owned Apple iPhone and iPads, as well as Android smartphones and tablets, are more common than their company-supplied counterparts.


Also during this research was found an unbelievably huge use of third party, cloud-based storage and file synchronization offerings that are sometimes used with the approval of the company's IT department  {meaning the IT department allows Staff to make use of such}, but more often not. Most of you have them on on your computers and even mobile versions like that of Dropbox, Skydrive, Apple Cloud and the self acclaimed Google drive and 14% of 1,000+ employee of an organizations uses it with IT's approval and blessing and in 44% of 1000+ employee uses them without approval. This is very staggering, it means that we cannot run away from the 


According to Wiki, BYOD was first introduced since the year 2009, courtesy of Intel when it recognized an increasing tendency among its employees to bring their own devices to work and connect them to the corporate network. However, it was only until early 2011 before the term BYOD grabbed the much needed attention to achieved any real prominence when IT services provider Unisys, software vendors VMware and Citrix Systems started to share their perceptions of this emergent trend.
In 2012, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission adopted a BYOD policy, but many employees continued to use their government-issued BlackBerrys because of concerns about billing, and the lack of alternative devices.



Similar term
Corporate Owned, Personally Enabled (COPE) is an IT business strategy through which an organization buys and provides computing resources and devices to be used and managed by employees. COPE allows an organization to source and deliver computing devices and services to employees and is how most organizations provide handheld or portable devices/gadgets to their employees. These devices can include but are not limited to laptops/notebooks, smartphones, tablets PCs and/or software services.
 

COPE is the complete opposite to bring your own device (BYOD), a strategy in which employees use their own devices for work, rather than attaining them from their employer. Businesses using a COPE strategy can provide their employees with IT devices and gadgets but the company maintains ownership of such devices, and can often monitor and control their activity to a larger degree. Besides business purposes, employees can use their devices for personal activities such as accessing social sites, email, calls, etc. Plus, COPE can be a less expensive option that BYOD, in which employees are often reimbursed for all or part of the cost of the devices they buy. This is because if the company buys devices, it can generally get them for less than retail price. COPE also gives the company more power in terms of policing and protecting devices, thus reducing some of the risk that comes with BYOD.

Looking Ahead 
It is now the time the BYOD can't simply be Neglected, the education sector has thrived on this for long unknowingly even as the neglect the secured approach of it  and even Intel has been forced to expand its BYOD program due to high yields on productivity. Intel has 23,500 devices and 41 applications and services in its BYOD program. there was a resounding success, providing around 5 million hours of annual productivity gains last year for the tiny devices company

"The goal is to provide a security infrastructure that does not hinder mobility 

The Duo Persona Effect
I call this the 'Duo persona effect' because it applies to the Device you bring to work, you very own personal device has a split personality, your home personality which involves you and your home work, meetings with family and friends, mails from relatives of as the case may be, then the personality which involves your work, corporate data, business appointment, account information, business proceedings and as the case may be. So the challenge remains can we effectively manage the personalities in one device and not undermining information security policies cost and scalability of network?

1. Samsung's Approach [Knox SAFE]
The dozen security enhancements to the Samsung SAFE program (an abbreviation for Samsung Approved For Enterprise) which include enterprise Single Sign-On, mean that users get "security enhanced Android" to "address all major [Android] security gaps," said Timothy Wagner, general manager of enterprise sales for Samsung in a briefing with reporters.
For instance, Samsung has written more than 700 APIs (application programming interfaces) that can be used to help IT shops customize Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) security policies in partnership with existing Mobile Device Management (MDM) vendors such as Mobile Iron, Juniper, AirWatch and Sybase.

2. Blackberry's Approach [Balance]
BlackBerry recently announced Balance, which created dual personas in the BlackBerry 10 OS used in the new Z10 smartphone. But BlackBerry adds another layer of security by requiring that IT shops set up BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10 software on a server behind the corporate firewall. 




The software carries a one-time fee of $99 per supported device when installed on a corporate server. A limited 60 day free trial download of the software is also available. Analyst have argued that the Blackberry's approach offers a more secured assurance than that of samsung's galaxy s3
 
Android is already running more than 70% of smartphones sold. Samsung sells about half of all smartphones, which puts the company in a powerful position to help workers and IT shops.

Cisco Jabber lets you access presence, instant messaging (IM), voice, video, voice messaging, desktop sharing, and conferencing. Now you can find the right people, see if and how they are available, and collaborate using your preferred method. it collaborates with existing technologies like the Cisco ASA to provide tailored security

5. VMware's Approach [VMware Horizon Suite]
Anticipating the greater use of personal consumer electronics in the workplace, VMware has bundled three of its IT management products into a single suite designed to help administrators deliver worker data, applications and desktops to myriad end-user devices.
This Horizon Suite will provide employees the opportunity to access work applications from any device they use, whether it is a laptop, tablet or even smartphone, as said by Erik Frieberg, a senior director at VMware for end user computing.
VMware's approach is "to transform the silo apps, such as operation systems, into services that can be delivered to end users in any device, with policy-based management.

demo od CISCO BYOD implementation


BYOD will continueto dominate in the IT sector and move upwards in trend because unlike in 2009 there is nothing stopping it right now, many companies are adapting and adopting their infrastructure to embrace the larger scheme of things some.
According to Bob Lewis of infoworld 'BYOD is more of a sourcing tactics that it is technology'  and as a result might cause disruption in three major areas -- integration, information security, and support -but as it turns out as integration is not much of a problem as many platforms are now available not by very much,  however, Is Information security a barrier to BYOD because despite the adaptation and adoption.

Most of your might find yourselves in a company implementing this so now you've been brought up to speed

What do you think about Bringing Your Own Device [BYOD]
Do you think it will save cost for your company?
Do you thing it will ever be as secured as the Corporately Owned, Personally Enabled [COPE]?
Would you advice your company to embrace this upward trend?

The Walking Works of the PS4 Eye


From what we've researched we can conclude that Sony is trying to ensure 16 million PlayStation 4 units available the day the console releases. Yes! [i mean say sony ready to produce 16,000,000,000 units] this is to avoid shortages because we can forecast a huge demand of this unit. The day the console comes out. Now you don’t have an excuse not to get one! but do not steal to buy one of this unit, and make sure you finish your thesis, term paper, project, dissertation before you handle this console because my "Nigerian Intellect" tells me that this will take a part of you. This also means I won’t have to mind if some scary people who want the console more than I do and will do anything to get it but not exactly anything, only legal genuine things to get it and that includes passing with good grades. It also means I better start saving my money, because now that there might be a surplus of units, I can make this a Day 1 purchase.

GamePlay of KillZone


The new Sony PS4 next-gen games console has finally been announced,the hardware  contain - a 64-bit, x86 AMD APU with eight cores, codenamed "Jaguar", Radeon-based graphics capable of 1.84 TFLOPS of rendering power, and 8GB of GDDR5 memory, as well as an unspecified amount of hard disk storage and a Blu-ray optical drive.
Also the latest  PlayStation 4 Eye comes with a pair of 1,280 x 800 cameras, four microphones and an 85-degree field of view. The two lenses are designed to be used in a variety of ways, including triangulating the 3D space, gesture recognition, Kinect-style body tracking, and in conjunction with accessories like the  DualShock 4 controller.
As gathered anonymously Sony’s goal,  is to run games at 60 frames per second and 1080p resolution." that will give you an hint of how expensive the technology is

Using the  PS Eye-style AR game as an example, the original camera one lens had to do everything. With the new unit, one camera will concentrate on capturing the action and ensuring good picture quality, while the other is dedicated to just motion tracking.
Another reason that the Move functionality was incorporated into the DualShock is to enable the console know where you're sitting in relation to the TV (and your on-screen character) and you can also take 3D pictures and video and store it on the console.
We still dont know how the Housing is the PS4 will be, but with the console already out i think you can choose from these prototype [spoilers]
not the actual PS4 Unit
 What do you think, will you pick up the complete unit when its out?
or you will wait for xBox 720?

Lo And Behold The New HTC One hands-on [Updated]]

Update:
 

HTC has announced a Developer Edition of its upcoming HTC One flagship smartphone. It will be available only stateside and will cost $649.
The HTC One for developer's version is not carrier-locked also with it will be an with unlocked bootloader and 64GB of internal storage. It will supports quad-band GSM/EDGE (850/900/1800/1900 MHz), tri-band 3G with HSPA (850/1900/2100 MHz) and tri-band LTE (700/850/1900 MHz).
this is to enable developers prepare well for the main thing.

Introduction

HTC has evolved over time with her flag device as HTC one xl , Even after the Taiwanese company released  the first 1080p smartphone in the US with the DROID DNA, followed by the first global 1080p smartphone - the HTC Butterfly and yet its sales have failed to pick up.

There’s no doubt about it — the HTC One is a fine piece of kit. It’s particularly beautiful when viewed from the back and sides, with a semi-pyramidal shape reminiscent of HTC’s own J Butterfly and phones like the Xperia Ion. The front is more staid and channels the BlackBerry Z10. Look a little closer and the attention to detail is staggering — this is a product that stands shoulder to shoulder with the iPhone 5 in terms of materials and build quality.

But the question remains, will this new gadget of theirs turn the tides for the Taiwanese firm? will it increase the love?

The United States have already had the pleasure to meet HTC's DROID DNA, while certain Asian countries and Russia have got the HTC Butterfly. It's now time for the rest of the world to be treated to a 1080p smartphone by HTC with the company's new flagship, dubbed simply One.



The HTC One


Running on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 chipset with four Krait 300 cores clocked at 1.7 GHz, 2 GB of RAM and Adreno 320 the One has a serious stake as one of the best-powered around.


At just 0.37 inch at its thickest point and 0.12 inch deep at its thinnest,this is one crazy-slim device.

The display is a 4.7" 1080p unit backed by the Super LCD3 technology and offering the whopping 469 ppi pixel density. The bezels are very thin, making for smartphone notably smaller than the DROID DNA / Butterfly.







Each side of the screen has a stereo speaker, which are really pretty loud. According to HTC they output 93 dB of sound.

The HTC One is set to premiere Sense 5 - the latest version of the company's custom launcher. The homescreen has b
mAh more than the Butterfly has). You can buy spare batteries up to 4 so that during your long journey in the train or flight you could enjoy loads of movies or games, of testing your instagram features and be rest assured that battery will not run out

The biggest innovation on the lastest HTC One is the camera – behind the bright F/2.0 lens sits a 4MP sensor with Ultrapixels, which are much larger than the ones found in most other smartphones.

Design-wise the HTC One looks somewhat like a BlackBerry Z10 but uses an aluminum unibody, which looks really amazing.

Now the question is, when some extra cash rolls in your pocket, will you consider a change of vendor, will you dump your phone to get a new one from HTC?
