Smart phones are very popular among consumers but have also become very prominent tools for the business sector. Professionals from various fields make use of smart phones of all kinds on a daily basis. Indeed, the world is becoming more acclimated to doing business in the mobile space, which is increasing the focus several companies have on the smart phones that are used in daily operations. As businesses become more reliant on mobile technology, the capabilities of even the most advanced smart phones are proving too limited, at least by the standards of Motorola Solutions.

Company introduces new handheld computer

Motorola Solutions believes that a new generation of mobile device is in order; one that can better meet the needs of the professionals that have come to rely on mobile technology. The company has unveiled its MC45 mobile computer. The MC45 is a rugged handheld device that is significantly more advanced than conventional smart phones and tablets. The device is designed for field workers, but could have several uses for those in other industries of business.

MC45 built to last

The device incorporates the strengths of a conventional computer with the mobility of a smart phone. Motorola Solutions suggests that it could be used by small and medium-sized businesses to keep track of sales and inventory while also conducting numerous other operations as directed by its user. The MC45 is designed to withstand strong impacts, making it resilient in harsh environments. The device also boasts of a three-year lifecycle, while most consumer smart phones are designed to last a year or less.

Motorola Solutions looking to spark a new generation of mobile technology

Mobile technology has become a very important part of the business world and Motorola Solutions is working to introduce a new generation of mobile devices that could better serve the changing needs of businesses. Whether the MC45 will be able to replace the popular Android and iOS platforms that businesses have come to adore has yet to be seen, but Motorola Solutions has high hopes that the device will be able to fare well in a niche market.

BlackBerry 10 officially launched this week

Blackberry 10 launchedBlackBerry 10 now available

The BlackBerry 10 has been officially launched this week, after nearly a year’s worth of delays. Research In Motion, which has changed its name to BlackBerry, has successfully launched its latest, highly anticipated mobile device, which has a very strong focus on mobile gaming. For nearly the entire lifespan of the BlackBerry, the platform has catered to business professionals and enterprises in various industries. Now, however, the platform is beginning to expand its capabilities.

New BlackBerry adopts focus on mobile gaming

While BlackBerry has never been exclusive to business professionals, it has not won the favor of a wide range of consumers because of its lack of consumer-oriented features, such as mobile gaming. The BlackBerry 10 was initially slated for a 2012 release, but Research In Motion decided to delay the launch of the new smart phone several times due to emerging competition in the mobile device market. During these delays, the company hosted several events in which Android developers were encouraged to port their mobile games over to the BlackBerry platform, making these games available for the first time on a platform apart from Android. Many of these developers were provided financial incentives to participate in this campaign.

Mobile gaming may attract attention of new consumers

The BlackBerry 10 boasts of a wide range of features that are likely to be well-received by diehard BlackBerry fans, as well as appeal to consumers suffering from iOS and Android fatigue. Given that the device has become more accommodating of mobile gaming, it may see a great deal of interest from tech-savvy gamers that have long been interested in the platform but had chosen either the Android or the iOS to satisfy their gaming interests.

BlackBerry 10 designed to last more than a decade

According to Research In Motion, the BlackBerry 10 is designed to have a lifespan of at least 10 years. This is significantly longer than most of today’s mobile devices, which have a lifespan of a little over one year. The device’s stronger focus on mobile gaming may come in handy if it is meant to last for over a decade before a new BlackBerry device is released.
