Whether you are an iphone, blackberry, or Android smartphone user the current offering of over 175,000 applications for a multitude of purposes are not to be overlooked by the business user (techrepubic.com, 09/03/2010). Titles include, Evernote (used for general purpose note taking) and Documents to go (an all in one application that supports Microsoft office documents, PDF, & Apple iWork) Let’s not forget the newly released Microsoft Windows Phone 7. The phone uses an operating system that is very different from the current trend toward app- focused phones. Instead it provides active and configurable interface elements called tiles that update on the fly with real information, allowing users to place the tiles that interest them most where they want them on their start screen (microsoft.com, 11/10/2010).
During the last 12 months NMBS has also been developing mobile applications for both java compatible mobile phones and the Apple iphone / ipad. The NMBS software development strategy considers the mobile market as a significant client that requires servicing. NMBS believes that the business user of tomorrow will require ‘real time’ desktop information on a pocket sized hand held mobile platform. NMBS aim to provide this service.
