On the 16 July, Gartner has published its view of the enterprise mobility for the upcoming years. It sheds light on such issues, as manageability of mobile devices, need of unification of development environments, rapid growth of the number of vertical applications, problems the infrastructure departments are facing with and importance of evolving user groups and profiles to support different user requirements on applications and devices.
The analysis of the current situation in this sector is precise and very well reflects existing problems. One thing stunned me though. I would not dare to make a prognose till the year 2012 in so rapidly developing technology sector. When I look back at the year 2002, that is also 5 years ago from now, I don't think one could forecast e.g. how many devices would have WLAN on board or what would be an average ROM size. Not that it's unpredictable, I could have said than back it would be "more and better", but no concrete figures with probability.
Statements like 50% of devices will have hardware virtualization support and that is with 60% probability?! What is a value of 60% probability? 60% is slightly more then 50%, which means it may happen just as well as may not.
I mean, one thing is to mention that most probable in the near future there will be no smartphone which does not have bluetooth support or whatever while discussing such issues with colleges or friends. But another thing is to publish such figures in an official research report of such respective body as Gartner. I'm really curious how the guys made their calculations.
