Aeroprise Index Of Wireless Activity IOWA gained 7.07% to 172.6, its largest one-month gain since November of last year. The gain is largely attributable to mobile and wireless software stealing headlines with high-profile stories like the release of Windows Mobile 5.0, BlackBerry's three millionth subscriber, or the wireless email war that is heating up between heavyweight BlackBerry and challengers like Visto, Seven, and Intellisync. As mobile technology proliferates, issues that affect mobile workers that were once relegated to tech journals are increasingly infiltrating mainstream media publications. A case in point is this Wireless In The World story in the current issue of Newsweek's International Edition that analyzes 10 cities "on the front lines of the wireless revolution."

Industry Buzz Tekrati Research: Five Companies Honored for Mobile Tech Demonstrations at Mobile Showcase 2005 Strategy Analytics: Integration Remains Wireless Field Force Automation's Achilles Heel Tip of the Month: Toss That Pager! Pager got you down? Sick of all that buzzing and beeping? Create generic alerts that can be customized by users. They'll only get triggered when something relevant happens. For example, maybe everyone should be notified when an urgent problem is assigned to them based on their skillset and work schedule. But what about when a potential problem is urgent for one technician for just one week? What if an important meeting is happening Friday or the CEO has a big presentation? Here's what you do: From the Administration Console, create an alert template that can be refined by one or more users. From the Personalization Console, they can select the right application and click 'Modify Alerts'. When they do, it appends to your alert template just for them. Leave the buzzing and beeping to your competitors. Trivia Question: PDAddiction Question: How many PDAs were shipped in the first quarter of 2005? (a) 3.4M (b) 5.6M (c) 8.2M (d) 11.0M (e) 25.3M source: Gartner [answer in next month's newsletter] Last month's question: What was the average monthly wireless (voice and data) phone bill in the US at the end of 2004? (a) $225.09 (b) $87.63 (c) $50.64 (d) $23.38 (e) $13.94 Last month's answer: The average US wireless bill at the end of 2004 was (c) $50.64. Fear not if your bill is a little higher. If you're reading this you probably aren't the "average" wireless user. If, however, the notion that anyone spends just $50.64 per month sends you into cardiac arrest we recommend you speak with your carrier about volume discounts...and your physician.
