I've long felt that there was a disconnect between a vendor and customer perspective. Their selfish interests didn't always intersect. Or so I thought. One area where vendors may be getting it right is mobile "portfolio". One customer may require a combination of devices depending on use case. They may include phones optimized for email, fully featured smartphones, as well as larger format devices like tablets. While BYOD is an increasingly prevalent trend, there are still advantages to working within a closely knit ecosystem. The more things change, the more they (potentially) can and should stay the same.
