JOIN US: This is a chat-based conversation about what new mobile devices and apps are out there to help us work from home during the pandemic. Samsung's new 5G phone is among the pioneers. We'll have expert guest hosts!
This has been a very useful discussion. Want to thank Jim and Rich, who brought excellent perspective to our community round table today. Normally, we have a lot more interaction, but a change in time/date will impact it, for sure!
Sidebar: A very cool feature of CrowdChat, BTW, is that you can save this conversation link and all the brainpower that went into it. Also a great way to know who knows what on this topic for reference.
Q5: Generally, what trends are you seeing in new mobile apps? Suddenly I'm seeing a ton more video collaboration apps, and wondering which one has the best quality! Can't test them all!
I agree and believe the jury is still out. Different apps have different strengths depending on what type collaboration. Given the volume of use during this pandemic, I believe there will be some that learn from this and rise to the top.
Apps should take less code and manual testing in the future. hopefully this leads to an explosion of new collaboration tech - more samples to try as if we're wandering through an endless costco of new mobile apps
This is the first time since January 2013 we've held an #eWEEKchat on a day other than a Second Wednesday! We'll just have to get used to Second Tuesdays!
We'll go with one more question shortly, try and identify some takeaways, and call it a day after that. Lot of good info here in a laid-back discussion!
Q4: How is the increasing use of machine learning and AI natively and through the cloud in our smartphones and laptops changing the way we work and play?
It has an enormous impact professionally and personally - to big for 280 characters - but the volume of data available to us in a mobile environment, and the analysis of that data before we receive it, is growing at such staggering rate.
My question is: Can we actually control ALL that new data coming into systems and use it for good? Lotta companies struggling with that right about now
a4. We saw AI-enabled cameras in transportation changed how insurance companies viewed driver policies and now how AI + AR/VR can help maintenance workers become more efficient on the frontlines from F-16s to class 8 trucks, all using devices w/ smartphone guts
In regard to using all the data for good, I think the greater risk is having "bad actors" get their hands on enterprise data and use it for bad. That is a big concern for our customer base
right now it seems like the wild west. how do you have god mode over the smartphone or laptop your app is riding on? security vulnerabilities make control a challenge. and if you do have all the data, how can you create insights that is commercially valuable?
where you have full control of the entire stack, from hardware drivers to OS, to how your apps are using resources on your device and to have the ability to change the rules.
