I am going through agony thinking of a business name. It is currently Android Unleashed, but I started getting into alkot more than phone rooting, romming, and recovery. The business is also a focal point for people to hire local freelancers (not started yet), router rooting, iphone jail breaking, recovering deleted messages and photos, ethical hacking, monitoring services for those that would like to RAT their children, and even a financial transaction company. I know a handul of people that have some money in paypal but would rather not wait to order a debit catd.
So all that said. Here are some ideas, but I am still stuck:
- Digital Forensics & Solutions
- Transformed Technologies
- Digital Authority
- Modified by Design
- Digital Redesign Operations
- Modified Mobile Technologies
- Mobile-Tech Solutions
Digital Forensics and Solutions sounds good.

While use of mobile technologies has potential to transform business, making it possible for an organization to be more agile in serving its customers, it can also disrupt IT. The new generation of employees expects complete freedom to use mobile devices, regardless of whether they are company-owned or employee-owned. most IT departments are struggling to define and implement a bring-your-own-device (BYoD) strategy. To a large extent, they still use the old command-and-control model of Windows-based device management, trying to dictate what devices employees can use and how they can use them. But the old model doesn’t work anymore. not only are new devices flooding the workplace, but today’s mobile devices bring a variety of new operating systems, such as ios and Android, and many applications to contend with.
I must say it's an interesting whitepaper that discusses much more than this so I would like to share it with you !
Downloaded it from : bit.ly/yhmWAW
Microsoft is trying to pitch the Windows 8 to business phone users and ability to control and deploy them via their SCCM (SMS), however the popularity of Win 8 and windows phones are horrible to say the least, if Microsoft really wants to turn the tables around, they will need to start giving away Free Windows 8 phones to corporate enterprises, along with their "free" license of SCCM which businesses already gets included when they buy Microsoft license packs.
Blackberry have been the leader on this field all these years due their easy to use Admin Centre and mail server piggy back, hands down there's no real competition yet to kick them out of the king's throne in this area
Android offer the most extensive control, but require geek like us to do it for them (and some business will find this as a hindrance as they need to hire specialized people to do the job), there's no central control system in place, but it's relatively easy to build, reason why Lenovo is jumping into the Android bandwagon with all their new tablets and phones devices running on Android, as IBM + Lenovo they always take care of the Corporate enterprises for other companies, basically they are in the right spot at the right time, if all goes well Blackberry is going to lose its crown
End users choice will always be the iDrones, however it's the device with the least control by third party, and the one that is the most popular among end users.
HP tried hard with their WebOS, but failed miserably at trying to reproduce the success of its predecessor PalmOS in the business world.
... All that being said....
If work places are to allow people to BYOD then it means the IT team will need to have a GPO set to roll out to any new Windows phones that joins the SCCM system, also will require BlackBerry users to join to the new Domain (which is relatively easy as most updated BB phones are already ready for both personal + business mails and settings lockups), will need a new Android specialist, to either load customized ROMs or some alternative with a custom App that must be installed in their phones and let IT department control the phone, and Ban the iDrones from the workplace; clearly it's meant as an entertainment device instead of an enterprise ready phone

Not true. Also not sure if you're being sarcastic. I rep Android to death (ANDRIZZLE). But seriously I work at an Apple Specialist store and with all the courses I had to take to become proficient here I've realized that Apple is trying very hard to push iPhones and iPads into businesses. They actually fit quite nicely with simple to use MDM controls and separate custom profiles for IT to set up for the end user.
Honestly, I think Android is the worst OS to bring into the business world, unless someone can come up with a RedHat for Android. And by that I mean a stable uniformed release for mass consumption. There's too much control to be had over the device by the end user no matter what IT sets up for it to be uniformed across a company like they would need it to be.
Blackberry are the Kings of business mobile right now. They will be until somehow steps up and makes a serious effort to point their whole company in the direction of business. But seeing as how that's only a small percentage of what they actually could have nobody will probably do that. It works well for blackberry because they've already realized that they aren't getting any more popular with the kids and have been able to focus on the strategies of effective business management capabilities being built into a phone.
That's my 2 cents there.

Visit Sendie: indiegogo.com/projects/sendie-pay-designers-safely/x/5281774
Hey!
We're Sendie, and we are out to change the world (We're starting with the design world, duh!). We a creative bunch of designers and developers and Sendie is our brainchild. We all ran into trouble transferring files and money and I (Luca Frost) had the idea for Sendie. And on Halloween 2013, coding of Sendie began. It started with just me and my business partner, but our team grew and grew. Now theres 5 of us... And we're team Sendie!
What exactly is Sendie?
Well, Sendie lets designers and clients make secure transactions. Steve (The Buyer) and Dave (The Seller) have met each other and Steve wants a website making. Steve and Dave register on Sendie and once the website is complete, Dave uploads the files and once Steve is happy, he pays and gets the files instantly. Dave gets paid automagically once Steve confirms that he is happy. Thats the magic of Sendie
So, whats the plan, Stan?
In order for Sendie to run successfully, we need funding. So here is the complete list of everything we need funding for... This is per year.
Cloud Infrastructure Hosting (Our Website & Servers) - £420
Secure Payment System - £300
Google Adwords (Marketing) - £3648
Site Security - £100
Misc... (Domains, Antivirus & DDoS Protection Tools) - £350
If the project is successfully funded, Sendie will launch... Woosh! | If it's not we will try to launch as best as we can.
Risks and challenges
As with any project like this, there is a risk. We need people to use Sendie, thats why our Google budget is £10/day. If the project is not successfully funded, we will need to cut corners with costs. Adwords is our first priority though.
Hello everyone,
We're trying to create a new open-source app distribution platform named Spheris, using blockchain technology. We are really interested in your thoughts – both devs and users. We're also open for possible collabs for those who are interested.
We’re utilizing Ethereum’s blockchain technology to build Spheris as a decentralized platform. This makes a lot of cool things possible:
No registration and transaction fees, as opposed to traditional app marketplaces who charge up to $100 for registration and 30% per each transaction. No technical restrictions or censorship. Optional anonymity. Forget about the need for credit card companies or banks – you will be able to buy and sell apps using our digital currency (Spheris tokens), with the option to exchange for other digital currencies (such as Ethereum or Bitcoin).
Customers will be able to purchase apps without going through registration and without credit cards. We’re also trying to accommodate devs whose apps have been removed from Google Play for questionable reasons.
Your Feedback = Extremely Important
We are in the early process of gathering valuable feedback from devs, and see if this is a platform that devs would like to be on. For users – do you guys see this as a platform you would buy apps from? Would love to start a discussion! For devs - have you had bad experiences with app stores (de-listing, ranking issues, not being accepted etc)? Does the concept of decentralization sound like something you might want to be a part of?
If you need more info, have a look at spheris.io or just ask me here.
Your questions and feedback are much appreciated,
Thanks
PS - apologies if this isn't the right forum for this topic!
