Coming to your enterprise, next wave of iPhone "killer" devices: HTC Touch Diamond/Sony Ericsson Xperia X1
Summer 2008 is coming and a new wave of mobile devices are being announced. Yesterday it was the long anticipated new batch HTC Touch devices.
As these devices come towards to the consumer (via direct stores and carriers), there will automatically be questions raised to the Enterprise administrator when these employees start bringing these new devices into their work space.. "When can these be supported?", "How can I get my corporate e-mail and apps on them?", etc..
The major good news is that many of these newer devices now are coming with WM 6.1, so using them with your MDM infrastructure and mandating the same settings throughout your environment has become much easier!

For grins, an added comparison with an iPhone, as this new wave of devices appear to attack that premium marketplace:

Together with a new breed of mobile browsers (ie. Skyfire, etc) and graphical display engines (Adobe Flash, Silverlight), it think these high-powered, high-resolution, memory crammed devices will be highly sought after and enter the enterprise space rather quickly!
