Can't help think back in time when phones were literally a different "beast" than today.. This gives a nice recap, enjoy!

“Who hasn't rummaged through their pants pocket or purse looking for their ultra-sleek, super-tiny cell phone and longed for a return to the days when using a mobile phone meant lugging around a 2-pound battery pack and holding a brick to your face?
This three-minute video takes us on a nostalgic trip back to the early days of cell phones. Watch a 1985 Motorola DynaTAC morph into an Apple iPhone, with about three dozen cell models squeezed in between. The video even provides a glimpse of the cell phones of the future.”
BTW, I even found a company that is selling "vintage mobile phones" now: http://www.retrobrick.com :-)

Chris Saint Amant forwarded me this nice graphic: http://www.newlaunches.com/entry_images/1107/12/nokia_timeline.jpg

A few great new tools now available for download from http://tools.enterprisemobile.com!
These new tools can really be useful when trying to use and troubleshoot your SCMDM 2008 installation. Check them out and feel free to give me some feedback on how they could be made even better!
This utility provides a graphical user interface (GUI) for signing CAB files (files used for installing software on WM devices) in order to easily creates secure mobile deployment. Microsoft System Center Mobile Device Manager requires each software distribution to be digitally signed, which may be a challenge for the Mobile Administrator using existing process and procedures. The utility makes the signature step super easy and simple.
GUI CAB Signer Utility provides:
· Graphical User Interface for CAB signing for easier and simpler process
· Enables faster deployment through visual verification of certificate
· Can be installed on any PC running Windows XP or Vista
This utility combines basic troubleshooting tools commonly available on the desktop and widely used by IT Staff and Administrators (ping, traceroute, ipconfig) with some more advance capabilities (ping sweep, speed test) into one package that is compatible with WM 5, WM 6 and WM 6.1.
Windows Mobile IP Utility enables easy troubleshooting of connectivity on Windows Mobile devices, enables and eases out troubleshooting of Microsoft System Center Mobile Device Manager VPN connections and even enables troubleshooting of PCs connected to the same network as the WM device i.e. WiFi network.
Windows Mobile IP Utility provides:
· IPCONFIG for all adapters on the Windows Mobile device
· PING to any host or destination
· PING SWEEP of multiple hosts within the specified range
· Traceroute to any host or destination
