✦ Synopsis

Anytime, anywhere on any device

Marketing tells us that a new era of mobility has just begun. Millions of socalled Personal Digital Assistants (PDA) have been sold over the past few years. Together with other mobility technologies like notebooks, mobile phones, wireless LAN, Bluetooth etc. they definitely increase the possibilities for locations and situations where we can access computing power and digital information.

PDAs started to become successful by being privately owned and controlled devices of managers and early adopters to manage their personal information. Applications like calendar, address book, notes, calculator etc. are already built-in. Others like restaurant guides, dictionaries, MP3 players etc. followed and made the devices more successful.

PDAs meanwhile can have storage capacities of several hundred megabytes, and offer full-fledged network access to the Internet or a local company LAN. This gives some IT managers a headache. Current IT security concepts often address only 'traditional' systems like servers, workstations and the network. Furthermore, controlling privately owned computational devices may also be a difficult organizational and political issue, but still needs to be addressed.
