I was playing a bit online with my phone and thought “let’s check if wordpress is available for mobile”. And it is: m.wordpress.com. But the functionality is not really advanced. And while I was trying it out a bit, I concluded that for me it’s enough to do a quick note from which I can later create a complete blog entry. But as a complete tool to update my blog…. it’s not user-friendly enough.
Mobile speeds are going up. More and more people are online mobile. So it’s becoming a more important part in the collaboration and work environment. I think good web 2.0 / enterprise 2.0 tools should include mobile functionality. It can be a major success factor.
GMail for mobile: nice
Google calendar for mobile: not nice, only showing your agenda, major functionality is missing.
So Componence decided not to go to Google for company wide mail and calendar (and related), but move to Microsoft Exchange. Of course we are not of key importance for Googles succes, but it’s a clear example of the importance of mobile.

Hey, a goooooood choice.
MS Exchange is really cool stuff. We use it at EPAM and it has so many features that you can explore something new everyday. To not mention that in this case you’ll have all data in your infrastructure, not somewhere overseas on Google servers.
Google Reader also works very good on mobile phones and PDA’s. It is a web-based RSS reader, so I also use it to read the blogs I am interested in.
Once you have setup your account via your computer, you can go to http://reader.google.com on your mobile/PDA and read your subscribed feeds there.
