Good Technology, which was recently sold by Motorola to Visto, had a plenty of news to announce at this year’s CTIA Wireless in Las Vegas. Let’s roll through all of them, shall we:
- First they’ve announced the general availability of Good for Enterprise 6.0, which includes the new Good Mobile Control, Good Mobile Access and enhancements to Good Mobile Messaging. Good Mobile Control offers device management and security through browser-based console that allows IT to monitor mobile devices; while Good Mobile Access provides a managed mobile VPN service that gives employees secure, always-on access to corporate applications behind the firewall without requiring IT to invest time or money in proprietary SDK development. As for Good Mobile Messaging 6.0, it comes with new features designed to enable business users to get things done more easily and to provide greater personalization options: voice-activated dialing, sharing RSS news feeds and scheduled email synchronization intervals. (release)
- Then we’ve heard them debuting Good Works, the new initiative to “deliver on the possibilities of mobility in the business, government and consumer market segments.” It consists of the mentioned Good for Enterprise, Good for Government and Good for You. (release)
- Finally, Good Technology announced the iPhone support, streamlining enterprise iPhone deployments, as a result. With this move, Apple’s handset joins other platforms supported by Good — including Windows Mobile 6 and 6.1, Symbian S60, and Palm OS. (release)
There you have it. Enterprise folks should be happy with these “Good” announcements, right?

The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
