Citrix highlights the explosion of mobile devices is a huge challenge for IT organizations in many enterprises today.

The emergence of Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) in Asia – and the mobile work styles that it enables – brings with it benefits to the enterprise including a more productive and happier workforce, and increased efficiency.

However, allowing employees to bring their smartphones and tablets into the workplace to access the corporate network, business applications and enterprise data also means security is a much bigger issue given the multiple access points the IT team will need to secure.

Therefore, enterprise require an approach extends beyond device management to include mobile application, as well as content and services management. This allows IT to enable the end-user to be fully productive without compromising on security requirements.
Dino Soepono, Director of Enterprise Mobility for Citrix in Asia Pacific, shares why effective enterprise mobility management requires both devices and apps to be managed, and what makes a good Mobile Application Management software.

Pokémon! It is a game we grow up with and the type that new generation gamers will definitely fall in love with. Personally, I am positively infatuated with the game. There are times I hated some aspects of it, whereby Pokémon designs are getting weirder. However, give it time and I will fall in love with it again. While waiting for the new Pokémon X and Pokémon Y to be released in October 2013, let's take a look at the most current game it offers: Pokémon Black Version 2. This time, things take a turn for the better

Pokemon Black/White Version 2

So, how different can it be? Let's see: every time a Pokémon game is released, some sort of sequel will follow up. Pokémon Red/Blue has Yellow, Gold/Silver has Crystal, Ruby/Sapphire has Emerald and Diamond/Pearl has Platinum. These are essentially the same game but with add-on storylines or events and a change of Pokémon appearances. Unlike the rest of the series, Pokémon Black/White Version 2 is a direct sequel with an all new storyline and sequence of events. So

WeChat, a mobile social communication application, holds on to the top of the free app chart for six consecutive weeks as the top downloaded mobile social application on Google Play and App Store in Malaysia. Currently, it has a 60% penetration rate in Malaysia amongst its smartphone users.

Lenovo calls this the “rip and flip” concept and it’s quite interesting to look at.

Lenovo has brought the new ThinkPad Helix into the country. A premium product, they hope to use this convertible to bridge the gap between tablets and notebooks. Particularly for those who have the need to keep moving about and don’t want to lug around multiple devices. Not to say that convertibles haven’t been popular, but the pickup of these types of machines hasn't entirely been overwhelming.

As addressing the usual problems with these sorts of things, the Helix is designed as a high performance Ultrabook; built with a third generation Core i7 processor. Also, unlike other convertibles; this one can both flip the screen 180 degrees and split from the keyboard. Lenovo calls this the “rip and flip” concept and it’s quite interesting to look at.

All this comes with quite a hefty price tag of RM6,500. Which may turn some potential buyers off, but you do get what you pay for here.

Seemingly harmless, but wait until you try it.
Once in awhile, I get sick of my earphones. Mostly because of how uncomfortable it gets during my gaming and communication time. With that in mind, I turn to Edifier K820 that is lying around the in the office. Sitting on the table looking harmless, what else can I do? As I power up my notebook, I swear I can see the headphone smirking as though it expected it...

Keep It

The K820 really does seem innocent. Most of the time, these headphones love visual flairs. It makes the brands stick out and will probably grab a lot of attention. However, Edifier decides to camouflage this in black. Decorations are close to none aside from the glossy plastic on the drivers and microphone. Then, the headphone jumps and sticks to my head and I must say that it is super comfortable. The K820 can be an alien trying to suck all my blood out but the comfort level it has is so amazing that I don’t really mind it.

Later, it tries to blast countless tunes to my brains via its drivers. Let’s
