Thanks for visiting my site mobileMinds.com, I'm Corey McLaughlin, I am a father, husband and tech blogger. I use this site to write about mobile products and technology in general since 2000. My passion for mobile products started with my first Palm Pilot that my mother-in-law gave me for Christmas in 1998. Since then I have tried just about every major PDA and SmartPhone on the market.
In 2001 I co-founded a small software company called Soft Pocket Solutions, L.L.C. we developed a Pocket PC application for tracking and reporting business expenses. We introduced several ground breaking features including, desktop sync'ing information entered on the Pocket PC, automatic software updates both desktop and Pocket PC clients, and error message reporting. Sync'ing the expense reports created on the mobile device back to your desktop, make any changes on the desktop and automatically sync the information into an Excel spreadsheet formatted for your company. While today just about every piece of software you get does this, however when we did it this was not the norm. Our goal was to provide the best customer experience by creating the an easy to use user interface. The company was shut down in 2007 due to the lack of time I could dedicate to this business having maintained a day job.
My day job has had me in positions to manage most of the US in defining and implementing marketing and channel strategy for Security and Healthcare verticals over the past 15 years. The technologies I have worked with over the past 15 years include Enterprise Access Controls, Enterprise Digital Video solutions including Video Analytics and in Healthcare I have focused on Improving Staff to Patient Communication using technologies like VOIP and SIP. The key in all of these businesses is the ability to integrate all important systems into an over all solution for the end-user.
Mostly what you will find here is my prospective on mobile technology, what's good and bad about the decisions company's make with the newest products and the impact to the overall market or customer experience. There are a lot of great advancements been made right now but some are not as thought through as they should have been. I hope my comments would provide the spark needed to get companies to think through the entire product and the impact on it's customers. If this is done the growth they would see would be dramatic while building a deeper more personal connection between technology and the end-users,
