That day is not as far away as most might think given Samsung's commitment to developing fuel cells for wireless phones.

Adding those new mobile devices and providing greater wireless access to data is the easy part for tech organizations.

The two vendors have partnered up to provide McAfee's virus scanning application to wireless phones via Good's services. That means IT managers can ensure that virus protection can be managed remotely without having the devices brought in for security checks. The vendors say it's all about treating mobile network access just like today's desktop landscape. Article
