The explosion in iPhone apps may point the way, with always-on feeds hooked into a variety of media providing a personalised digital experience.
Launches such as Google's Latitude show that location-based services are coming of age, and the technical interface work will soon be widely available.
The days of a mobile device consisting of a screen and keyboard are already gone. Touchscreens are ubiquitous, and the era of wireless, "wearable" devices is around the corner.
This heady combination will be accompanied by increased virtualisation in the business world.
It seems to offer a panacea of browser-accessed secure desktops, complete with all the relevant policies for each employee.
This solves one key problem but creates many others. Implementing a full virtual environment is prohibitively expensive and complex.
It offers a centrally managed model of access and would make savings. Critically, it would allow employees to access systems through a browser on any device.
The key to enterprise security is unlikely to change - to help users to work effectively and to employ a blend of security technologies.
