Could You Handle the Mobile Device – Only Challenge? 

Could you handle being all-mobile all the time? I’m talking about throwing away your PC, Ultrabook, tablet, home phone, desk phone and all other tech devices to be nothing less than completely and utterly mobile.

Impossible you say? Well Benjamin Robins, the co-founder of Palador Inc., took this challenge several months ago. Bob Egan of Forbes had an opportunity to interview Ben on his mobile-only personal and professional life. Here’s a look at his interview:

“For one year, you will work mobile device – only. What does that mean?

Mobility is perceived to have many limitations when it comes to getting the job done. My mobile-only initiative offers a counterpoint to debunk the myth that mobile devices are merely for content consumption and not for creation. Mobile-only is about breaking free of the PC paradigm. For the next year, I am working solely from a smartphone as my only compute device.

The idea wasn’t just to replace all the PC equipment with mobile equipment, but to really consolidate the compute experience to a single device. The hypothesis is, do I really need to carry all this stuff around with me or can I accomplish computing, communication and creation from a single device?

While many people talk about the idea of mobile device – only, you’re making it a reality.

That’s right. Beyond dispelling the fallacy of mobile limitations, the point of the project is to walk the walk, not just talk the talk. I believe we are at a tipping point in this industry where the mobile ecosystem can support this type of endeavor. I certainly aim to find out. During the course of the year, I am taking stock of my user experience, device performance, information security attributes and the application capabilities. From a practical sense, these attributes create the divide between the fiction and the realities of people cutting the cord and going mobile only.
