How will the organizations requirements around mobile affect our existing SharePoint roadmap or the existing configuration \ deployment we have in place and how can we adapt to stay ahead of the mobile curve SharePoint 2010’s Mobile Browser Compatibility SharePoint also supports a wide variety of mobile browsers, which includes: IE Mobile on Windows Mobile 5/6 and newer versions Safari4 and newer versions on the iPhone (3/4) and iPad (1/2) BlackBerry 4.x and newer versions Nokia S60 Openwave 6.2, 7.0 and newer versions NetFront 3.4, 3.5 and newer versions Opera Mobile 8.65 and newer versions Governing Mobile Devices \ Browser Support Another little known fact is that you can govern the specific devices that can access your SharePoint experience and actually redirect the user to a specific template based upon SharePoint recognizing the mobile device’s browser and sending them to the specific template for optimal user experience. I am guessing the detractors of SharePoint 2010’s mobile capabilities have not actually sat down with multiple clients and gathered the requirements, developed, implemented, and successfully rolled out either custom or tailored mobile applications to Fortune 1000 or large government organizations. Technical Note: “In SharePoint 2010, the USERAGENT recognize for accessing mobile browser to redirect to a mobile view is managed by the file “compat.browser” within the server’s IIS directory that manages device profiles (If the web application port is, for example, 80, the file path will be "\inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\80\App Browsers\compat.browser")
2 Comments - Looking at deploying SharePoint to mobile devices should be considered part of an overall enterprise mobility strategy, that should take in to account Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policies and the consumerization of IT and applications. BYOD has steadily gained momentum in the enterprise over the last 18 months and mobile enterprise users will increasingly expect to be able to use their own personal smartphones and tablets to access enterprise systems. Prosumer users are also increasingly demanding that mobile applications have more consumer-friendly UI and navigation. How to support multiple mobile platforms and devices securely is becoming one of the greatest challenges for IT departments in recent times
Thumbnail Case Study: Microsoft Academy Mobile My favorite example of this approach is Microsoft’s Academy Mobile podcasting platform. Paolo Tosolini, whom I know through the Seattle chapter of the Social Media Club, was instrumental in launching and evangelizing Academy Mobile within Microsoft. Paolo describes it as a “YouTube for the enterprise”. Academy Mobile is built on a SharePoint platform and utilizes the SharePoint Podcasting Kit
That’s where SharePoint mobile applications come into play. Reason #3: SharePoint Mobile You can use your mobile devices with close to zero effort. Just add /m at the end of the URL and your SharePoint portal is ready for mobile. But where does the data come from? Logistics applications for routing, scheduling, tracking and other requirements can be integrated with SharePoint and deliver up content to mobile users. Data from the field can also be fed back to those applications

Branding \ UI \ Mockups When implementing a SharePoint 2010 or 2013 deployment, you will get the best user experience and user buy-in if you implement an organizational specific “master page” or look and feel. With mobile being more and more prevalent there are multiple ways to approach this but for this articles sake I would recommend at least some CSS and logo updates to your sites to bring people into the portal
Other organizations may be interested in implementing a professional (social) networking or business intelligence (BI) platform as well as rolling out workflows to streamline business processes while ensuring extranet and mobile compatibility .
