If I were the Product Manager over at Good, I would be scrambling to bring secure files to their connected device as well as a webkit. When looking at the business requirements of companies that I have spoken to, it’s: Secure email, calendar, contacts, to-dos first (in that order), next there are rumblings of app talk, but also accessibility to working docs. Good has already shown what could very well be the next way we work; with a little app icon on all your personal devices, you have the ability to work anywhere, anytime, without major disrupt to your personal preferences. The next steps are to keep it to one icon, but add apps and storage:

Apps - Good is not going to be able to bring native coded apps within their sandbox, and why try. They could try to app store within the sandbox, but now you have multiple versions to maintain and not all businesses needs are similar enough for a one size fits most. By bringing in the Webkit, you point the way for companies to deploy HTML5 web apps for their mobile critical business functions: All platforms, no approval process, in your sandbox.

Storage - Dropbox paved the way as to how beneficial this can be to access to all your files over any of your devices. Cloud storage is where all technology is going and cloud apps. With Good already managing the secure connection to them and the corporate infrastructure the freeways are in place to house docs in the cloud for access from these devices. One of the biggest hurdles, but most critical to this releases success, would be to introduce a desktop component in order for users to manage these docs from all their device (Mac & PC).

Home is a place where social objects add value over novelty.

After reading about Social Objects and how they have not quite come into focus, I couldn’t stop thinking about the potential for inanimate objects to talk, have a history, or contain data. It became pretty clear (especially as being a fairly new home owner) that there would be a huge advantage if your homes appliances and components could talk - and not in the conventional use-case of your refrigerator letting you know when the milk is bad.

How about when your furnace needs maintenance, water heater needs scheduled service, air filter needs replacement? With a database handling details about the device, time stamping and alerts - You now can be notified of warranties, end of lifecycle, link to user manuals (could have come in handy when trying to find the oil holes on my furnace), repair history, etc.

This can all be done quite easily with a Stickbits type barcode that links, not to a little web note, but a little more of a robust database (but not overly complex). This way emails can remind you that the air filter has been in for 2 months, roof should be inspected, etc. This would be very handy when purchasing a new house as well - scan the barcodes and now you know exactly what state all your appliances are in the house (e.g. the water heater has about 2 years left).
