Mobile app developers [x]cube LABS put together this infographical snapshot of mobility adoption in the enterprise workforce.
It gives a good global overview of the types of mobile workers, their devices and preferences.
Apparently, younger employees prefer the Apple and Android smartphones, while older employees prefer BlackBerrys. True?
Check out the infographic below, and let us know what you think.
This is what tablet adoption looks like - to me, at least: it starts with fanboys, queueing outside in the rain; it gets handed down to parents (who bug its original owners with support queries!); we want to take ours into work; the IT department resists, then finally caves in.
We’re not quite there yet. We’re stuck at stage 2, helping our parents with their iPad-me-downs. But, don’t get me wrong, the tablet is making its way into the workplace, whether enterprise-issued or as part of a “Bring your own device” policy.
This infographic shows what’s happened so far and the trends that’ll encourage tablet adoption in enterprise in the coming years.

Do you need to ‘be there’ to be in business? That’s the question The Economist Intelligence Unit asked 862 business leaders in its survey, sponsored by Cisco.
And it’s a prescient question, as distributed teams, like our own, are fundamentally changing how organisations deal with colleagues, partners and customers, separated by long distances.
Long distance relationships
Is in-person communication as powerful as we think it is? Or can we make it work over the airwaves?
Find out the results of The Economist and Cisco’s survey in the infographic below - and let us know what you think in the comments.
The Power of In-Person Communication

“Honey, I’m home!” is a phrase seldom heard nowadays, or said with much enthusiasm, when more than 40% of the workforce works from home, and only 20% of all jobs require physical activity - compared to 50% in the 1960s.
This shift to sedentary work has happened without much of a change to exercise rates. As a result, obesity has doubled and, as this infographic demonstrates, your work is probably killing you.
It’s a stark reminder to take frequent breaks, walk around - work mobile, if you can - and try to defend yourself from your own work.

Here’s a sobering thought: According to anti-theft device maker Kensington, one in ten laptops will eventually be stolen.
I’ve been lucky - and I’ve even left my laptop in a crowded bar!
But laptop security is a serious thing: we’ve posted about insurance for mobile workers in the past, as well as 5 ways to protect your laptop when working on the move.
Here’s more about the cost of stolen laptops, tablets and smartphones in infographic form from Kensington. (Don’t you just love infographics?)
Oh, and when you’ve taken a look, let us know in the comments what steps you take to protect your devices and data.

You know how we love infographic time at WorkSnug! And this is an interesting one. It talks about the Internet Revolution as a Generally Good Thing - and I think we’re all in agreement on that! But it highlights its inequality in America.
Did you know that…?
What the infographic doesn’t cover is mobile broadband and computing. We shared results from iDG’s iPad survey, which showed the other side of the coin, namely mobile computer usage amongst business and IT professionals in the US.
The mobile computing revolution may have started, but as the infographic below demonstrates, it will likely leave some people behind.

We were delighted to come across this infographic, which shows that tea and coffee, it turns out, aren’t that bad for you. In fact, they’re pretty amazing.
We hear from our community, and know all too well ourselves, how critical tea and coffee is to the mobile working experience.
A hot drink kick starts our day, gives us a boost in the afternoon; it even acts as ‘rent’ when working on our laptops in cafés.
The infographic below shows the health benefits of tea and coffee, so you can rest assured: not everything you enjoy is bad for you :-)
