Optimize Salesforce.com for mobile devices

Mobile phones are getting better at displaying Internet pages, but the salesforce.com site is still a major challenge. Our Execs & VPs want to be able to look up information without dragging out their laptops, or waiting for 5 minutes for their blackberry to load the salesforce login screen.

Apex Mobile is fine for users that own records, but it isn't helpful for corporate management since they don't own any of the records. The salesforce.com website should be able to be optimized for mobile devices.

SFDC's partnerships with Google should be leveraged, and a joint effort should be kicked off to bring the salesforce.com site to Internet capable mobile devices.

TomaszOczapowski 08/29/07	You don't have to own records in order to see data on your BB. Modify appropriate Profile in Salesforce Mobile console to determine which record is visible and which not.
Bob_Osborne 12/18/07	There are limits on the amounts of records you can view in Apex Mobile if you are not the owner. Also, if you can't get the security correct, you are likely to have to download information to the device that doesn't pertain to the requests that user would want to make.
Larry_Robinson 01/24/08	Salesforce mobile fully respects Salesforce Data access controls and role hierarchy visibility. You can now also search for data, even if its not on the device and have the data retrieved pretty quickly, usually under 15 seconds.
