Yesterday, my colleague Rohan Pinto unveiled POssO, an iPhone-based portable adminstration console for OpenSSO.  This application blends the visual coolness and portability of the iPhone with the industrial-strength Identity Management in OpenSSO.

As I viewed an introductory video available on YouTube and Sun Learning Exchange, I thought of three key principles of innovation demonstrated by Rohan’s application:

• The OpenSSO open source development model leads to true innovation.
• The iPhone’s appeal is due more to it being an innovative application platform than to it being a telephone.
• Rohan’s passion, not paycheck, drove this innovation.

Congratulations and many thanks, Rohan, for this outstanding contribution to the state of the art.
