Despite the odd bit of criticism received to date, Android is positive step for the mobile industry.

Google should be applauded for developing an open-source operating system that actually encourages more application developers to get involved, rather than locking them out.

Furthermore, as developers have been working with the Android platform for many months now, Google should have the advantage of being able to offer customisable devices to both businesses and consumers alike within the near future.

What’s being overlooked here is the security angle, particularly as mobile devices continue to become smarter and more functional. If people are tempted to use their mobiles for both personal and business use, they must take caution or risk their sensitive company information falling into the wrong hands. As the boundaries blur between consumer and business devices, companies must look to establish stringent user guidelines to minimise any potential risk to the organisation.

Devices such as the iPhone may well be adopted for enterprise use, however they remain first and foremost high-end consumer products. What’s interesting is the security angle here, as these devices are much more likely to catch the eye of thieves. If people are tempted to use iPhones and BlackBerrys for both personal and business use, they must take caution or risk their sensitive company information falling into the wrong hands. As the boundaries blur between consumer and business devices, companies must look to establish stringent user guidelines to minimise any potential risk to the organisation.
