Why Googorola could mean faster enterprise adoption of Android

What is the official mobile device platform in your organization? What factors went into deciding on that platform? Do you think it is time to reconsider that decision?

Of course there will be faster adoption. Now that Googlre "manufactures" their own phone they will stop at nothing to make sure the enterprise accepts it. I wouldn't even put it past Google to tweak the Android OS to make the Motorola phones run better than other Android phones.

Oh ya. It is not Motorola but Motorola Mobility. Motorola split in two at the beginning of the year - or you don't read other blogs and news items from this site? [Or just bad blogging.]

Having recently purchased an Android Tablet and smartphone I can say my biggest disappointment is how fragmented android seems to be. So many apps seem to work fine on some phones and not on others. Same thing for the Tablet. This lack of a consistent interface to the hardware and libraries in android for making it happen is a problem. The good thing is that it is a problem Googorola can solve. By creating what amounts to a reference implementation they should be able to help android developers quite a bit.

I'm still amazed that bloggers haven't tackled the problem of Android not being able to access an enterprise network using IPSec with Cisco equipment. Android still does not allow IPSEC group authentication and password, which is required on Cisco gear. iPhone does this out-of-the-box. Hopefully, this acquisition will now get Google of the dime and give us enterprise users the capability we have requested since the first release of Android. Google "Issue 3902" and see the thousands of requests for this functionality.
