...at least for now. I've read a slew of posts highlighting the potential (and actual) downsides - not least that when total costs are considered, the savings on device purchase can be wiped out by additional support costs.

In reality I do have a tiny number of trusted individuals using their own devices but not for mainstream day to day work - mostly for email collection with ActiveSync. Our policy spells out their responsibility for the company data on their device and the ultimate sanction of a remote wipe.

I still maintain that much of the BYOD bandwagon is hype and that the take-up, as well as the advantages, don't measure up. I'm open to eating my words in future though...
