In fact, half of the 2012 Forbes Fast Tech 25 list has done just that. But the market opportunity for BYOD isn’t only for the up-and-comers, it’s potentially big business. Every one of the world’s top 15 technology companies in the 2012 Forbes Global 2000 list stands to gain from BYOD.

May 03, 2012: BCW: Consumerisation Of IT Or The Working Consumer?
Business Computing World-There’s been a lot of talk about smartphones heralding the end of the voice-only phone era and tablets being “post-PC devices”. These discussions primarily address the physical form factor and the functionality aspects of mobile devices.An insightful paper by Tony Cripps of Ovum (“A PC or not a PC? That is the iPad question,” March 2011) suggests that this change in the mobile computing landscape is down to the battle of the traditional OSes and lite OSes. He states that the reason for the lite OS is the constraints of the newly connected devices, including a reliance on ARM’s RISC-based chip design.Tony makes many interesting points, but I believe that social change is another aspect that must be considered when analyzing the change in the mobile computing landscape.

Jan 02, 2012: ZDNet: Google's New Year resolution must be Android's virtualization
Android version fragmentation is a problem.

And that’s Android Virtualization... I’ve actually seen Red Bend’s VLX and provisioning combination in beta form and to say that I am extremely impressed with what the technology can do is an understatement. It will do for the wireless industry what Virtualization has done for the Datacenter and enterprise computing, which is to say it will be a game-changer.
