Good article on BYOD.  The authors propose containerization of enterprise apps as a way not to modify the underlying OS and also allow the use to run their own private apps.  It is an interesting solution though they fail to provide an actual solution.  Looking into the references Citrix and VMware are mentioned so I imagine virtualization is what they mean by containerization.  While great, virtualization still relies on the underlying OS to get everything done.  For instance, a key logger installed will capture the key strokes even from the container.  It is a good solution but still lacks total integrity.

As Rick Tracy told me, we want a game changer like iPhone change the whole concept of telephones, smartphones, and communication, we want a solution that just leaves the rest in the dust as irrelevant.
