What have you got against the iPhone?
Oh, yea, Apple writes better software and who here would tout the best?

Enterprise mobile application company Good Technology has released secure productivity software for the iPhone and Android, including the first remotely wipable email client for Google's mobile platform.
The Good for Enterprise apps, comprising secure email, calendar and contacts, were announced on Monday. The apps themselves are free, but only work with paid-for Good for Enterprise server software.
"There is no denying that Android devices are some of the hottest devices on the market right now," Good Technology marketing chief John Herrema said in a statement. "Over the next year, we expect to see even more demand for secure access to enterprise data and applications from a wide variety of Android devices, including smartphones and netbooks."
The Android and iPhone applications encrypt and isolate enterprise data from personal data held on the handset, which makes it possible to wipe enterprise data without affecting the user's other data and applications. IT managers can manage all their users' handsets from a web-based console.

RE: Android gets enterprise-grade email app
The iPhone wasn't mentioned most likely because it already has an enterprise ready email app. Android already has one as well. So, not sure why this Good software would be needed. Better encryption maybe? The one positive we see with Android is that the Android email app doesn't lock your AD account when you change your password. With the iPhone, you have to put the phone on airplane mode while you change your AD password.

Androids mail app is not at all enterprise ready...
It doesn't support anything but the most basic active sync functions.
No remote policies/remote wipe or anything.

Re: Androids mail app is not at all enterprise ready
True, it doesn't have those things yet. But, from what I've seen it works pretty well with what it does have. My company now has 4 of them in deployment. We have about 20 iPhones to support.Mavtech10th Dec 2009 -
