@MobileAdmin I appreciate your feedback, and certainly you make a couple of good points. The level of maturity for deployment tools for Android and iPhone are not there yet and there is also an issue of trust with the solution providers for Android and iPhone compared what they have in place today. The CAL issue is important today and will limit adoption of alternative platforms, but I think that eventually a cost effective solution for Android or iPhone will have to manifest itself in order for the platforms to remain competitive solutions for the enterprise.
I disagree that Android and iPhone are strictly for "apps to waste time with." The development platforms for both these OSes are far richer than what BlackBerry offers today, and enterprises looking to extend their applications to mobile are going to be hard pressed not to utilize them.
BTW, given that I work for a company with 350,000+ employees and have participated in large BES implementations for our customers I think I can say I work for a large enterprise.
