Not sure about Android 4.0 but iPhone has supported more ActiveSync policy management than Android for some time. Specifically around app-store access.

However all bets are off once ether is rooted / jailbroken.

Developers are not end users... they are some level of engineer, as they are BUILDING things for end users to use... They should be reading some kind of docs before choosing tool / function they use for the job... the more powerful the language the more you need to know.

In your example the developers should be the ones that build the BAD CAR with the exploit in it that was sold, they where not the poor end users that purchased it.

Your example is still a failure of the developer understanding the tool which caused the problem, not the tool missing an alternate secure way to do it.

Most web app exploits ARE the developers fault!
- They don't check their inputs (length) buffer over flow
- They parse or merge database commands (SQL injection)
- They don't limit abuse (brute force retry attacks)

Yes some of these can be mitigated at other levels, but ALL are common APPLICATION DEVELOPER ISSUES! by measure of deployment to number of exploits I would say the programing languages and OS already do a MUCH better job than the application developers...

Fair enough, BB OS 10 adopts active-sync removing much of the dependance.

What about Siri? Or MobileMe/iCloud? Even Gmail has unexpected outages. Those are consumer features or services.

For Enterprise Email, calendaring and directory a current gen BB device simply has more points of failure to hop through before you get the message.

ActiveSync is Exchange->Internet->Device
BES BB7 and below is Exchange->BES->RIM->Internet->Device two additional points of failure.

Also if you check the news for the ONLY platform with centralization to the point of causing National/ North America wide device outages, and being forced to hand over some control to other governments by building in centralization in a specific way, you have RIM..

On the plus side we haven't had a nation wide outage on RIM in over a year, must be all the surplus capacity. We started to see a surge in iOS device uptake during the last one.

Playbooks and BB OS X devices will REQUIRE mobile fusion on top of BES. Mobile fusion is barely out of beta. If you manage blackberries and don't know this you might also want to go check out the License cost for this upgrade, you might be shocked.

I agree, looking around Good, would be the closest off the shelf solution, it would also work with iOS devices giving you access to BOTH the most popular platforms right now..

Because starting from scratch on RIMs BB right now could be suicide...

- New OS devices coming in the fall with a new untested management platform
- Over stock of current gen devices they can't sell ( way under powered compared to WP, Android, iOS)
- Bleeding management
- Laying off huge amounts of staff.

Super heating a capsule, then dumping it into salt water for hours isn't cut and dry... There are MANY things that could go wrong..

Also if the stuff they sent back is smashed to bits from a hard landing, then well they have lots of work to do before sending humans.

Touched down intact, but I wouldn't declare it safe till they recover it and open it... Re-entry is a bitch...

On long mountain roads far to often I see someone try to aggressively pass long sets of cars only to have to abort half way, causing other drivers to let them in quickly to avoid an accident..

I wonder if this road train would let them in.

I suspect if it ever made it to market Cisco would have buried it in licensing costs for every feature.

Have you ever tried to provision their VoIP systems? You are typically in for 4 CALs per phone right off the bat for dial tone and voicemail. That is after paying double for their hardware vs similar SIP or UC handsets from other vendors..

You already have to update passport and drivers license photos ever few years why would it be difficult to update the iris scan to increase accuracy?

No the question is can it run minecraft in minecraft... As that is the on going quest of many. It has been done to some degree at least in a primitive 2D form.
