Android Phones Get Virtualization

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the do-both-run-doom dept.

bednarz writes "VMware is teaming with LG to sell Android smartphones that are virtualized, allowing a single phone to run two operating systems, one for business use and one for personal use. A user's personal email and applications would run natively on the Android phone, while a guest operating system contains the employee's work environment. The devices would also have two phone numbers."

    "Dual booting" would mean you couldn't get a call or text on your "personal" number while your phone was booted into "work" mode. It also means you couldn't get a "work" call or text while your phone was booted into "personal" mode (clearly not as bad the the first one but an issue none the less).
