Dual Interface Mobile Devices To Address BYOD Issue

Lucas123 writes "Next year, smart phones will begin shipping with the ability to have dual identities: one for private use and the other for corporate. Hypervisor developers, such as VMware and Red Bend, are working with system manufacturers to embed their virtualization software in the phones, while IC makers, such as Intel, are developing more powerful and secure mobile device processors. The combination will enable mobile platforms that afford end users their own user interface, secure from IT's prying eyes, while in turn allowing a company to secure its data using mobile device management software. One of the biggest benefits dual-identity phones will offer is enabling admins to wipe corporate data from phones without erasing end users profiles and personal information."

If you have to carry a blackberry, you already have to carry a second device for personal use.

So that does not really help.

we heard you like to compute while you talk, so we put your boss's computer in your phone so you can slave away 24/7!
