SAP recently bought Sybase, which made the Afaria platform. This will actually let you set policies across phone types (BB, Android, and iOS) such as device encryption, application restriction, remote wipe, etc. Cross-platform solutions like this are attempting to enable the "Bring Your Own Device" methodology to the workplace. Many of the posts above are very true, though, especially when it comes to Android flavors. It's been noted that the Samsung phones seem to have the most robust encryption, etc.
Now the rub. This tends to be a very expensive solution, and therefore limited to larger Enterprises, so tread lightly and research it (as you should do with any MDM app) before jumping in.

Not sure if this helps, but something to look at.

I may be stupid (probably), but does this mean that an Apple->Google lawsuit is in the works? This seems like positioning for just such an act.
Plz. mattx3@gmail.com, would be awesome. I can turn around some invites, too, I hope.
I've been reading /. for years, but not posting. I would love an invite, if someone has an extra one.
