yep. Android is a great system and choice of devices, but for businesses that don't want to tailor anything directly iOS is better as its easier to get the same exact experience from the phone and tablet currently. However, as Nexus devices mature and tablet specifics for Android grow, that will become a non-issue.

Most big employers are actually allowing the "bring your own device" mentality however. My job is shifting from focus on Blackberry to iOS as we speak for devices they provide. However, the user can provide their own device (of any smartphone) with the condition they accept certain software being installed and the capability that the company can remote wipe the device at any time.

Wait, the issues for businessmen will work themselves out eventually?  Could you expand on that? 

Is it that the android OS isn't as robust or well built, or the fragmentation issue or something else?

Fragmentation is probably the bigger issue here. Google has been taking steps to mitigate this and a big part of that is the Nexus platform.


Oh fragmentation then?  Well that should be the most easily solved issue, I mean google can always just update less and make it a priority to have fewer versions of the platform, but even then I kinda have the feeling that there are better solutions available for those that might have technical know-how, it just escapes me though. 

I also think that google will be improving its google docs since its now becoming a paid product, which should make it more popular with the business crowd if anything.
