More than 15,000 iPads and iPhones.
In numbers.

Os riscos inerentes ao BYOD são grandes como bem demonstra essa matéria da empresa de ferramentas de segurança Sophos.
É por isso que qualquer empresa ou organização precisa considerar criteriosamente seu impacto e as plataformas disponíveis ao planejar uma adoção de dispositivos móveis ou permitir que os dispositivos de funcionários e colaboradores sejam integrados à rede.
Sempre que possível é importante adotar plataformas de qualidade e padronizadas, preferencialmente se oferecem nativamente o conjunto de funcionalidades necessárias ao gerenciamento dos dispositivos e das informações.
A integração simples com o legado (com os investimentos já realizados em políticas de segurança e ferramentas existentes) é outro ponto digno de atenção.
Eu particularmente gosto de trabalhar com o Apple iOS por todos os motivos exposto aqui.
O iOS é talvez a única plataforma móvel de uso geral na atualidade que já implementa nativamente todos esses recursos de alguma forma e isso facilita enormemente o deploy e a gestão pelas equipes de TI, sem os altos custos adicionais com a aquisição de software e ferramentas de terceiros.
A report by Citrix notes that Apple’s iOS is not only the leading mobile platform globally, but is also experiencing the most growth in device enrollment, outpacing Windows Mobile and Android. Apple’s Numbers and Pages were also cited at top productivity apps among enterprise users.
We were told that the breakdown was 120,000 iPads, 100,000 iPad minis, 200,000 iPod touches, and the remaining 210,000 filled by various iPhones.
Ultimate destinations for the hardware varies, with Electronista being told that “more than half are headed to the battlefield, afloat, and to associated support commands. Most of the rest will stay [at the Pentagon].”
The world’s most secure and advanced mobile operating system.
So the Samsung Galaxy S 4 has finally launched with nearly all the major leaks and rumors about the device proving true. There can be no question that Samsung has put everything it could possibly fit into its extra-large ‘Galaxy S IIIS’ as some are referring to it, because it looks much the same as the Galaxy S III. However, as much tech as Samsung has packed into its new flagship, it simply doesn’t tempt me to switch from my iPhone 5.
Me neither.
Just talking about operating systems, it’s clear that the OS that Android “leapfrogged” to become the most-used in the world is Symbian. iOS has never even been close to being the market share leader for smartphones. Look at this chart from Horace Dediu showing handset sale numbers and you get an even starker picture of how “market share” isn’t a relevant measure of the iPhone’s success or position in the market, at any point over the last five years.
