The Most Secure Android Phone, Ever

VMware has been demoing what sounds like almost identical technology for a while now:<p><a href="http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/IT-watch-blog/like-supermanclark-kent-for-your-phone-vmwares-mobile-virtualization-platform-mvp/" rel="nofollow">http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/IT-watch-blog/like...</a><p>It creates a virtual machine that's hardware encrypted on the device, and actually runs them as two separate phones. Similar full-on or pseudo-virtualized environments have been used on the iPhone, iPad, and other devices to various degrees of success over the years, but I think it is a slight hyperbole to say "this could change the way people use smartphones, entirely".

I don't see anybody ditching RIM yet. Security needs to be proven with a track record. No matter what systems they deploy, there will always be exploits and hacks.

Enterproid does something similar : <a href="http://www.techspot.com/news/45771-enterproids-divide-separates-work-from-play-on-android.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.techspot.com/news/45771-enterproids-divide-separa...</a><p>They call it the Divide platform. The professional side of the device has includes enhanced security, access control, remote wipe capabilities..

"All software installed on Bizztrust-enabled Androids is automatically scanned before the user logs on to their company's network via VPN; if any irregularities are detected, the user will not be able to use compromised apps"<p>What exactly does that mean? Do they keep a blacklist of apps? Perhaps they only mean the "work apps"?

Anyone know if this is open source?

I wonder if they've solved the problem of shipping year old kernels and letting untrusted apps run native code without any explicit permission. Until then, the words "Android" and "secure" should never appear in the same sentence.

If I had to guess, I'd say that these folks are going to make a lot of money.
