Android.....Bad for buisness

Data Might Be Inadvertently Revealed to Other People

What are the things that we can do to make sure that our data is ours alone? We suppose that keeping our mouths shut would be the best option. But what if the information was somehow divulged by a person who was curious enough to check your phone out? Remember, it’s not the software’s responsibility to keep you from accidentally whistle blowing unwanted things to the public, even if you did not actually directly took a hand to reveal those things.
Again, we might just be thinking too much on this, although the chances of information accidentally leaking out is a possibility that we could probably never dismiss completely.  And speaking of revealing information sooner or later…


Back to the point

As a guy who spends way too much time in Google apps, I look forward to testing Android now and as it develops. I need my Gmail straight away, and would expect to see support for Google Docs materialize at some point, at least via the browser. Now that it's launched, though, it's easy to see some obvious weaknesses to Google's Android strategy, starting with a lack of target user. Jesus explained why average consumers may not fancy the hodgepodge open-source UI of the G1, but business users really get the shaft here, too. At present, Android poses no threat to BlackBerry or even Windows Mobile, and makes the iPhone platform's restrictiveness sound like a sales pitch.Let's start with the obvious: No Exchange server means no corporate push email. This didn't catch us off guard, as there were rumors that the G1 would launch without it. However, we were surprised by the sheepish looks on the Google executives' faces when reporters pressed the matter. "We expect this to be solved by third-party developers," was all that they said. Yes, it is true that some very nice mobile email management has come from third parties such as Good (now owned by Motorola). But the fact that the Android team isn't spearheading the integration of push email means it doesn't think of enterprise apps as a priority. Jump from there to the lack of desktop syncing. I am with all the people who like the fact that mail and calendar data syncs over the air (for "free")—it is a great consumer service. But if you can't connect to an exchange server. 

and desktop Active Sync, to Outlook is out of the question too, well, that means hordes of suit.


Mistrust Level is Relative to Time

We have to remind you that using android monitoring software for a period of time is like building up pressure from a steel vessel. The pressure builds up as “bad” gases (usage data) get accumulated over time. When it bursts, it would unleash a force that directly reflects your level of trust for that person. Would you like to imagine how it would feel like when it is revealed that you are actually being watched all this time?
Remember that the implications of undisclosed information being suddenly revealed are directly proportional to the length of time that it has been successfully kept hidden. Perhaps the most obvious advice for this is to keep your vigilance in NOT getting that information revealed.
One important note before we end the article. This article was never written with the intention of keeping other people from using cell phone monitoring software. Treat the arguments and statements here as a crude reminder, that even such highly systemically software is not perfect, and could also suffer from drawbacks and shortcomings that could lessen its overall efficiency
