We’ve already seen handset makers like Motorola going after the BlackBerry crowd and now Google is ready to bring Android to the enterprise users. Today in Tokyo, over 600 IT leaders attended Google Enterprise Day 2010 where Google launched new admin features that make it possible to securely manage Android devices in the Google Apps environment.
The new management features (available in devices running Android 2.2 or higher) include:
These policies will be controlled by a new Android app called Google Apps Device Policy, which should appear in the official Market soon. Another cool feature is that employees can access their business information on their own personal devices (by downloading the app) and administrators can withdraw access to it when they leave the company.
