Au contraire mon frere. “One and done” seems to have been the Android handset store’s business model. I seem to recall that Google tried selling the Nexus One online. Not sure, but I think Nexus One sold what, 160K units online? And I also seem to recall that Google quietly shut down their online Android store.

But of course, that news was obscured by all the media attention being given to iPhone and iOS. New enterprise-friendly features like wireless app distribution, remote wipe, central policy enforcement, Exchange support, and many others are making iPhone indispensable to enterprise.

And what has Android got, enterprise-wise? Gmail sync. Nice try. We’ll see what Chrome OS can do. Some time in the future, of course. It will essentially replace Android, as Google has publicly stated. And Chrome OS will be web-based. Good luck handling all your enterprise needs with HTML5.
