We suggested a solution and it seems like <em>someone<\/em>, namely O2 may have been listening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The problem is one of security, both yours security and&nbsp;that of the company you work for. Many companies would not allow you to connect a personal laptop to the company&#8217;s Intranet, but by allowing your mobile to connect is essentially running the same security risk. We suggested the solution may well&nbsp;be in having an Operating System that allows you to switch between two completely separate profiles while operating from the same SIM. This could create a clear separation between personal data&nbsp;plus applications, and those used for business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It seems O2 have a solution for this which they deem <em>Dual Persona. <\/em>This is not exactly what we had in mind, and does appear more of a kludge, but essentially achieves a similar goal by using the cloud, combined with VMWare to allow you access to a virtual business phone which can be managed remotely from any location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This solution, for the Android platform will be rolled out by Telefonica (the owners of O2) in Spain during Q2 2012, with the UK to follow shortly. We don&#8217;t think this is an ideal solution to the dual mobile conundrum, but it is certainly a step in the right direction, and as we predicted in our previous blog post, Android&#8217;s open approach has lead the way forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What do you think about Dual Persona?
