Only 14% of apps address enterprise needs
Rating: research2guidance looks at ‘off the shelf’ apps
The number of enterprise-relevant apps has doubled from 100,000 to 200,000 over the past 12 months (Q1 2011 to Q1 2012), according to research2guidance.

Yet still the handset refuses to keep quiet. GoMo News appears to have discovered a serious bug in the deletion of this particular app. The whole thing with the Drivesafe.ly app started when GoMo News discovered that two version of this app were actually included in RIM’s Thank You Gift campaign. (See our previous story here). Continue reading
