Who says that iOS isn't represented in
the workplace? According to Good
Technology's quarterly Device
Activations Report, iOS devices
accounted for a whopping 77% of
activations in the sector, an
improvement of 71% from the prior
year. Android's share was 22.7%, down
from 29% in 2011's fourth quarter. The
study was made by Good Technology which provides security for
mobile devices and analyzed activations made by its clients which
includes half the Fortune 100.
The top three devices activated for enterprise use in the fourth
quarter of 2012 were all Apple iPhone models. The Apple iPhone 5
accounted for about 33% of activations, and that was followed by
the better than 20% of all enterprise based activations that belonged
to the Apple iPhone 4S . The first non-iOS model in the top ten was
the Samsung Galaxy S III which finished 6th with slightly more than
5% of enterprise based activations. The only other non-iOS model in
the top ten was the Motorola DROID RAZR which finished tenth. If
we extend it out to the top eleven, then we would include the
Samsung Galaxy S II which finished eleventh.
Tablet-wise, iOS crushed Android in the enterprise with nearly 90%
of all tablet activations in the fourth quarter. While about 55% of all
activations in the fourth quarter for enterprise purposes were iPhone
models, slightly over 20% were Apple iPad variants. Slightly less
than 20% of all activations were related an an Android smartphone.
Windows devices accounted for less than .5% of activations in the
period. Will we see a comeback by BlackBerry once the BlackBerry
Z10 launches in the U.S.?
