Will Google Apps Make The Nexus One Enterprise Ready

At CES this past week, Google executive Andy Rubin said that the next version of the Nexus One phone will be for the enterprise. It could have a physical keyboard.

Our bet is that Google Apps will be tightly integrated into the Nexus One enterprise phone. Google syncs every Android phone to a Google account. The next step seems logical. Sync Google Apps with the Android.

With Google Apps integrated, a customer could assign employees a Nexus One smartphone that is tied centrally to the account. As described on Ars Technica, each device could have its own Google Voice number. The smartphones could be then distributed to employees. Billing would be centralized and the employees would have a managed suite of applications for email, messaging, calendering, contacts and more.

In the end, Google may be the winner simply also by offering features that are as available on the Nexus One as on a Blackberry device. A core Google strategy is to develop features that cut across the consumer and enterprise. That’s apparent in a feature announced today that allows Blackberry users to search email and contacts with a new Google application. You can perform the same function on a Nexus One.

But he Nexus One has a long way to go before it can really compete with the Blackberry or the iPhone.

With that in mind, here are some security features that would make the Nexus One more compelling for the enterprise.

Hardware Encryption

Hardware without encryption, the Nexus One will never meet corporate security standards. The iPhone and Blackberry both have the necessary features.
Remote Data Deletion

A smartphone is a smartphone loss vulnerable. Android does not support the ability to delete data remotely. Like encryption, this is a must have feature for the company.
Security Settings

Blackberry has the ability for IT companies to lock the device. This is related to remote data wiping. Android security needs of this company to the company’s ability to be ready.
Signing applications

IPhone requires signing the application. Certificates may be withdrawn at any time by Apple. This helps protect against malicious applications. Android device does not require a trusted authority signed the certificate.
It’s Still Early

We know little about what is planned for the Nexus One. But we can not expect it will have great appeal in the company. It’s so new to the market. OS is still very nascent in its development. Even with the integration of Google Apps, company managers must look at how the OS and its security features measured before giving a green light.
