Corporate Work Phone -- Galaxy S4 or a 2nd Iphone

[chagla]

can you get even more snobbier and justify ios shortcomings?

being able to attach any file on Android is just ONE OF MANY WAYS you can manage/share your files in any way you like. you can go to any computer and transfer with or without wires (no special software needed), you can share with other devices using bluetooth, NFC or wifi. you can of course email too. the main point is you have control over your content/files and your phone.

you state few things without backing up with sources. apple winning BYOD? really? also a real corporation would not like their files and contents being stored at third party clouds. so no matter what you say, email attachment is the acceptable method.

i had a good laugh at your example of how accomplished ios users are and have minions to do their tasks. security conscious ios? again lol. how do you encrypt ios device? go further and accomplish in life, i need to get out of green bubble? wow, that's the magical formula we're all looking for. man, i wish i read your post earlier.

This whole "android lets you attach any file" argument is silly. If you are creating content solely on your smartphone for your corporation, then maybe you'd have a point. But nobody is doing that....they create content on a laptop and occasionally need to forward it on to others when away from their desk via the email on their smartphone. There's Dropbox, Vault, Box and hundreds of other ways to do this efficiently.

Real corporations would likely require that you quit clogging up Exchange servers as document management systems and send links to the document revisions on corporate file shares, Wiki or Sharepoint. File attachments is such Luddite old-school behavior.

Only a peon cube dweller uses their Smartphone like this. Executives read attachments from their phones, more often via their tablets. For this iOS mail is far more than adequate, and the Exchange integration and folder synch is superior. They tweet-mail requests to peons to go do the work. And expect it done professionally by others on a real PC.....not some half-crap done on a smartphone. What a stupid, non-use-case argument.

And as for videos and picture attachments....number one use for a camera phone in corporate world is snapping a pic of notes or drawing on a whiteboard. Then sending to a peon to convert to Visio or PowerPoint.

This is why Apple has already won the BYOD fight at the corporate level. Exchange friendly. Security conscious. Choice of power brokers. Peons that want to go further get themselves out of the green bubble club as fast as possible. And any smart iOS wielding executive has both iMessage and SMS enabled...just for profiling purposes.
