Kolide by 1Password ensures that if a device isn’t secure, it can’t access your apps.
Interesting observations from Marc Hedlund, who’s owned “one Newton, two Blackberrys, three Palms, and three Treos”. He praises the iPhone’s network threading, but dings the keyboard:
The iPhone keyboard blows. Let’s not mince words, here: text input was better on a Newton. The keys are way too close together, full stop. The auto-suggestion works okay if you’re typing dictionary words (and not, say, street names, as in the Google Maps app) and if you’re in a context where typing space to accept is useful (in URLs, for instance, there is no space bar).
