Someday either Google or Apple will get off their rear ends and roll out an end to end encrypted service
plugs into corporate email/calendar/workgroup services and we can all gladly toss these horrid little devices in the recycle bins where

plus normal mail + k9 will do TLS on SMTP and IMAP... or they both do with my mail server just fine. (idevices seeem to also do this well enough)
It's possible that the 'encryption' comment from Jamie is really about encrypting the actual device... which I believe Android[0] will do, I don't know if idevices do though.
As of 2.3[.x?] (can't remember if it's a sub release that intro'd this), Android devices can be wholly encrypted, though I don't know if they are by default. All these kludges are great on a small scale, but the BES does end to end encryption for transmission, plugs into Exchange, Lotus, Sametime, proxies internal http[s], and lets us manage policies and push out software updates from a central management point. When it works, it's also scalable, which matters when you have thousands of devices to manage. Jamie
