iPods and iPads in the enterprise applications are no longer unusual, and Apple has done a lot to ensure that iOS devices can be managed strictly by the admins. The new iOS 6, which will go live next Wednesday, will admins offer more possibilities to place corporate iPads and iPhones to the chain.
The new features for Apple CEO Tim Cook has indicated during the launch of the iPhone 5, it will be announced in detail but with availability of iOS 6th One of them is already in the Mobile Manager, the management software for mobile devices by U.S. manufacturer Zenprise integrated. It is based on the new iOS feature accessibility, a kind of extended tracking service. Thus can be defined as a geographic area within which an iPhone or iPad has full functionality, but not outside this range.
End of the free rein
A normal iPhone users can only determine that outside the defined range, the Home button is disabled or certain parts of the screen are no longer operable. Mobile Manager provides administrators a number of ways to populate this feature: From a friendly note that the user moves away from his "playpen", the blocking of individual apps to the complete deletion of data on the device. The function thus ensures that, for example, confidential company information outside the company premises are not accessible.
In a re-deleted blog post by Zenprise (we suspect that this was done at the behest of Apple) was the speech of another function, called App Lock. According to the U.S. magazine Wired that could read the article yet, the function should be able to only allow the admin approved apps on the device and block all others. The time of free rein with the smartphone seems so prone to the end. (mo)
