iPhone and iPad Are Tops With Good Technology?s Enterprise Customers

By ⋅ April 27, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

AppleInsider reports today on new figures from Good Technology, which reveal that 79.9% of its customer activations in the workplace are for Apple iOS devices, with the iPhone 4S leading from the front as the most popular of all, accounting for 37% of all activations in the first quarter of 2012, up from the previous record figure of 31% of activations in the fourth quarter of 2011. Not far behind the iPhone 4S was the iPad 2, representing 17.7% of enterprise activations according to Good Technology?s figures, with the iPhone 4 just behind that, with figures of 15.2 activations. And as for the new kid on the block, the iPad 3, well despite only being released a few weeks ago, it has already managed to establish itself in fourth place, with 12.1% of activations in March, and 4.3% across the quarter as a whole. Next, in fifth place, we have the first generation iPad, with 2.8% of business activations for the quarter, and finally in sixth place, the good old iPhone 3GS, with 2.5% of activations in the enterprise as recorded by Good Technology. The bottom four devices were all Android phones. No Android tablets made it into the top 10, and Good Technology reported that 97.3% of tablet activations in the first quarter were iPads, with the iPad proving to be most popular in the financial services, business and professional services, and life sciences industries.

The Samsung Galaxy S 2 is already a beast — and now it’s rooted

Galaxy S 2 benchmark

Look out, all you tweakers and overclockers — there’s a new kid on the block who’s likely to take the throne in very short order — the Samsung Galaxy S 2.  Right out of the box it’s an awesome performer, chewing through benchmark tests like candy even with less than optimized software on board.  We’re hearing from all over about how smooth and quick it is, and everyone seems pretty darn impressed.

And to make things a bit more interesting, the phone isn’t locked down in any way and already has a fairly easy root method from Chainfire over at XDA.  We can’t wait to see what happens with this one, as it appears we’re at a whole ‘nother level of performance here.  Samsung needs to hurry with that roll-out!
