The sheer impossibility of stopping the use of personally owned smartphones and tablets in business settings has led management and IT professionals to the rational conclusion that implementing a plan for application and data segregation is essential. To do that, there are a number of solutions that make sense and can help provide some solution to the problem. 
It seems like whenever the subject is the business use of tablets, the sentence immediately following is focused on the issue of security. It appears to have gotten to the point where there is more emotion that surrounds the issue than there is factual consideration. This is actually quite understandable as tablets are far too frequently lost, stolen, or misplaced, and with up to 128 GB of storage on these devices, we could be talking about a lot of data. That of course doesn’t consider the issue of who might now have access to your systems on a lost device.
There are so many similarities between the early days of the PC (1978-1982) and this era in the nascent market for tablets. In both cases, the vast majority of purchases in these early days were made by consumers, even if the device was being brought into work. After all, there were no budgets for these new devices, and IT didn’t have any way to manage or deal with them. However, once they started showing up in larger numbers, this approach was no longer valid, and organizations moved to buy and manage them.
