Just was looking around at different cell phones since my treo is a piece of junk and I ran across this article, very interesting I think. 1 phone with the abilities to have a work profile and a personal profile completely separate.

While we are all trading URLs here, I liked what Mike D had to say about this. This move really falls in line with the what we heard at VMworld this year.
Hey Kyle, I was reading about this yesterday as well. Duncan mentions on his blog about the company that VMware purchased which was developing this software, the name escapes me right now but I am sure we all know Duncan's site. It was also discussed on slashdot.org, some people there are for it and others are against it. Basically people are argueing that the 'customers' of this ie the mobile providers will not be interested in providing this type of service to its clients. There are other points as well but this was the main one as of yesterday. It is an interesting read.
Cheers
Kevin
Hey Kyle,
I saw the link of of vmblog also
Trango? I can't see why people would be against it, I mean its like saying you're against the blackberry phones when you can just choose something else. Lucky for me I'm not in this problem but sometimes people have to carry like 2-3 phones around with them all for different jobs or what not, when you could easily just carry 1 that has 3 different interfaces on it. Seems like it wouldn't be that much in demand but still something that I'm sure the business community would utilize.
Thanks for the other article links

I've read about this VMware (MVP) is basically only available to phone vendors so they can distribute with options for booting different versions of phone os such as windows mobile, apple or blackberry. Instead of having both work and personal cell seperately, using this you can reboot your phone and boot up to the other work phone instantly or vice versa. I wouldn't surprise they can go extra miles for innovation after took over Trango. I could see lots of features are going to be built on mobile devices such as VNC, RDP, file server or VI Client for mobile devices too.
If you found this information useful, please consider awarding points for "Correct" or "Helpful". Thanks!!!
