The title is referring to 'Corporate Employees' as opposed to employees of Blackberry.
The Thesis goes: employees bought iPhones and brought them to work, enough (or senior enough) employees were able to force IT departments to support them. Afterwards no-one wanted to use their crappy old phones.
If only this could happen for Browsers, too!
I think it's time to start a campaign for 'Bring Your Own Browser To Work Day".

I suspect that some of the crufty old "we see every packet" IT groups the notion that you can have your own tablet at work getting 4G network access outside the company control structures is exceptionally challenging.
- sambeau 13y agoI support this theory. It makes sense to me.
- DharmaPolice 13y ago>If only this could happen for Browsers, too! It already happens to an extent. I work in an environment where we have very limited control over our desktops. Can't install software, can't use the command prompt, etc. IE7 is the mandated browser. I'd estimate that at maybe a third of staff run either Firefox and Chrome alongside IE7. Neither requires Administrative privileges to install and so users just get on with it.
