I ran into a company at a conference recently that was doing something similar to this, but higher up in the software stack. It was basically a limited environment for containing all of your business related apps, which could be administered by the IT department. This sounds pretty cool to me because the company I work for recently changed their Google Apps account to us Google Apps Device Policy, which gives the company privileges that allow them to examine and remotely wipe the entire phone. I've chosen to go without Google Apps access on my phone rather than approve those permissions. I'd much prefer accessing business-sensitive data within some kind of container or sandbox my employer controls.
