@hieptran25 I don't think a chromebook would have got it done.

Android Really Works miracles.

To bad that Android does not support fx Cisco VPN .

One of the most important things when it comes to enterprises is secure access.

Without that, we cannot use it for secure systems and we (admins) needs to open up our firewalls and risk much more.

This is not good !

Rooting a phone to be able to do IPSEC vpn is not an option for the enterprise.

Getting a phone that is already prepared is.

How about taking work to android? Cisco IPSec VPN is widely used by the companies but it is not implemented in Android. "VPN is very dangerous".... hmmmm ... but not for Apple's iPhone.

@meguzhev I think what he's reffering to is the VPN software would have the ability to access all network information travelling through the network adapters. In order for 3rd party VPN software to do this, the Android OS would have to allow the app to access this data traffic, which for virus's or malicious software, allows them to do the same. This is what he means by "very dangerous".
