So are you letting your users develop their own mobile applications?
Google announced App Inventor for Android, which lets non-programmers develop mobile applications. My sense is such tools can cause problems for many businesses. They will need to put tools in place in order to track development of such applications. In addition, these programs can bring new security holes, such as corporate data walking out the door and malware being downloaded. Can companies stop the deployment of these applications? If so, should they try to take that step? What is your company doing to manage this new breed of mobile software?
