What if you didn't pay for it?

What if your company paid for it, and they want to ensure that the phone is being used within the policies etc. that apply to devices with access to business systems for compliance and liability reasons.

Should they be *forced* to buy iPhone or BlackBerry (effectively locking meego out of business environments => reducing target market for apps etc.)

Aegis is apparently flexible enough to allow various useful policies to be implemented (although not everything required for a useful business+leisure-use device can be done with aegis alone).

The questions remain about open mode, and whether owners will be able to enter open mode (noting of course that the user with physical access to the device is not necessarily the owner).
