Amazon Kindle fire HDX: a potential guardian BYOD

Amazon has improved his last line of Tablet Kindle Fire making them lighter and renew fire based on Android OS 3.0 as well is much more rapid and sensitive. The big question is if the consumers Tote Kindle fire HDX to work and their employers will welcome the tablet.

One of the most interesting elements with the launch of Kindle fire HDX was that Amazon went out of his way to highlight the chops of the company's tablets. Please note that many manufacturers of tablet have promoted business functions - notably Samsung - the theory that consumers will have devices to work. And while these tablets work makes sense do management as easy as possible for information technology equipment.

BYOD and Consumerization.

Special report: phenomenon bring your own device is reshaping the way is bought, managed, delivered and secured. We look at what it means, how to handle and where to go in the future.

I played with the HDX 7 inch Kindle fire for a few days and find the latest version of the Tablet improved on its predecessors. The biggest difference - apart from the screen resolution has pointed out on several occasions - was the construction of software. The Kindle fire HDX is only more agile and left menus are a nice addition. Fire OS already feel as an overlap of Android. Meanwhile, the hardware is enhanced with a price that is right.

It was also clear is that my iPad at 10 years of age also liked the Kindle fire HDX. The Kindle fire HD last year not to bring so much interest. Why is it that remarkable point in one brings his own overview of the device? In a world BYOD, if tablet makers have no consumer they will not get the company. Period. Of course, there may be some cases - Microsoft Office Tablet almost ensures the corporate absorption of Windows 8 device - but corporations these days is through employees.

In fact, Amazon Kindle Fire was the No. 2 table are used for work in the United States, according to Forrester Research. The Kindle Fire tied the Samsung Galaxy for the use of labour in the United States and was no. 3 in worldwide in tablets work. The trick: Samsung Galaxy is actually aimed at the company. Apple IPad is among the workers. While Forrester classifies BYOD Kindle fire potential highly noteworthy that good technology has not seen similar developments in your network.

Amazon is offering sufficient business management tools so that companies accept the HDX Kindle in the workplace. Forrester called Amazon and Kindle Fire a BYOD stealth play obviously leaving the quiet stunt and courting the company. Samsung has a similar strategy with its software of Knox in the S4 Galaxy and Galaxy note. Apple also added updates iOS 7 that also help the company.

The more different approaches with Amazon and Samsung are being more vocal Woo at the company. Apple always wins company touted, but it has been relatively quiet with its business ambitions.

For example, Amazon said in a release that it would offer the following through a software in mid November update:

Wi-Fi support WPA2 for secure access to corporate data and SharePoint.An mail electronic updated app that hooks to change easier. Access wireless printer. OfficeSuite built in. Native VPN access. Hardware encryption.And device management hooks to packages of mobile device management.

These features are aligned with most popular enterprise mobility deployments, according to Citrix.

Meanwhile, Amazon has reinforced its line of productivity application with staples such as GoToMeeting and Documents To Go. If Amazon gets traction company without doing anything, thinking is a little love company could really help.

What is clear is if it is shops will adopt the Kindle in bulk. The jury is in that. Certainly, hooks of the Amazon to MDM packages will help the cause of Kindle Fire. And companies already use to Amazon via Amazon Web Services. In other words, there plenty of familiarity with Amazon in the workplace so that no one would Quake if a Kindle Fire show up at work.

The wrench to reflect is that Kindle fire HDX not also integrates with Google Apps. Google Android partners will provide hooks for companies using Google Apps much. The lack of a smartphone could also hurt the BYOD aspirations of the Amazon. Don't worry, Samsung will sell Galaxy smartphones and tablets to corporations in bulk. Microsoft will aim for similar agreements.

One certainty is that Android will walk more in the company such as Amazon, Samsung and Google are running corporate accounts with a weakened BlackBerry, a device unknown in Microsoft and Apple iOS singular efforts. Thing is that because of Android in the company may end up being fed by three different mobile OS flavors.

CONCLUSION: it is likely that the HDX Kindle fire will see more traction in a company near via BYOD.
