Here are some basic steps anyone can take -- including enterprise workers -- to improve security on their personal Android BYOD devices.

If you're an Android user whose appetite for a new version of the open-source OS is insatiable, you may have to wait only a few months more. Android 5.0, otherwise known as Key Lime Pie, will be released in late October, according to a report from a Chinese website.

For those of you who are TweetDeck dead-enders, the end finally has arrived. For real. It's time to move on to another Twitter platform.

Android's vulnerability to malware is the main reason Google's mobile operating system has failed to penetrate the enterprise. And the latest Android Trojan will make IT pros think even harder about deploying the mobile OS.

BYOD means that personal cellphone use and business cellphone use are one and the same.

How does an enterprise in which security can be a matter of life and death implement Android? This way.

Android has a commanding share of the consumer smartphone market, but continues to lag behind Apple's iOS in the enterprise. If BYOD is to flourish, Android must become more accepted in the enterprise -- and it will.

By changing how it upgrades apps and features, Google appears to have found a way to reduce Android fragmentation caused by manufacturers creating their own flavors of the open source mobile OS. But these changes won't do enough to allay enterprise security concerns.

A study by Cisco Systems' Internet Business Solutions Group concludes that the value companies currently derive from BYOD is "dwarfed by the gains that would be possible if they were to implement BYOD more strategically."

New threats reported by F-Secure underscore Android's vulnerability and may make it even harder for enterprise professionals to embrace Google's mobile OS.
