We allow Google Maps and the GMail app for our Sprint users.  Verizon
users are stuck with BB Maps thanks to the VZW GPS lockdown, although
Google Maps will use cell towers (in the absence of GPS) to triangulate
your approximate location.

 

Most of the Google Apps are web-based and not native apps by themselves,
so I don't see any real security risk in allowing it.

Subject: [Bes-admins] Google Mobile App

 

All,

 

We have a user connected to our BES that would like to use this software
(Google Mobile Application) on their device.  This application requires
certain permissions to be changed on the device, that we currently do
not allow.

 

Is anyone else allowing this application? And if so, what security risks
are involved?

 

Thanks

 

Kevin
