I hate Touchdown.  IMO, that's not an integrated application for the Android... 
Its a seperate application that handles mail, contacts etc...

We did, but not everyone is a fan of Touchdown, which is what they use for 
Android.

Has anyone looked into Mobile Iron for an MDM? We are going to be signing up 
with them here within the next month. They have Weekly webinars on Wednesday - 
and their product looks amazing and well built.

+1 for Microsoft Licensing being confusing.  Even most of their employees don't 
understand it.

We have a hosted MDM solution now.  I was intrigued by Mobile Fusion until I 
did the numbers.  With Mobile Fusion, cost includes BES + CALs + Server 
associated costs, hardware, configuration and maintenance + Support contract 
which is priced somewhat on the number of devices being managed.  Some of these 
costs are long term, like BES, one time, like CALs, and others continuing, like 
the support contract.

With the hosted MDM, we pay per device. per month.  No up front BES, no CALs, 
no server hardware, no maintenance, and support is included.  Mobile Fusion may 
work for you, but when you factor in all of the costs, maybe not.

Confusing?  Try licensing any Microsoft product at an enterprise level!

In all seriousness, you're not being strong-armed into a Fusion CAL for 
BlackBerry OS 10 devices as they will support ActiveSync out of the box much 
like Playbook OS 2.0.  Fusion will provide a better way of dealing with mobile 
devices than unregulated ActiveSync connections.
