Today BlackBerry show what it ’s callingBlackBerry Balance , a clever way of tell one ’s personal and work lives in one machine . You do n’t see it as much these sidereal day but carrying two earpiece — one for occupation , one for delight — was commonplace not too long ago . I remember have a BlackBerry 6200 alongside my pal 2 ; and I ’m certain a lot of you commemorate those day as well .

But now that smartphones have been ingratiate into corporate IT infrastructures with beefed up security protocols , the want for body of work - issued BlackBerries has been on the declension . Not to mention the fact that it ’s cheaper for employer to just have you apply your own speech sound and pay for it yourself . Now you may have both your work and personal liveliness survive on one exclusive machine .
bang-up , ripe ? Eh . Not really
Do n’t get me haywire , I like not have to transmit around two machine but now , when I look at my phone , the line between employment and pleasure are glaze over beyond credit . Which is why balance wheel seems like a neat feature of speech if fulfill properly . Others have tried this before , and failed . But this is RIM BlackBerry ; if there ’s any one company that realise enterprise and the need for protection , it ’s the tribe in the Great White North .

Back in 2010 , T - Mobile come up with myModes for its line of myTouch devices .
The effect trouble with myModes is that it did n’t go deep enough . switch between profiles based on time or location but was n’t enough . Corporate secrets could still be accessed across each visibility whereas Balance lock you into one visibility at a time and does not let for anything know in one visibility to give said visibility .
VMwareandARMhave both brought up the notion of make a virtual level for smartphones for a while now but neither have actually made it to marketplace .

More recently ( and by recently I stand for last summer),AT&T box together a product for enterprisingness cry Toggle , which by the looks of it does just the same matter as Balance .
Toggle currently work with Android and iOS and wassupposedto be vagabond out to support Windows Phone and BlackBerry 10 by the last of last year . We ’re still hold back to see back from AT&T on that one .
The idea of make a harmonious work - animation balance on a smartphone has n’t ever been in full realise because none of the aforementioned ideas were ever baked into the atomic number 76 . Libra , though , is baked in with each profile existing in its own sphere . For example , an IT handler can wipe the initiative side of an employee ’s twist if that person decides to leave the company without ever touching the personal side .

Even if BlackBerry 10 sucks as a whole , it seems like they nailed at least one thing . Whether it ’s enough to nose your fingers off of your iPhone is a whole other matter .
