Windows Phone Thoughts: Lock It Down with SureLock

" 42Gears has released SureLock Studio, a product aimed at enterprises using Windows Mobile devices. SureLock locks down Windows Mobile devices into kiosk mode and helps enterprises increase their mobile workforce productivity and reduce regular device maintenance. In recent times Windows Mobile has become quite popular among companies to deploy and run their business applications. Windows Mobile is a generic operating system and therefore provides opportunities to employees to use the device for entertainment and gaming purposes (browsers, audio players, games, phone etc) which results in wastage of crucial working hours. Besides, accidental corruption of device settings by employees can cause critical business applications to fail."

Want to suck the little bit of enjoyment your employees may have using a company issued device away from them (Namely solitaire)? Well then here's a product for you. Lock down that sucker so your automatons can work at peak potential, without bothersome free thought or expression...

OK, in all seriousness, I'm sure there are IT managers who pull their hair out with users who muck up devices with software they shouldn't be running, and somehow mess up things they should be, and even do spend way too much time indulging the solitaire addiction. And if you're one of them, SureLock looks like it may be a relief.
