Clorox employees bleach out BlackBerry smartphones and replace them with the Apple iPhone
Share:
Loura removed the BlackBerry as a choice for its smartphone users and gave those workers being issued a company owned phone the chance to pick between the Apple iPhone, an Android powered device, or one running Windows Phone 7. Of 2,000 smartphones issued by Clorox, 92% were the iPhone, 6% selected the Android model while 2% opted for Windows Phone 7.
Loura said that one of the reasons why Clorox used to give out BlackBerry phones was because of the strong security that the handset provided. But now, most information is in the cloud. As Loura said, "My job is about how to be the chief risk officer, yet provide choice and flexibility. It's about putting apps and logistics in the cloud and pushing the user interface to the edge."
A small group of employees will be testing out the Apple iPad 2. Loura feels that while so far no tablet can replace his laptop, he feels that tablets can run business apps from the cloud.
For Apple, getting more business users is a goal that the company has been aiming for. Getting inside Clorox and grabbing a huge majority of employees is exactly the model that the Cupertino based firm would like to see repeated over and over again in corporate America and overseas.

Let me guess what fandroids would say about this. They'll say "Apple paid Clorox employees to have the iphone as the smartphone of their choice", LOL. Or, "Clorox employees know nothing about technology". Lol, fandroids are so predictable :)

what? No way. I love my Defy (Android), and i don't say those kind of things.
If someone likes Apple products, i don't give a s***. It's THEIR money, its THEIR phone. They get what they want.
So some people like Android, some people like iPhone/iOS. End of story.

youre so retarded like every other fandroid lol, this argument is all you have, youre talking about an OS, this article is talking about a phone, there is a difference, theres like 10 androids coming out over all networks every month, ofcourse theyre gonna sell more of the OS, when 1 single android phone outsells the iphone, come let us kno :)

I have plenty of arguments for android. Calling people retarded is your only argument.
The only thing that matters is Android sells more devices than iOS. its not my fault google was smart enough to allow other than one company to sell its OS on multiple devices and providers. Thats what we like to call smart.

He is right though. You are retarded. Also, when you were 5, you slept early because there was no internet or computers back then in the 1930's.
What matters more is capital share. And Apple has a higher capital share than google. And they've done it by producing an EXCLUSIVE os unique only to the iphone, unlike android that is a mass produced OS,ewwwww. Apple has class, android is....well...for the masses :)

A product for the masses? Yes thats the point of every product to mass produce it. Why does a mass producing a product make it disgusting. You really are just about the least educated person I have ever seen in my life.

Apple has control over a much larger company who makes software and hardware. When Google only makes software. To be perfectly honest its sad how close google alone is worth almost the same as Apple... To add to it you should also know that higher capital shares has nothing to do with iOS or Android.... fail

here comes the apple whore saying things no one has talked about, it is that you hate people with android so much? is it that you hate that they can choose screen size an optional keyboard and even beta technology you might need to wait ages to see? while you have to be conformed with what you get? why go ahead and say trash like that? is it that you wish so hard your parents didn't have you on their AT&T contract with that iPhone so you could go to Verizon and order a DROID? your life must be really bad... I wonder who the predictable one is.

Hey, I'm just putting it out there before you fandroids do :)
Do you want me to show you posts by fandroids exactly the way I predicted? Believe me, I didn't come up with those words if not for those posts from fandroids that I've read in here. So now tell me honestly, haven't you seen fandroids posting crap like that about the iphone? :)
24. protozeloz posted on 08 Apr 2011, 20:06 2 0
so your solution is to act just like the people you hate? wont you end up being bitter like them? not all fandroids hate apple you know... at first you where defending apple, but now you are just bashing any declared fandroid.

Or, just continue to be gouchy, and people will ignore you even when you make solid points, which you do. Often. When you are not pissing all over Android, that is.

Dude, you have to stay away from the keyboard and stop giving negative comments on like what? Every article in PA? Just lay it off. Could you do something that is less irritating and more productive?

Gemini- You are the piece of crap kind of person who is always trying to pick fights and arguments by trying to "guess" what your supposed rival is going to say. You are so Predictable...
Get a Life

Oh please, why do you think I'm this way? Lol. If I didn't post that comment first, fandroids would've posted a comment like that anyways, so why not beat them to it, lol.

Wow,a company you can now not have a proper phone call with without dropping calls,will business drop also? My experience from business users in my store complaining about losing business from iphone 4 dropped calls is indeed an angry yes!

I guess there is nothing really secure about the way Clorox operates so they wouldn't really have any need for a more secure device like a BlackBerry. Droids and Iphones are completely hackable devices. This has been proven.
I am glad to see that a chief risk officer is more worried about her team playing angry birds than doing work on the phones they provide.
