While Android is a terrific operating system in many ways, it does pose some real risks for IT departments.

This way fewer people will send you trouble tickets reporting poor device performance because they've unknowingly left "Angry Birds" running for three straight weeks. Most people who know about Android know that since about 2.1 the use of Task Killers is not needed and sometimes can have an adverse effect on battery life and stability.
