This is huge for business uptake and could, in a few months, start leading enterprises to specify Android only.

Will open up a lot more opportunities for mobile business app startups too.

Mobile in enterprise is often seen as lagging behind consumer use - but senior execs in my experience are already a lot further ahead on mobile use for stats/monitoring than many probably appreciate - getting broader uptake across an enterprise usually stalls at deployment and user support.

In your first sentence, there are two statements. The first is true. I see this as an important step that Google had missed, yet Apple had working (for some value of working) from day one.

The second is unlikely to be true for a very long time, if ever, and is merely wishful thinking. It would equally be wishful thinking if someone thought that enterprises would specify iOS only or SailFish only.
