>>Of course the business markets and consumer markets have different needs.
>>Watch a group of high school girls giggling over tweets and watch a travelling tech checking schematics for the appliance in question and then reconsider that notion.

Yes, but you've selectively paraphrased. I said I didn't believe you can segregate the market into business and consumer uses that are assigned different needs. The context is the suggestion that business apps ought to be Windows ports irrespective of device features, because business is different from consumer. In context, no it is not. The CEO has a new Galaxy and wants to be able to log into the corporate software via face recognition just as she can with all her other stuff. Developer A says "sure thing, our Android app can do that," Developer B says "that's a consumer feature needed by giggling girls, not serious business. " I see, says the CEO, and makes her purchase decision. See, I can cherry pick examples too, though my example is more realistic than yours. ;-)

>>So.. let's say that GE has 10K techs out there servicing appliances.
>>Do you really think that they'll let each tech pick the device that's most comfortable?

They supply a device that goes in the trundler with all the other service equipment. This is not consumer vs business, it's niche need vs other business.

>>None of my clients allow users free access to the web from desktops and email is locked down tight to business use. Several encrypt email.
>>That's a long way from giggling teens, John.

Are you arguing that BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) is not a real phenomenon in business in 2015? All of the surveys say BYOD is growing strongly so that the same manager who locks down PCs has their email on an iPhone protected by a 1234 pin. The alternative is COPE (Corporate owned, personal enabled) because locked down devices get left in the desk drawer. This is not something I'm making up, it's happening in real life and it's the reason why the native vs hybrid vs browser apps began in the first place- because there's so many target devices out there.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.
"
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
