Recent research put out by the Aberdeen Group has shown how Microsoft products are dominating the rollouts for enterprise mobile app deployment in 2013.

Samsung unveiled the next phase of its program to make its Android smart devices fit for enterprise deployment with the announcement of KNOX. KNOX provides an end-to-end package of security services that reach from the hardware to the application layer.

A research note from brokerage firm Detwiler Fenton has suggested that Samsung is looking further at an enterprise push following the release of BlackBerry 10 at the end of January. The note reads: “Our latest smartphone checks indicate that Samsung is making an aggressive push into the enterprise segment and it has BlackBerry’s enterprise and SMB business in its cross-hairs.

The ongoing Apple vs Samsung punch-up is giving Microsoft time to refine and grow.

Last week, AppsTech mused that Samsung was “in the patents equivalent of the last chance saloon” amidst their bitter battle with Apple.

This case has rumbled on, but it appears Samsung is in the patents equivalent of the last chance saloon as they attempt to overturn the banning of their Galaxy Nexus model in the United States following Apple’s court victories last week.

A court in Netherlands has ruled that Apple infringed on Samsung’s patents in the creation of various devices, including the iPhones 3G, 3GS and 4, as well as the iPad 1 and 2.

Many people put pens behind their ears, but there now may be a more practical reason for doing so.
