A recent report from Good Technology highlighted Apple's iOS platforms' advance in the enterprise domain but also embedded in the report were the names of four Android phones which have found large scale corporate adoption.

The report titled "iPads Drive iOS Dominance in the Enterprise", from Good Technology, a software company, which specializes in multiplatform enterprise mobility, explores the most popular devices and OS platforms that its enterprise end-users activated in the second quarter of 2011.

The report states that it was Apple's iOS devices all the way, with Apple's iPad enterprise activations outpacing Android smartphone activations - 27.2 percent to 24 percent, respectively.

While Apple's conquest of the enterprise domain is underscored by the report, it also highlights that Motorola Xoom was the most popular tablet and Motorola Droid 2 Global the most favored Android phone among enterprise users.

The report takes into account activations from April 1 to June 30, 2011. The top 5 devices for enterprise activation were all iOS devices with iPhone 4 averaging activation rate of 22 percent for the quarter, Verizon iPhone 4 accounting for 11 percent activation followed by iPad 2, iPad, iPhone 3GS. The other top ten devices registered just under 2 percent activation rate each. The ten devices include Android Motorola Droid 2 Global, Motorola Droid X, iPhone 3G, HTC EVO 4G and HTC Incredible HD.
