Smartphones may breach corporate laws

Guy Kewney at eWeek writes about how IM on smartphones might pose a challenge for "IT managers". Interesting story with a tad to much panic between the lines.

It is astonishing (and amusing and scary) that the story opens with the following:

"How many corporates actually realise that a cellphone is not merely a channel for "texting" but also, with Smartphones spreading rapidly, a vehicle for Internet based IM, and even picture messaging?"

Are "corporates" really this clueless? I honestly don't think so. But if they are... snap snap, get clued in!
