Will Android be the most secure of all? -----

Motorola's Xoom is an impressive first shot at an iPad-style tablet based on the new Android 3.0 operating system. As InfoWorld's Galen Gruman notes in his first look, one Android 3.0 strong suit is its support for Exchange ActiveSync security policies -- an essential feature set for enterprise-class mobile devices. Last month's acquisition of mobile security firm 3LM by Motorola could usher in a new era of enterprise-class security for Android devices.

But for Android devices, particularly those from Motorola, that may only be the beginning. On Feb. 14, Motorola Mobility announced that it had acquired 3LM (Three Laws Mobility), a secretive company started by ex-Google execs that is developing "mobile enterprise security software and solutions and mobile device management products for the Android operating system."

Motorola Mobility is a spin-off devoted to smartphones, tablets, and other mobile devices. The company intends to start selling 3LM software in the second quarter and no doubt will integrate and package 3LM enterprise solutions with its smart devices. Even more interesting, however, is that 3LM will work with other Android device developers to promote and distribute its solutions. On its website, 3LM lists Sony Ericsson, HTC, Sharp, and Pantech as partners.
