Dropping encryption support on an Android OS fork - in this day and age?
First off, since when is device encryption an "enterprise feature"?
What utter nonsense. It isn't anything of the sort. Encryption is a necessity that has arisen from the fact that we are storing more and more data on personal devices. Without proper encryption, the data contained on mobile devices is put at risk when a device is lost or stolen, or even when we sell that device or send it back to the manufacturer when something goes wrong.
By defining encryption as an "enterprise feature" Amazon PR is trying to dig itself out of the crater that the company created by removing the encryption in the first place.
