VMware to bring virtualisation to mobile phones
Well-known virtualisation software provider VMware is set to break new ground with virtualisation coming to mobile phones through the new VMware Mobile Virtualisation Platform (MVP.)

Additionally, VMware say, end users will benefit by being able to run multiple profiles on the same phone for instance, one for personal use and one for work use. Fundamentally, VMware MVP is a thin layer of software embedded on a mobile phone which will separate applications and data from the underlying hardware just as VMwares full-blown products separate operating systems and file spaces from underlying hardware.
