The line between personal and business use of company assets has always been a little blurry - never called home from your desk?- but with smartphones it's becoming way more than that.

If, like me, you use a smartphone (mine's an iPhone) for Mobile Device managementbusiness use and it's one that you chose and expense personally, then you're an ‘individual-liable' user. (not to be confused with a ‘corporate-liable' ). And you're a member of the fastest growing group in the adoption of mobile devices for business use. You also represent a great opportunity for business productivity, but at the same time you're a management challenge.

Stephen Drake of IDC has just published a good primer about the business challenges in employee use of smartphones and some initial recommendations for those of you just beginning to come to terms with the issue. Worth a read.
