For those who think Google’s Android mobile operating system is a hobby and not capable of taking on business enterprises should think again. We compiled some interesting statistics in the short 18 months since Android’s debut will peak interest of any business or investor pounding about the success of the platform. Businesses and IT departments are experiencing employees opting for Android phones as corporate communications tools over Blackberries as they offer powerful apps and ever increasing hardware specs. With the help of Sprint and their much capable HTC EVO 4G, we’ll recommend 7 Android Apps for Business Enterprise:
