NOAA and GSA have both moved away from Microsoft's services to Google Apps for Government. In doing so, according to Reuters, Google has enabled them to move away from RIM products, and instead embracing the iPhone, by way of Google's device management services.
Sure, not the outcome that Google would have preferred, but in some ways, this is better for Google, because these groups now provide fixed income to Google by way of Apps subscriptions. And anyway, other governmental groups are beginning to embrace Android for secure communications.
Ironic, but not terribly bad in any way, for Google.
