Smartphone Virtualization

I've just seen this news I feel you all need to know about this:

LG and VMware announced this morning a partnership that brings visualization to Android smartphones. The non-nerd premise is this: You've got your standard Android smartphone, with your e-mail, your apps, your phone number. And in a virtual space on the same device, you have another set of apps, corporate e-mail, another phone number — completely sandboxed from your personal stuff, unable to talk to or access its data.

Check out the following video taken from here

 
 

I like this news A LOT. Looking forward to getting my hands on it. Would be perfect for me as I currently carry two phones around with me.

  • I wonder how it can receive phone calls on two different numbers when the Nexus One, used for the demo, can handle only one SIM card

    • Nexus One was HTC wasn't it? This post talks about LG and VMware, so maybe LG will be bringing out a handset with dual SIM?
