VMware May Develop Products for Apple's IOS, CEO Maritz Says

The Palo Alto, California-based company is developing software for Google Inc.’s Android operating system and plans to begin product trials this year, Maritz said at a briefing in Tokyo today. He declined to give a specific schedule.

“Android is our first, something that hasn’t been done before, so we will try it out in that environment and go from there,” Maritz said. It would be “great if we could have” an offering for iOS, he said.

The Android product will allow a user to have two phones in one -- a handset for work and a private line with separate numbers and operating environments, Maritz said. The company demonstrated a prototype made by LG Electronics Inc. earlier this month at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain.
