The virtualization is generally not considered as the fashionable topic, but it's so attractive in the large mobile market. It's common for people to carry two mobile phones at the same time. One is for work while the other is for personal use. Though the watch mobile phone is available now, it's not very convenient to carry two phones. The virtualization of portable device means that the smartphone with virtual partition can satisfy the user's personal and working use. People can download a large quantity of application programs.

What's the mobile virtualization? According to the OK Labs, there is difference between enterprise virtualization and mobile virtualization. But it has the same definition of the virtual technology. Just as PC can run the application program separately, the smartphone also can.

The problem is that the current mobile processor is lack of the virtual hardware support. The user can't achieve the virtualization on its own device. It should be completed by the producer. So it takes some time to achieve the full integration.

Dimitri Sirta is the co-founder of Layer 7 Technologies. The company provides the pre-hardware integrating data center to the network. Sirota said that the security of Android can't be seen. Those application programs can visit everything on the mobile phone. The virtualization can create an isolated circumstance. The safe application program can run and the data will not be visited by other intentional programs.

Why the mobile virtualization is important?
Security. Though it's not the top concern of consumers at present, with the widespreading of mobile banking and other applications, security becomes a more and more important problem. As the open operation system is widespreading, mobile devices turn to be weaker in front of the hacker and malicious software. The virtualizaion can help to protect the key data of the device.

Working and entertainment. As a device is involved in personal world as well as the company's affairs, there is security problem for enterprise. In addition, in this case the consumers can visit the loved applications on various platforms (android, windows and blackberry) with one phone.

Smartphone market. It will promote the market by saving the cost. According to the Vision Mobile, the smarphone covers less than 20% of the world mobile shipmens in the first half year of 2010. And 80% of mobile phones are common phones. By integrating hardware, the manufacturers can supply smartphone based on the cost of function phones. It's very important for the consumers. In most places in the world, many can't afford the smartphone.

The emergence of the mobile virtualized technology is important. With the increasing of the different application programs, the portable devices are unavoidable to be attacked. Anyhow, the mobile phones require more effectivenss on the respects of cost and integration. A mobile can run various application programs only with a small part of charge.

But the problem is that the hardware should support the virtualization. When the efficiency and security problem have become the advantageous factors of the smartphone market, it will happen naturally.
