BlackBerry acknowledged that we live in a [bring-your-own-device](http://www.engadget.com/tag/byod/) world with [BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10](http://www.engadget.com/2012/08/31/rim-details-blackberry-enterprise-service-10/), which oversees platforms beyond Waterloo's own. It's reinforcing that support through new details for Secure Work Space for iOS and Android, an expansion of [BlackBerry Balance](http://www.engadget.com/tag/blackberry,balance/) to rival mobile devices. The upcoming offering will blend a BES10 update with a locked-down suite of apps, letting those of us without a BlackBerry easily check our corporate calendars, email and notes without requiring a [VPN](http://www.engadget.com/tag/VPN/) or other elaborate gateways. Whether or not you think the company is giving away the keys to its kingdom, the expanded Secure Work Space should put up a (frankly needed) wall between our corporate and personal lives sometime in the second quarter, or before the end of June.
