> Ditch BlackBerry OS, install Android (with their custom BES encryption used in the enterprise [2])

I'm confident if someone would come in to the Android world and do an enterprise-focused build that can have support sold, they'd kill the market in a good way - like what RedHad did for Linux. A very closely-forked branch that is never more than a few months behind AOSP, but had all the reliability and security of what BlackBerry used to provide would be amazing.

Samsung is trying to corner that market with Knox.

Android also started to include and adopt patches from SEAndroid project from NSA (I realize saying it after the leaks now would make some shake their heads disapprovingly).

Knox + SEAndroid patches is basically starting to move in the direction of cornering the enterprise mobile market.
