Acronym Soup: BYOD, COPE, and now SYOD

One analyst, Aaron Goldberg, is attempting to jump on the death of BYOD and submit his own acronym, called: Select Your Own Device (SYOD). 

It seems everyone is trying to coin the next catch phrase for the BYOD replacement. More and more we're hearing, that despite Gartner's backing and support, BYOD is failing due to security, privacy, and legal concerns.

Take a look through the following relevant articles to catch up:

He seems to be pretty proud of it. Not to be mean, but he does portray the topic almost like a car salesman. I half expected a car showroom in the backround instead of a minimalist office.
