I've been keeping tabs on the progress of a similar effort at a
client. 

Talk with Good Technology (as another poster mentioned).  They have
sandboxing technology that enables a peaceful coexistence of a
corporate sub-world of a personal device (Apple's ipad/iphone and
Adnroid too) that has corporate control over the corporate portion.

I don't have first hand experience to impart on it (yet), but it seems
to be most often mentioned solution when Apple/Android are mentioned.  

Blackberry as others have mentioned grew up in the Enterprise, and of
course, have very nice management tools of their own development.
Apple and Google however foisted their goodies on the populace first,
and are apparently leaning very hard on third parties to solve the
corporate management problems.  :-) 

Apple's engineer himself when he visited my client mentioned Good
among the number of third party management solutions available.
