Making "corporate" software distribution for Nexus 7 tablets.

[Subodh Nijsure]

Hi,

I want to build android tablet software version for a company that has 100-150 technicians out in the field.

They could be given "a tablet" to do their work, however company wants them to run only "approved" software on these company owned tablets.
I would like this to be google Nexus 7 tablet.

I have built the software for Nexus 7 from scratch when I install the binaries I noticed that there is no google play. So few questions:

. Is there a way to independently install Google Play on "rooted" Nexus 7?
  If that is not possible, we would probably look at Amazon Market , actually I have already tried Amazon market and that works on rooted Nexus 7.

. Is there a way to control which APKs are allowed to be installed on given device?
  Even if I end up using Amazon market place, I need to figure this part out  i.e. is there pre-install hook that get invoked that could give yes/no when someone tries to install an APK on a device?

. Of course one could host corporate version of market that has up-to-date software versions but would rather not do that.

. Has someone figured out how to make such "restricted" version of Android distribution?

I am aware that by rooting Nexus 7, we are voiding the warranty etc.
