Our techs have had issues with android devices connecting, but we are able to connect ipad, macs, iPhones, windows devices, laptops, net books and tablets etc successfully with a BYOD login.
We use Google apps, and gradually getting staff on board... We also have Moodle as our LMS.... With day map as admin with cases stuff...
Seems to work ok....
Have been out of the loop from the tech side.... Our issues multiple campus issues have also been reduced...
Although re connections are needed at times when cross campussing.

Interesting approach to BYOD in WA, I've cross-posted the details from Eric below. Google apps for education seems to fill the gaps for senior student users, it's certainly been around for a while now. Just wondering how others are going with this in Vic and multiple device access to the school wifi?

At ISM we encourage any device from blackberry to alien-ware laptop.
We are thinking of mandating 10 inch screens and above for M5 and up.
But I recently had a student do his trial ITGS exam from his phone... did quite well.
The only issue is having to have all school resources web based to suit the iProducts, but google apps for education solves most issues, apart from offline access in Linux. The MS solution seemed buggy, slow and a poor second.
