Increasing Mobile Business Needs
With the impending delivery date of the infamous iPad coming up here in the United States on April 3rd there is a lot of discussion of it’s usability and future. At the CTIA 2010 conference in Las Vegas this week it is only more heighten then ever, even if Apple is not making a big splash there. :-)
A recent Sybase study caught my eye recently, and mimics what I have been hearing from customers recently as well. Many people are using smartphones and perhaps soon “new” tablet devices, like the iPad for work related tasks.
Due to the overall success of the iPhone it’s natural that this is smitting off on the iPad as well. With tons of applications and more and more business vendors getting behind it, it is a sign of the times. Due to it’s popularity and easy of use, corporations are looking closely at what the iPhone/iPad platform has to offer and how it could benefit their operations.
Time will tell if the iPad device is just as successful as it’s smaller sibling and how will Apple cater to the ever increasing number of Apple devices being used by enterprise customers. Better and more flexible management features are still a huge gap for many.
For all the study details (I’m not sure what kind of sampling was done) you can see the press release here and PDF slide deck here.
