I am sifting through more information than ever bargained for written on iPad and the in-process threat from Android. It will take me some time to process this info in order to write what might interest the readers that is not covered elsewhere, but I am working on it. This is shaping up to be a terrific battle of the tablets/mobile applications!
Stay tuned.

Will the iPad be a business or enterprise device?
Apple has the history to be a major disruptor of markets. Lisa. Apple II. MAC. iPod. iPhone. Now iPad.
I have been following different perspectives of the iPad and iPhone, Netbooks, and changes in the enterprise and various business scenarios regarding mobility. The iPad has received many reviews both positive and negative but once we get by the early adopters who just have to have every new electronic gadget - especially when it's an Apple i-anything, it will find its way into the hearts and briefcases of many! I do love my iPhone as many of you who know me already know, but the iPad is a different beast even if some call it an over sized iPhone!
iPad: Apple's Web Site
So lets explore why it will be a huge success:
Businesses and Enterprises: are you buying an iPad? What other electronic devices do you use daily? I'd like to her success stories and maybe some challenges IT folks have managing all the disparate devices appearing under BYOP (Bring your own Phone) policies taking hold in many enterprises.
Marketing and Sales folks will use the iPads for presentations, contact management, calendaring, reading eBooks; while traveling will use their Slingo to watch TV through their home cable system - it's a nice sized screen!
We'll explore more next week as I will be at VoiceCon and will hear more about this device and it's enterprise emergence!
