But, couldn't it be much easier for Apple to make some major inroads into the business computing world were they to put most of their efforts into suggesting a different type of computing platform for the workplace as opposed to what is in general use today? I speak here of the iPad and future versions of same. The iPad would not replace laptops or desktops in cubicles where sensitive Department of Defense code is being written. Such environments generally require Windows machines that are tightly controlled. However, I can see lawyers loving iPads, as well as anyone who needs mobility on the job such as air conditioning and heating technicians, plumbers and electricians, contractors of all sorts. Out with the Dell laptops and in with the iPads.
