Perhaps, but most IT departments aren't in a position to actually create revenue for their organization. My secondary concern is this is a matter of giving redundant technology to users with no determined ROI - other than an "I'm cool and hip" factor.
My primary concern though, is regarding AAA issues as this "device" becomes more empowered in the environment. But most importantly I think: Apple has not solved their Jailbreak dilemma. Anyone can potentially exploit this device at any time and run any application they want without any checks and balances to determine wether or not that has occurred; without a direct physical inspection[1]. I'd love to be convinced otherwise, but I see this device as a glorified iTouch, and an IT logistical nightmare. 1. Jailbreaking is easy. And as someone who personally does it for the advantages of running my iPhone how I feel it should work out of the box (a topic for a different thread), I can tell you how easy it is to do, as well as how seductive it can be when you know there are things you can do to your device that will make it more usable - that Apple wont let you do otherwise. As information disseminates, the problem only becomes more prevalent. -- ME2 On Sat, Apr 24, 2010 at 7:08 PM, Webster <[email protected]> wrote: > I think if more IT departments looked at their users as “paying > customers”, the IT Dept would be viewed as business drivers and not a > hindrance to business growth.
