[QUOTE="Felon, post: 5852079, member: 8158"] It does if you know what you need for a device to be of the enterprise caliber, which is not just about applications, but also centralized management and distribution. The impresion I get from you and the other responders indicate is that individuals in your organizations each use it in whatever capacity they personally figure out, and in such a fashion you call it an enterprise device. When Mozilla says that that Firefox isn't an enterprise solution, they aren't saying nobody can use it in their office. They're saying don't be surprised when it doesn't play nice with your web apps and internet security. At our workplace of 5,000 odd users, we can't use an iPad for most of our applications, because they're managed and are part of a custom image. Even if they're web apps, they require IE. There's stuff that requires secure access. There's icons that have to be applied to desktops. They need virtual apps streamed to them. They might even need to have their device re-imaged on the fly. The list goes on. In short, like I said, you can use your iWork for fairly generic productivity, but the iOS is a very personal experience. Is there a way that standardization and security are enforced? Or is it that each of them uses it as they see fit? As you say, it's not a replacement for a PC. More like something that's highly convenient to carry about, and be sync'ed with, say, Outlook. Handy, to be sure, but I'm talking about a solution that's tightly integrated with enterprise practices. [/QUOTE]
