some years by now actually. what is a "true application"? siebel? sap crm? both dead dead dead.

combining crm and clm on the ipad rocks the world of the sales reps out there. no more paper. digital signatures on a slim device.

i saw the hordes of IT needed to manage the windows tablets out there, maintaining windows SMS servers or some 3rd party solutions, then also patching and updating all that other "true apps". noticed that apple solved that through the app store, once and for all?

servers are getting killed by SaaS, notebooks by the iPad. SAP has fielded 17000 iPads internally...
