PCmag@Work (Small Business): Cloud Computing, Wireless Makes Now Right Time for iPad in Business

“Apple may have energized the tablet market at the right time. Tablets have always had marginal success. Two hot technology trends make now the time for tablet success especially in business: ubiquitous Wi-Fi and cloud computing.

Advances in Wi-Fi have made unfettered, portable computing the norm. The days of the traditional business desktop/laptop client anchored in place by an Ethernet cable are coming to a close. It’s evolving to a point in which servers, back-end systems, and storage devices will be all that gets wired in a business network.”
