I wonder when Apple will take a higher share in the enterprise market, i.e. when the "halo effect" from use of iphones, later maybe ipads, in big corp.s will lead to increased use of macs/os x there too. if it happens, i.e. when os x reaches a certain threshold of trust or viability in enterprise systems, it will probably be something that happens quite fast. in a sense, there'll be a network or lemming effect where you'd just need one big firm to switch to make it "acceptable" for other "orifices" to do so too.

iPad's (at least in my office Fortune500) are very much the new must have tech executive toy. Toy is probably the wrong word as they are carried everywhere to every meeting.

This is interesting - do you think a RIM or HP (Palm) tablet would make the same in-roads if the functionality/aesthetics were good enough? Is the iPad a social marker or is it filling a functional need?
