Yes, the gadget (<--not the real word) appeal of the IPAD is infectious to
senior executives and elected officials it appears.
We're testing one in Public Works who are using it to VPN back to the network
to use "as built" drawings.
We have two councilors who just got theirs for Christmas who will be testing
these at council meetings. They'll be able to get the council packets from the
city website so there's no security issue with these.
Like IPhones, these things can usually be made to "remember" passwords which
users usually do IMMEDIATELY because they don't want to type them in each time,
making "lost or stolen" gadgets a problem...but nonetheless, I don't think
these are going to go away so we're supporting them with a smile! :)

Howdy All,
Our new commissioners are wanting to use an iPad or some similar touch device,
for reading board packets created in pdf format, and I was wondering if anyone
is using such devices for a similar purpose and what devices you are using,
connectivity to the network issues and any security concerns. Your opinions
and responses would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Paul Ferguson
