good point Joe. I think this emergence of iPad and iPhone is really driving
the concept of bring your own computer even though people aren't calling it
that.
Where i work, we've gone from people asking for blackberries for work email
to them just asking us how to hook up their iPhone and Droid that they are
paying for themselves. I have even had people turn in their company issued
blackberry because they would rather use their iPhones/iPad/Droid. That's
just for email. Then they come back and ask for Citrix support because they
know we have Citrix and they find the Citrix receiver in the app store.
