I worked for a fairly large (1 billion in sales – 600+ people worldwide) California Tech company. They sent out a survey concerning platform options (PC, cell phone and tablet). They left out specifics (i.e. Apple vs Android) and mentioned generics – like do you believe in platform choice – would you be willing to self-support your PC choice – do you believe touch interfaces work – etc…

The CEO/CFO and CTO all used an iPhone – and had stated in so many words that is what they would like to use as their primary cell phone. We were forced to use a crappy BlackBerry! So the top brass carried 2 phones. The iPad was sent out as a pilot to some users.

So yes – the interest is definitely there. GE has recently started to roll out iPhones/iPads and allow for PC choice. You see every Lowes employee carry an iPod Touch to assist customers. It’s real and it’s happening. That old adage – once you go Mac you never go back is so true. I have been saying this to my PC friends for 25 years!!!!! It’s finally caught up to everyone else. Oh, and once you use iPhone – you want to use Mac – and vice-versa. Macs just work. iPhones just work. It’s pleasing and refreshing when things just work.
