First of all I respect Apple and what they have done with the iPad. It is revolutionary, and quite impressive. Continuing I use an iMac everyday at College and a lot of my friends have an iPhone.
Here is where it gets interesting -
You have a device that runs apps that can just about everything you can think of, right?
Wrong!
It can do plenty for the individual or small business, but step out of that world into the real corporate America. Now I don’t want to swing away from the branch(the one where I complemented the Steve Jobs accomplishments) and hang on the limbs of Microsoft.
Who hasn’t heard of the “Cloud”, Sharepoint or even the Google Internet. I have to admit a PC or mobile device won’t handle any of the tasks that these services provide. The amazing thing is that these huge advancements have powered mobile “connections” to the next level.
Is there an answer for who does it best? Let’s say that Google is pulling Microsoft Office out of their offices, and AT&T has decided to let apps run wild while they charge anywhere from $15 on up for data connections. Whats left is the company that has the biggest hands that have reached out even further. There is a push for allowing Open Source in the World of Windows, not a nudge. They are actually funding and driving these organizations.
Medical advancements everyday are receiving the support they need and the flexibility of unique analysts developing solutions alongside this advance that has a 2012 deadline. When you can search for your own medical records online, believe these people are the ones creating it.
Another huge push is the ability to make the supercomputer more economical. Maybe not yet for the handheld , yet, but there is drastic improvement in this field. Server 2008 in its many shades have the ability to work well with Linux. This is a fact! http://www.microsoft.com/hpc/en/us/default.aspx and that link can assist you in gaining a clear view of the broad picture and bright image of the future in the branching technology.

By the way I have a Windows Phone and really am impressed by the Andriod.
