Apple iPad3: Super Detail - Great and Small

Abstract:
Tablet computing was attempted by various hardware, software, and operating system vendors in the past - but never really progressed outside of the realm of industrial equipment.

There are rumors of soon to be released iPads - for simplicity, we will call them iPad3's.

Network Management Implications:

With the continued penetration of the Apple iPhone and Apple iPad into the market, customers increasingly desire network management platforms which offer robust HTML front-end interfaces vs Java based front-end interfaces.

Network Management providers should be concentrating and upgrading their customer interaction portals to be compatible with non-Microsoft based personal computers. Apple iPhone and iPad platforms have proved to be no passing fad, but a preferred method of access for consumers and professionals alike.
