What iOS5 and iCloud mean for Business

Tony Bradley of PCWorld writes: Apple pulled back the curtain on day one of the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) to share details of the upcoming iOS 5 update and new iCloud service. If they deliver as promised, iOS 5 and iCloud will change mobile computing, and replace RIM as the de facto mobile platform for business.

 

What's the big deal? Well, users already get more done on the go with smartphones and tablets than they do sitting at their desk, and the iPhone and iPad have already been embraced by many users and IT departments, but it has still often felt like swimming upstream, or trying to fit a square peg in a round hole.

 

The updates announced today for iOS 5, and the new features that will be offered by iCloud change all that, and will make iOS the preferred mobile platform for business.
