Back in 2012, Apple CEO Tim Cook had stated that he spends about 80-90% of his time on the iPad. However, it was recently reported by WSJ that Cook feels everyone should be on the iPad just as much as he is. It was also reported that he thinks the vision should become reality due to the partnership with IBM. Cook stated:
There’s no reason why everyone shouldn’t be like that. Imagine enterprise apps being as simple as the consumer apps that we’ve all gotten used to. That’s the way it should be…
Apple and IBM said the ambition is to reimagine how people work by connecting securely the insights gleaned from big data analytics with an easy-to-use app on smartphones and tablets that consumers are familiar with.
IBM Chief Executive Virginia Rometty said Apple engineers are able “to take the complex and render it simple.”

One of the first apps under the new initiative helps airline pilots determine the appropriate amount of fuel to carry on a flight. This requires not only crunching data but presenting it in an easy-to-understand way on the pilot’s tablet computer.
Cook stated that he could see “everyone in every enterprise” using an iPad someday. We’re not sure if this vision is a fat-fetched one or one that could potentially happen. What are your thoughts on the matter? Let us know below.
