Interesting report from Paul Kunert in The Register that Barclays has bought 8500 Apple iPads (via dealer Insight UK) for use in branches utilising their Mortgage Brain App.
This is one of the biggest single UK orders for iPads in the enterprise. It was reported to have been won in competition with other tablets with Barclays choosing probably the most expensive option. I don’t know it Microsoft’s Surface was in contention but this is exactly the kind of corporate application that Microsoft should be expected to win. So Apple passing Barclay’s significant security requirements to win this contract should be a major worry for Microsoft.
