I'm not saying i have a solution for the problem. I just wonder how long before it will be unacceptable that you can do so much more with your own equipment at home faster, easier and at a lower cost than you can do at work.

It could just be more flexible and more user friendly. Make something you can just install your own software on, but lock down the enterprise part, so only authorized programs can access data or network services that should be locked down. I think that may already be possible with the ipad in combination with the apple enterprise deployments, but i'm not really sure how strict their security model is. And if system administrators trust the security model enough to allow this.

ah, they have made the tablet fit for the enterprise and followed a simple recipe:

- make it great for the system administrator
- put outdated heavily modified software on it that likely will not be updated with a newer version
- put in the option to limit it severely, which the administrator likes, but the end user will hate
- make it extra bulky with a small screen
- make it more expensive
- add a particularly ugly docking station

So, make something less convenient to use for more money, and it'll sell very well in the enterprise world.

Put in your cabinet of curiosities of course, and show to visitors. What else would you ever do with it? The title Prince of Orange is held by the crown prince of the Netherlands. It refers to the french city called 'Orange'. The title still exists, but is not a claim of any sort on the city of Orange, which is part of France. See wikipedia for the rather strange history of the term
