Phones, like the Electrify, come with warranties. Companies that provide a phone for you generally like you to keep their devices under warranty. When Google decides that market fragmentation is too great of an issue and starts making its own devices that are always upgradable to the current version upon release then Android will become a real OS. Until then, those of us that can't void our warranties are stuck with whatever support USCC decides to give us.

6 month old phone that still hasn't gotten past 2.3. Wake me when this is news.

Once Hypercard is open source then the world will be complete.

Does your phone self destruct if you mod it? Where others don't... Droid does!

Ok. Too literal people. The admins can have a provisioning PC/Mac without the employees having a computer.

For employees that access everything through a web browser, email, and jabber the iPad with a keyboard dock will be the perfect client. I've been using mine for a month now and haven't found a situation where I've needed to use a desktop. The iPad also has the added functionality that if we don't give them the password to the app store, we control what they can install on it and with no flash support they won't be spending all day playing games.

right up until we can get iPads and then everyone gets an iPad. No more desktop computers.

I believe it is more accurate to say that they are not raising the price on everyone to keep an outdated service active for a few.

I would also have to recommend MSE. It was the only program to completely clean a co-worker's PC that was used very promiscuously.

You can configure a firewall rate limiting statement based on source ip address using ipfw. Then just have an applescript that toggles this than can be run as soon as you notice the computer getting slow.

The iPhone/iPod does. Why wouldn't the iPad which runs the same OS?

It really is a shame that you have to install a driver for a non-native file system. It's like trying to use HFS+(or ext2,3 for that matter) in Windows. Apple has chosen those file systems that they feel best meshes with OS X's feature/security sets. BSD chose theirs.
