The ‘mobile app gap’ is still a problem

Apple’s Maxi Pad is no laptop or Surface Pro killer – even though it holds up comparatively well for general workforce usage.
This is the prognosis from some in the analyst community and those who will compete against it. The view from the Mac channel understandably differs somewhat.
A relatively late market entrant - not that this has held Apple back before - the iPad Pro packs a 64-bit ARM compatible A9X CPU that is 360 times faster than the original iPad, weighs 1.57lbs, and offers ten hours of battery life, Apple claimed at the launch of the device.
The iPad Pro borrows features from the Surface - a keyboard and pen can be bought separately. This is a nod to the criticisms of past pads; they're usable content consumption devices but aren't content creation kings for most IT pros with battery like Hp HP43120A Battery, Hp M1722A Battery, Hp M1723A Battery, Hp M1758A Battery, Hp M1770A Battery, Hp M1771 Battery, Hp M1772A Battery, Hp M2460A Battery, Biocare Battery, Biocare ECG-101 Battery, Biocare ECG-300G Battery, GE DASH 2500 Battery.
Apple dragged Microsoft on stage at the recent unveiling to demonstrate its wares on the device; Microsoft desperately needs to expand its relaitvely low OS share in a mobile world; Apple needs to appeal to more businesses.
According to the big brains at Forrester, 59 per cent of laptop users at work spend more than three hours using the device, but only 22 per cent of their time on a fondleslab.
In enterprises with 500-plus users, 53 per cent of the tabs in use are employee owned, compared with 21 per cent for laptops - this is the BYOD factor at work. However, the proportion of the pad market sold to businesses is forecast to grow from six per cent of total tab sales in 2010 to a fifth in 2018.
The problem facing Apple is the “mobile app gap”, said Frank Gillet, Forrester veep, and the "[iPad Pro] won’t take massive share from laptop, nor will it dent Microsoft’s Surface Pro 3, which offer a full Windows OS”.
Some companies, including GE, have ploughed cash into iOS – to set up mobile developer centres to convert business critical application into the OS – but many have not.
“Most companies are still contending with decades worth of investment in proprietary software infrastructures. When asked which OS they associate with legacy application compatibility on tablets, 56 per cent of technology decision-makers list Windows, and only 11 per cent list iOS,” said Gillet.
This means there is a divide between tasks workers can fulfil on an iOS device versus Windows, and will push those in charge of Infrastructure and Operations to think of iPad Pro as a “supplemental device”.
iPads and iPhones are "not generally" domain-joined, so users can't access core network folders, and this has necessitated the use of intermediaries, Forrester added. Conversely, the Surface Pro is both domain-joined and manageable via standard PC management tools that are already in use.
