    Nope, its you.
    They've piloted the iPhone for 3 years before it was let approved. In addition, they added the iPad into the pilot. They've done a lot of work on it to ensure it was secure on the internal network.

    Are there any plans to switch the sales force to the iPad?

    I don't post here, but I have to respond. 3 YEARS for a pilot? Are you kidding me? It took less time for Apple to create the iPhone for heaven's sake. There is NO way on God's green earth that it should take 3 years to "pilot" a hardware device. That is a core problem with Pfizer IT - they flat out do not move fast enough. Sure, I'm all for ensuring things are secure and reliable - but taking 3 years to pilot something is simply not acceptable. By the time you finishing piloting, the hardware device and software stack (iOS) will have gone at least 2 major updates. And what is worse, is that I *KNOW* that during those 3 years, some (perhaps many) Pfizer executives were using iPhones. So let me get this straight - central IT is worried about iPhone "security" and to vet this, they let the executives (who by the way have access to some of the most sensitive information within the Pfizer network) use the iPhone years before the rest of the staff is allowed to do the same. This is typical but stupid and just reinforces the perception that there is an aristocracy about the leadership and they are fine living double standards. But back to the point about the 3 years - Pfizer IT better start moving faster. Don't pat yourselves on the back because you did such a "rigorous" pilot of the iPhone and iPad when it took you 3 years. Unreal.

    Maybe it was slow, but there isn't much real technical talent left in-house.
    And if they want to qualify new technologies, then they have to deal with that slowness.

    Its just a fact of life Pholks.. If you want it faster, maybe you should have kept some technical talent instead of useless managers
