Any corporation could incorporate Macs and iPhones if they really wanted to but most of them are controlled by Microsoft and Windows-sucking fanboy lapdogs who'll go out of their way to say that Macs can't possibly be approved because they don't meet Microsoft Certification or some crap. I hope those corporations fall on their faces with their ass-dragging attitudes. They won't listen to employees who might like to use Macs or iPhones, they'd rather depend on some Windows-junkie IT manager that grew up worshiping Bill Gates and the Microsoft way of life. There's only one way to them, the Microsoft way.

Good going, ESPN for trying to break the typical corporate stance.]]>Jun 13th 2010 2:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/12/editorial-espn-bypasses-corporate-red-tape-with-ipad-and-xbox-3/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/12/editorial-espn-bypasses-corporate-red-tape-with-ipad-and-xbox-3/Jun 13th 2010 2:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/12/editorial-espn-bypasses-corporate-red-tape-with-ipad-and-xbox-3/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/12/editorial-espn-bypasses-corporate-red-tape-with-ipad-and-xbox-3/Jun 13th 2010 12:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/12/editorial-espn-bypasses-corporate-red-tape-with-ipad-and-xbox-3/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/12/editorial-espn-bypasses-corporate-red-tape-with-ipad-and-xbox-3/

There's good reason too. To get the kind of administration capability active directory and group policies can give you a company needs to pay for even more software, and even then most competing software can't come close to the control. Suffice it to say, it'll be a LONG time before corporations running thousands of machines will use anything else, and it's not just because of ass-dragging (well, unless you want to say Apple was dragging it's ass in not coming up with a solution themselves when designing OS X so it COULD be a large-scale business OS).]]>Jul 14th 2010 11:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/12/editorial-espn-bypasses-corporate-red-tape-with-ipad-and-xbox-3/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/12/editorial-espn-bypasses-corporate-red-tape-with-ipad-and-xbox-3/Jun 12th 2010 11:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/12/editorial-espn-bypasses-corporate-red-tape-with-ipad-and-xbox-3/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/12/editorial-espn-bypasses-corporate-red-tape-with-ipad-and-xbox-3/Jun 12th 2010 11:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/12/editorial-espn-bypasses-corporate-red-tape-with-ipad-and-xbox-3/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/12/editorial-espn-bypasses-corporate-red-tape-with-ipad-and-xbox-3/ESPN does make games so I dont think they had to pay more than other developers for it.

The iPad is just used as a VNC client for a Windows XP based app.

It's hardly something Jobs is personally going to get involved with. The only reason they went with the iPad is because someone probably had one lying around.]]>Jun 12th 2010 12:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/12/editorial-espn-bypasses-corporate-red-tape-with-ipad-and-xbox-3/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/12/editorial-espn-bypasses-corporate-red-tape-with-ipad-and-xbox-3/And my point is that this probably isn't Jobs' call.

They did code on normal computer. But in each case the playback mechanism is new.
