    Some interesting apps amongst these.

    These actually look like they were designed by real UX team. Usually apps like these are horrible Java middleware crammed full of text and buttons that look nothing like the platform they are running on. Kudos to IBM for that.

  3. Wow for IBM these are pretty nice… My guess is vaporware, my dealings with IBM software have been nothing short of horrible on a good day. Still not sure why Apple chose to partner with them.

    These apps will likely be declared by rivals as being too simple to be useful to anyone. They’re all waiting for the Windows versions that will be extremely complicated to use but will be able to do EVERYTHING for a business. I can already hear the cries of these being “toy apps” because they run on an iPad and not a Windows tablet.

      And, if that were the case, MicroSlop would be having to have “patch Tuesday, Patch Thursday and Patch Sunday” EVERY WEEK!

      No thank you – Having to patch my virtual Windows 7 every second Tuesday drives me crazy: I can only imagine the frustration the LEOs (Law Enforcement Offices) would be feeling if this came to pass on a Windows O/S!

    These are too far from being enterprise , if any body knows ‘Navision’ which is microsoft’s enterprise platform, knows what I mean, I really like Apple platform play a bigger role in the enterprise area, these are a couple of specific purpose apps, I can’t see accounting, payroll, inventory integrated with PO and SO , production, CM and so many more.

    So basically this is what everyone has been doing for years now or what you could get out-of-the-box with Salesforce1.
