Deploy your IBM i apps to your iPad, iPhone and Android Devices

If you could extend the reach of your existing IBM i apps to support the hand-held devices with a minimum of effort, do you think any of your business users may be interested? What if you could give them some new iPad based functionality, using RPG? Maybe they’d start to think the IBM i is pretty modern after all.

“While there are no certainties, the iPad looks set to become a market-disrupting device, like the iPod before it,” “Even if you think it is just a passing fad, the cost of early action is low, while the price of delay may well be extremely high.” Stephen Prentice, Gartner Fellow and vice president.

Here are some recent statistics:

• iMedia tablets ....projected to total 54.8 million units in 2011, up 181 percent from 2010, and surpass 208 million units in 2014.
