And yet these same doctors use Windows for a good bit of their IT. Right.
I hope you find some competent "healthcare IT shops" that can handle the relatively trivial task of locking down iPads sufficiently. As you should be aware, the major threat is social engineering, not any IT issue.
You might want to point your "healthcare IT shops" at Ten iPad EHR security strategies for HIPAA compliance. It was also announced at WWDC that Facetime calls can now be HIPAA compliant.
I expect as Apple continues to perfect voice input, the iDevices will become extremely effective for healthcare. With iDevices already over 70% marketshare among doctors, Win8 will have a tough row to hoe when the products finally ship...don't forget they're still vaporware at the moment.
Nice try, this thread isn’t about the iPad but about the new tablet which will fit in with current corporate tools and controls. A tool which gives the organization control over its data rather than treating everyone like a simple consumer.
