Takeaway: Will Kelly offers tips on implementing a data less iPad for maximum corporate iPad security.

Security for corporate-owned iPads is a hot topic right now for many organizations. It can draw fire from all sides, especially if it’s a new mobility initiative and security is a concern. Yaacov Cohen, co-founder and CEO of Harmon.ie, turned me onto the concept of the data less iPad for corporate iPad security. It’s a secure — albeit draconian — method for locking down your corporate iPads. With this approach, no data or corporate information actually resides on the iPad.

Takeaway: Will Kelly reviews Projectbook, a new iPad productivity app that combines note taking and to-do lists.

The Mobility Hub – Will Kelly – ISO: True End-to-End Security for iPads & SharePoint

iPad users don’t need to be denied SharePoint access as iPad apps like Coaxion, harmon.ie: Sharepoint Mobile Client, Colligo Briefcase Pro, and others are becoming available in the App Store.

The retina display meant that Jeff could read his access code and email from a few feet away.
