Everyone is chasing Apple, so expect some novel developments as the tablet wars heat up as this market niche matures. Each of the tablet operating system providers will need to upgrade IT-related software support capabilities to have corporate customers better manage these devices remotely, as well as handling cyber security threats. In fact, the perceived cyber security threat landscape might impact where each of these tablets is utilized more than the apps do. Microsoft suff ered from being the market leader in desktop/laptops as hackers nitpicked the Windows software for security gaps. With tablet operating systems having reduced functionality as compared to ‘full-service’ operating systems (we are considering Windows 8 RT as compared to the full-blown Windows 8, or Apple’s iOS as compare to its OS X which is used on desktops and laptops), there is seemingly less to attack, but this might not be completely true. Apple iOS, Google Android and Microsoft Windows 8 RT have been vetted by many organizations (including the USAF), but as the expansion of capabilities progresses with more features, connectivity and app-driven functions, cyber security issues will continue to be a concern. The next issue will continue this discussion and focus on the app market and most downloaded aviation-focused apps.
