As most of you will already know, Mr Jobs is due to announce a new gadget today which is strongly rumoured to be a tablet based device with all of the connectivity the iPhone delivers using a 7-10" touch screen.
Strong intel suggests the device will be running iPhones OS version 3.2. if this is the case, then MobileIron's iPhone Device Management platform should support the tablet easily.
If the tablet is real and the device is a grown up (in size) iPhone then many Enterprise clients will see it as a natural alternative to bulky laptops and fiddly netbooks. With MobileIron, securing, controling and managing them will be a breeze.
The event begins @ 17:00 UK time with the big pitch starting @ 18:00. I, for one, want one already. Do you ?

Apple and Oracle on Way to Do What IBM and Microsoft Could Not
The more I thought about it, the more these two companies are extremely
well positioned to actually fulfill what other powerful companies tried
to do and failed. Apple and Oracle may be unstoppable in their
burgeoning power to dominate the collection of profits across vast and
essential markets for decades.
Apple is well on the way to dominating the way that multimedia content is priced and distributed, perhaps unlike any company since Hearst in its 1920s heyday. Apple is not killing the old to usher in the new, as Google is. Apple is rescuing the old media models with a viable online direct payment model. Then it will take all the real dough.
The iPad is a red herring, almost certainly a loss leader, like Apple TV. The real business is brokering a critical mass of music, spoken word, movies, TV, books, magazines, and newspapers. All the digital content that's fit to access. The iPad simply helps convince the producers and consumers to take the iTunes and App Store model into the domain of the formerly printed word. It should work, too.
Oracle is off to becoming the one-stop shop for mission-critical enterprise IT ... as a service. IT can come as an Oracle-provided service, from soup to nuts, applications to silicon. The "service" is that you only need go to Oracle, and that the stuff actually works well. Just leave the driving to Oracle. It should work, too.
This is a mighty attractive bid right now to a lot of corporations. The in-house suppliers of raw compute infrastructure resources are caught in a huge, decades-in-the-making vice -- of needing to cut costs, manage energy, reduce risk and back off of complexity. Can't do that under the status quo.
In doing complete IT package gig, Oracle has signaled the end of the best-of-breed, heterogeneous, and perhaps open source components era of IT. In the new IT era, services are king. The way you actually serve or acquire them is far less of a concern. Enterprises focus on the business and the IT comes, well, like electricity.
This is why "cloud" makes no sense to Oracle's CEO Larry Ellison. He'd rather we take out the word "cloud" from cloud computing and replace it with "Oracle." Now that makes sense!
