"Tablets are extremely interactive devices, and their unprecedented display of multimedia content is now attracting more and more executives from creative industry corporations, such as ad agencies as well as fashion and design houses to use them internally," said Kok. "Other industries may not see the immediate need to migrate to tablets for business use."

"However," pointed out the Green Tomato chief, "two things may cause a shift within the enterprise. Firstly, cloud computing has been adopted by many corporations and tablets are cloud-friendly. Secondly, many executives have already adopted tablets for personal use and they're demanding their IT departments integrate things such as e-mail clients and remote data access onto their tablets."
