Death Of The Laptop Greatly Exaggerated – Report

The Register’s Drew Cullen reports that some 644 IT pros took time out to complete The Reg’s recent survey into mobile computing in business, and the data collected has been organized in a new 14-page whitepaper by The Register’s research partner Freeform Dynamics. It’s called “Mobile Computing Checkpoint: The present and future of flexible working,” and can be downloaded for free (registration required).

Cullen cites study analysts Dale Vile and Andrew Buss’s finding that IT professionals think the importance of fully functional laptop computers at work will increase rather than decrease over the next three years: in other words that tablets and smartphones are not about to replace laptops anytime soon but rather will remain nice to have third devices for more general professional use, at least in the short to medium term.
