Addressing mobility
• Working in different office locations– Hot desk
• Working at home– Desktop thin client– Mobile thin client for occasional home
workers• Working on-site with clients
– Mobile thin client with WiFi & 3G• Working while travelling
– Mobile thin client with WiFi & 3G• Working offline
– PC laptop for offline mail and writing documents
– iPhone, iPod, iPad, Android phone/tablet for everything else
