iPhone?
2.5 reasons. One, if it can be shown (I haven't seen anything to
support this) that users can be more productive on an iPhone, that
is one way to justify increased costs. Two, if it can be shown to
be more functional (e.g., there will probably be a crush of new
applications released starting next month bringing all sorts of
new functionality to the iPhone), that is another way to justify
increased costs. And two point five, if NOAA does develops any
vertical apps for internal use, the iPhone with its solid and
powerful development environment would make an idea choice. A
better development and deployment platform is another
justification for the higher cost.
