Thousands of federal public servants in Australia could soon have their work laptops replaced with iPads, reports “The Sydney Morning Herald” (http://macte.ch/2c0T8).

Senior officers in the Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs are trialling more than 40 iPads. The trial is expected to conclude in early March. “The Herald” says the department will then decide whether to roll out “thousands of the tablet computers.”
