Zagg Keyboard + Jailbreak + Bluetooth Mouse + Citrix Reciever = Windows on the iPad with all the advantages the Apple hardware provides such as light weight, etc. and none of the stupid apple "features."
Seems like someone put some thought into this already...
My company uses Citrix to virtualize everything. I have had office, outlook, remote desktop on my ipad via Citrix for over a year and it is great for meetings, presentations, doing inventory, and just using an excel spreadsheet as a checklist. I can log on to my machine at work anywhere over 3G and have instant access to all my internal resources over a secure connection.
Text input? Are you kidding? Combine Citrix Reciever with a ZAGG keyboard, jailbreak it, and you have an extremely effective machine for basic document editing and creation, a very powerful terminal emulator for network admin (my job) and access to all those lovely legacy tools like the fax modem connected to my PC via a serial cable so I can administer the Nortel PBX. Best thing is, all the processing is done on the server at work and if you lose the connection everything is where you left it when you reconnect.
All this discussion about iPads having a place in enterprise is retarded, (literally, slow minded) the tools are already out there only Apple didn't develop them in house.
So what are some actually effective countermeasures?
Those sprays do not work, or only in limited scenarios.
So what might work? Infrared Lasers blinding the cameras, IR LED flashes? Retro reflective coatings on the plate surface to direct the light downward?
About the only effective thing I can think of is to replicate Steve Jobs' system of driving without plates.
