There are certainly some advantage to splurging on expensive IPads for the people in the ministry so that they can be more productive and collaborate better. Especially, since laptops are too heavy and cannot run these customized apps (the developers must have forgotten about ancient PC's and laptops designed and built in the predawn of the IPad).

But please, showing a guy on a yacht "saving" Greece from his IPad. That is gimmicky and does no credit to Tech Republic. The real story here was the back-end system and we shall not hear about it in this article. Too bad. I would like to hear the end-to-end story that INCLUDED the IPAD, not the story that HARALDED the IPAD as the savior of a nation.
