Common user experience across devices? We use Blackberry phones! Windows to go? Usefull to max 500 users. Push button reset? Might be handy... Faster boot time?

We have own connection app.

AppStore? FORBIDDEN! We have central distribution of applications to users who really need them. And I don't see AutoDesk products soon in AppStore. We do need AutoCAD...
