There was a time when PCs were not a staple of enterprise worker "standard issue" productivity gear. Neither were notebook PCs or smart phones. All those products now are staples. And tablets will be next.

The notion that tablets would be treated as second devices to laptops and refreshed every 2.5 years will be costly for IT organizations in the long run, IDC says.
