VMware has been considerably slower than its competitor Citrix in embracing the Apple iPad tablet as an endpoint to manage and consume virtual infrastructures, but it now seems that the company is fully focused on the device.
Exactly one month ago in fact a vCenter Client for the iPad appeared in a short video, with VMware promising a public beta for this October and the GA within the end of the year.
The progress made on that front was shown earlier this week in another video, along with two additional new projects: an iPad version of the web-based self-service provisioning portal of the new vCloud Request Manager, and more importantly, an iPad client for View.
