Is the personal computer dead? The usefulness of Apple’s iPads and other mobile devices has been heavily debated in legal organizations; the “consumerization” of IT has been extensively discussed. Also in the conversation: desktop virtualization and cloud computing. What do they all have in common?

Lawyers and other professionals demand “always-on” connectivity. Consider that just a few years ago the definition of a mobile user was someone connecting online from home or perhaps a hotel room, or a client’s office.
