All my pubs are gone - unless I want to go buy a new Ipad 2. Is anyone else as upset as I am about this move?
Getting upset will not change anything. People smarter and better connected than us have been fighting that battle for a while. Microsoft's answer makes sense on many levels, and that is what our employer has decided.

It does seem odd that you've got to buy used (off EBay or the like) to have an "approved" device. They are doing this in preparation of putting everyone on the Surface platform. Why Surface is another debate, which ends with basically, because our employer said so.

You can side load your stuff (as Android guys have always done) or wait. I've not tried it on an iPad, but I'd think the instructions would work. I'm not sure where else to find the instructions, but they are hosted on a thread in the Chitchat forum ... Forums > Computers > iPubs.me

The LCA were thinking they would all get their Surface this week. I'd imagine we are just a few months behind them.
