Paper Abstract
There has not been a perfect storm of powerful analytical delivered in a mobile and visually compelling way before until now with SAS delivered on the iPad.  The iPad is redefining a new category of computing allowing users to access their data anywhere with 3G access yet extending its multi-touch with accelerometer interface of the iPhone to a larger format.  This paper will explore the delivery of SAS analytics to the iPad and expand on the following areas:

• Data Access – Data and analytics summary reports can be accessed anywhere with 3G and Wi-Fi that will extend the traditional laptop view.
• Interactive View – The multi-touch and accelerometer of the iPhone has shown to revolutionize the interactive experience.  This will be expanded with a higher resolution and larger view of data, reports and graphs.
• Mobile Business – The initial software on the iPad will include games, media and entertainment which demonstrate the power and speed of the device.  This will gain market share and make it more ubiquitous.   Business applications can take advantage of this and allow for a larger audience to conduct business by interacting and reviewing business analytics without being shackled to the office chair.
• Communicating Data – Sharing and explaining detailed analytics to a customer or colleague has been limited to static power point presentations or paper reports.  The ability to show and communicate detailed business information in a visually interactive manner will enable more effective sharing of information.
