Apple and IBM have announced a business partnership that will see the two firms co-develop business-centric apps for iPhones and iPads.In addition, IBM will start selling business clients Apple's mobile devices pre-installed with the new software.
The two firms were one-time rivals, with Apple's 1984 advert depicting itself as an upstart challenging what was a dominant IBM.
One expert said it was too soon to know how significant the deal would be.
"It's hard to know without the details," said Ken Dulaney, an analyst at the tech consultancy Gartner.
"If you want to use an iPad in retail, for example, and you want to create a locked-down environment there's something called supervisor mode for which a flag in the device must be set.
"The only way you can have it preset for you today would be to buy the device from Apple - they record the serial number and provide a related web service that people can get access to.
"The question for me would be: Does IBM now have the privilege to set that flag when they ship?
"If it does that would be a significantly deeper relationship than with other resellers."
Co-developed apps
The firms' press release provides limited detail about what the first "IBM MobileFirst Platform for iOS" apps will do, beyond saying they would draw on IBM's expertise at analysing large amounts of information to help "retail, healthcare, banking, travel and transportation, telecommunications and insurance" among other industries make efficiency gains and take advantage of the cloud.
