OOH! Here are a couple of cool ios7 features that I hope LC takes advantage of!

[Mike Kerner]

BTW, there is another setting in the control panels, which allows apps to
auto-update in the background, which would also be a bonus - i.e. not
having to hack the app to get it to do something in the background - but
the user will now have control over apps getting a bunch of time for
background processing.  That is a big deal for me.

Right now, on the issue of data protection, there are several ways to set
the control in the app itself.  Now it will be automatic, so it appears
that setting will be obsolete.

If we can do the Per-App VPN in the app, then it makes it much easier to
pass it out to employees for their own personal devices.

As for the managed "open in", again, if you can set it in the app, then the
issue of a personal device isn't an issue.  Right now, if you have control
of the device and you can connect it to iTunes or XCode, you can extract
the data file and manipulate it.  This should make that process much more
difficult, and if you set it in the app, then that's a big, big bonus for
folks distributing apps that go on personal devices.
