Chart: Top 100 iPad Rollouts by Enterprises & Schools (Updated Oct. 16, 2012)
Summary: In the latest iteration of my rankings of the largest iPad deployments, K-12 schools step into the spotlight.
As part of my research mapping the largest iPad and other tablet deployments by schools and universities, I also updated my list of the largest publicly-known iPad deployments, including companies, governmental agencies, etc.
Notable additions include Coachella Valley Unified School District, one of the poorest districts in the US, which has deployed 4,000 iPads, and may, depending on outcome of Nov. ballot, deploy another 16,000, according to Superintendent Dr. Darryl Adams.
Long Island University, one of the first large deployments on my list, will soon be up to 19,000 iPads. Conde Nast has 5,000 iPads. In Minnesota, West St. Paul has 1,550 and Minnetonka High School has at least 1,000 (thanks to Eric Simmons, director of technology at New Ulm Schools).
There's also Lincoln School in Costa Rica (1,464 iPads), Croswell-Lexington Schools (MI) with 1,700 iPads, East Allen County Schools (IN) with 7,780 iPads, Roche (formerly Genentech), now up to 13,070 iPads, McAllen School District in Texas (moved from 5,000 to 25,000 iPads deployed), Clinton Public Schools (now up to 1,350 iPads), Encinitas Union (upgraded to 4,500 from 3,700 iPads), Abilene Christian University (Texas), Eanes ISD (Texas), the Leeds School of Medicine and Essa Academy (UK), Hult International Business School, Ft. Bend ISD (Texas), Prince George's County Schools (Maryland), Rochester (MN) School District, Mansfield County Schools (Texas), Vancouver & CDI Colleges, Beaufort County (GA) schools, Farmington (MN) schools, Muncie (ID) Community Schools, Encinitas Union (CA) Schools, Hopkins (MN) schools, and many, many more.
(Many thanks to my tipsters including Dr. Adams, Charles Clickner, head of technology at Lincoln School, Theo Kerhoulas, principal at Croswell-Lexington Schools, Kurt Dager in the IT department at East Allen County Schools, Paul Lanzi, Roche manager for enterprise mobile applications, George Saltsman, director of mobile learning at Abilene Christian University, Kevin Hime, superintendent, Clinton Public Schools, Mike Guerena, tech director at Encinitas Union, Jill Burdo, tech integration specialist at Ramsey Middle School (MN), Yousuf Khan, CIO of Hult Intl. Business School, Brett Belding, senior IT manager at Cisco, Thomas Burgess of Lexington School District One (SC), Cathleen Richardson of Apple, and anyone else I might have stupidly forgotten.)
Indeed, nearly 70 out of my top 100 are K-12 schools.
My readers have probably seen some version of this list before, which I've updated every few months for the past year.
Besides the new schools on the list, the major differences with this version are:
a) I've expanded it from 50 to 100;
b) I've changed the way I've embedded the list, hopefully making it more attractive and readable.

Second, using connectors like Citrix, you can tunnel securely back to your corporate network to access data and applications on their servers. Not my preferred technique, though, because of the sluggish performance of virtual desktops.
Third, there are lots of enterprise apps emerging, from my employer (SAP/Sybase) and others.

Can one use iPad w/o purchasing Apple's S/W?
For instance I will be using the WiFi at my home (or elsewhere) and I do not want to enroll to any 4G or 3G connectivity. Are there free apps for say photo management, video, or other common home / office tasks ? Or do I need to lock in expensive Apple apps?
thanks ...
There are free/cheap apps galore on App Store

Trying hard as I can!
You seem very plugged in. Would you be willing to share more info or leads? Please post here or contact me at ericyolai@gmail.com, thanks!
Great info and looking for continued updates
Just some stats for those interested:
Cisco has today almost 50,000 BYOD active devices - 20% lower support cases for mobility - 29% lower per user cost and 33% higher satisfaction.
Learn more here: http://newsroom.cisco.com/release/854754/Cisco-Study-IT-Saying-Yes-To-BYOD
Also - what is with Korea Telecom? If you have ever been in Korea you know that the Korean's are in general very supportive of their own country products. Must have been some big push from Apple on that one.
Anyway Eric - again thanks for the info and look forward to getting more updates on this.

Impressive!
Agree that breaking down corporate-liable vs. BYOD is important. It would be very hard to break that down - most people don't report that. When it becomes more commonplace, I'll see what I can do about adding that data...
