Sounds like post facto justification to me - they /wanted/ iPads - I'll bet they all already have council-bought laptops that would do the job. Yes Apple are edging out RIM for push email devices, but a lot of people are forgetting why they (or the IT dept. back when they had one) chose RIM in the first place: they are rock solid secure - for example the Indian Govt are considering banning RIM because their security people *can't* crack the encryption, they have expressed no such problems with Apple.
