One gripe you’ll hear about Pages ’09, Apple’s otherwise excellent word processing and page layout application, is that it provides little in the way of support for printing labels.

We use Sophos for Windows at work, largely because it has multi-layered access points for users and administrators. Which, in effect, means “them” in IT can keep their jobs by justifying they are needed to make sure the company server is updated with the latest virus definitions.

I'm not saying that I suddenly have the need to print, but I can certainly see someone making the case for needing to print from an iPad more so than from an iPhone or iPod touch.
