“Global business and financial information network, Bloomberg, this morning announced the all-new Bloomberg Professional app for the iPad Pro – and that’s a big deal for Cupertino,” Jonny Evans reports for Computerworld.
“The app, which also includes Apple Pencil support, has been specifically designed to fully exploit the tablet’s 12.9-inch Retina Display,” Evans reports. “This means it delivers real-time data, comprehensive news, technical graphs, portfolio tracking and IM tools for use by Bloomberg customers.”
Bloomberg “says it chose to introduce support for the iPad Pro in response to user needs, citing year-on-year increase in Bloomberg Terminal usage on mobile,” Evans reports. “‘More than 75 percent of all users are accessing the Bloomberg Professional app on Apple products,’ the company said… Naturally, where Apple’s iOS products lead, its Macs frequently follow, and as the largest and most successful enterprises migrate to Tim Cook’s mobile products, it seems inevitable Apple’s ‘unprecedented’ market share increases across enterprise markets will continue.”

Speaking of the iPad Pro, why the hell is Samesung being so slack? They should’ve had an iPad Pro clone out a month or so ago!
After some incredibly naff nonsense this past year, I’m skeptical of using ‘Bloomberg’ and ‘Professional’ in the same sentence. But I wish their app well.
