The iPhone is the smartphone of choice for New Zealand police.
Apple has secured a deal with the New Zealand Police to provide 6,000 police officers with iPhones and 3,900 of those officers with iPads.
A report by The National Business Review outlines the details of the ten-year contract that could cost the New Zealand Police AU$159 million (US$163 million). The police claim the investment will provide productivity benefits of AU$305 million (US$314 million) over 10 years, however.

The New Zealand officers apparently preferred the Apple products to the Blackberry, Microsoft, and Google options they were presented with.
New Zealand Police chief information officer Stephen Crombie told NBR: "Based on frontline officer feedback from the trial (over 100 staff in four districts trialed smartphones, laptops and tablets over an 11-month period) the preferred devices are the iPhone as smartphone and iPad for the tablet. The approach used to develop the applications means Police can move to other devices with relative ease as technology changes."
Vodafone won the deal to provide the contracts.

Surface has been a stiff so far, but Microsoft reportedly has big expectations for its next fiscal year. Here's why the company may not be crazy.
Brandon Porco, the chief technologist for defense contractor Northrop Grumman, says that IT will have to try lots of different things and move quickly to keep abreast of evolving employee needs. "Google has it very well-patterned: Launch and iterate."
Although Apple is often accused of not being an enterprise company, it's only in the last few years that Apple has abandoned its enterprise-oriented products. The real story may be that Apple's discovered that making enterprise-focused efforts simply don't deliver a huge return on investment.
