You’ve been to the Apple Store. If you could recreate that in a hotel, that would be a very attractive place to stay. We’re really excited about what Apple’s done with the enterprise SDK.

Bradley Wlaker of Nanonation, on a seminar on Mac in the hospitality industry.

According to a post in the AppleInsider, following the iPhone’s popularity, Apple is all set to explore newer vistas in the computer-industry application domains. The iPhone impact resulted in an unforseen demand for Mac in the US higher education sector. Could the hospitality sector possibly stay behind?

It seems that Apple products have grasped the imagination of media-drome. Nanonation, a platform for integrating digital content and monitors, is working with Apple to bring their technology to a host of luxurious spaces - cruise ships, casinos, convention centers, and both large and boutique hotels. Digital signage and display walls will be initially initiated such as one-to-many information services. Lobby and pool side concierge service will also be enhanced by using the unic featues of Mac OS X.

Public places like kiosks, places where large flat-screen televisions are used also seem to be on Apple’s agenda.

But why Apple?

Thanks to Mac OS X’s outstanding graphics compositing tools, the Nanonation- Mac collaboration provides a browser-independent path to deliver a richer media experience which is unlike most computing systems.

From the students sector, to Enterprise and now the hospitality. Seems like the iPhone 3G has really sparked the imagination of personal computing across medias. On this note, here is a little nugget of information: Mac Minis are the favored computing devices on board ”Freedom of the Seas”, the largest ever passenger ship, built by the Royal Carribean Cruise Lines.
