IBM isn't just embracing the iPhone and iPad for enterprise apps, the company will also be allowing employees to choose a Mac as a work-issued computer for the first time ever.
The news, which comes from 9to5Mac is sort of a "hell has frozen over" kind of moment. Seriously, you can work at IBM and use OS X.

Apple's IBM Deal Marks the Real Beginning of the Post-PC Era
In an email sent to employees -- and obtained by 9to5Mac -- IBM said that there are already 15,000 Macs deployed through the companies Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) program. The new program will be open to all employees.
Employees will be able to choose from a MacBook Pro, a MacBook Air or a PC when getting a new or refreshed workstation.
IBM says it plans to deploy 50,000 Macs by the end of the year.
A big moment
It truly is an amazing world where IBM, the creators of the PC, are now letting employees opt to using a Mac.
The companies have had a good relationship for some time, but it's still a bit of a jolt to consider that the two companies -- once bitter rivals -- are now getting along.
We couldn't write a post about IBM allowing Mac's in the office without this classic photo of Steve Jobs from Andy Hertzfeld.
