Does the world want an iPhone app that allows you to connect, browse and pivot SSAS cube data? What features would that app have? Is there existing apps that are close? Looking for others thoughts on this concept. Thanks in advance!

i think you can browse the data via Safari if there is a web front end to the cube. i read SSRS generated reports on my iphone that are emailed to me. probably the best way to view SQL data on an iphone

I understand reports and dashboards are available using SSRS via browser or even through other third party apps. However, these methods don't allow you to explore cube data in a way you would using Excel pivot tables or now with PowerPivot. The theoretical customer is the power cube user who spends a lot of time exploring cube data and creating custom pivots. The user is able to drill into data on their iPhone to find answers. Another way to phrase the question: Is there a market for deep mobile data exploration?

maybe for the iPad or one of the upcoming Android tablets since they are just laptops lite. as an iphone user it's usually lite use for me. if i am sitting for an extended period of time than chances are that i can use my laptop easily and it's easier doing work on it.

IMHO, you should start with a topic that will grab people's attention, to allow for the investment it will take to do that sort of digging via iPhone. Needs to be easy, and information that they want to see.
If you can figure that out, then sure, why wouldn't they want to access the data over their phone, and get it anywhere?
If it's just data, not particularly compelling data, and/or it's something they would use for research/work, then they'll likely be near their laptop, or can wait until they are, and then why bother with the phone.

I was thinking about this last night, one place it would be particularly useful would be for physicians. Tied to a notification that a patient status changed, they could then dig through the data to find out what they needed.
Just a thought.
