My mains requirements and how iPad can solve them so that I can work offsite are:-

•Outlook functionality. I.e. track appointments and respond to emails.

iPad has got the calendar and email...

Run this query to find which service pack you have:-

SELECT SERVERPROPERTY('ProductLevel')

This function returns returns:-

'RTM' = shipping version

'SPn' = Service Pack version ('n' being the version no.)

'Bn' = beta version
