Hi Anil,
Is your question focused on BO Explorer (iPad or Web?) or more related to the BI BO platform?

BI 4.0 FP3 and above | not supported | supports iPad Support of iPhone planned early Q4/12 | supports iPad |
Hope that is what you were looking for.

Suman,
If you are using BI 4.0 SP02 but before Feature Pack 03 or SP04 then you can use SAP Explorer APP offer er by Apple on iPad. If you using BI 4.0 after Feature Pack 03 / SP04 or better then you still using Explorer but need to use SAP Experience, it has different look and feel.
If you want more info you also get additional doc on MOBILE
- BI 4.0 SP2 to less then FP03 - Use SAP Explorer
- BI 4.0 SP4 ++ - Use SAP Experience
PS: If you update to SP4 and install SAP Mobile BI you can now also view Crystal and WebI reports on the iPad.
Regards
Ajay
