Hi

If you are an enterprise and have plenty of devices to manage, use an
MDM like airwatch, it is a good product . onsite as well as Saas
version.

Thanks
Harish

It's not currently possible with iOS 5 (although the ones in the Apple
store must have a special build). It is an advertised iOS 6 feature,
although it's not working on our iOS 6 beta device.

As for how Jetstar do it:

In the interest of making the system as user-friendly as possible,
Stellar
went as far as it could within Apple-approved limits.

"We wanted to avoid passengers getting into the settings application
because they could then turn on things like wifi and bluetooth," Reilly
explains. "There's regulatory issues there we have to comply with in
terms
of interference with navigation systems and other safety aspects."

However, as Reilly notes, "as part of their enterprise licencing
agreement, Apple does't allow you to delete the native applications on
the
iPad, such as the settings and contacts application. You could only
remove
those through a jailbreak, and of course a jailbreak is not a solution
for
an enterprise environment and was never considered."

"The only way around that was to dump those apps into a folder and cover

the home button so passengers couldn't get to them", he says, which is
why
the special iPad 2 case used by Jetstar covers the iPad's home button
(and
also the standard Apple 30-pin connector).
