Those with even the slightest interest in technology will know that the recent wave of tablet devices such as the iPad from Apple are revolutionising the way businesses work.
Why? Well devices like the iPad are able to do what the smaller smart-phones can’t. They can do everything a laptop or PC can, quickly, efficiently and it does it mobile. Tablet devices to sales people means a lot less paperwork, a more dynamic presentation of what they have to show and they can carry out their work quicker due to 3G wireless Internet connections.
I know some sales reps are already doing demonstrations of their windows and doors to customers using tablet devices. They can easily show the customer their products, possible handing over the device to the customer so they can browse images and information for themselves, rather than the sales person controlling the browsing. Showing your window and doors images on such a clear, bright and sharp display can only help persuade your products are the ones for them.
I’m torn currently between 2 devices. Apple are due to announce the release date and specifications of the iPad 2 soon. But I’ve also been looking at BlackBerry’s Playbook tablet device. Their Playbook boasts a dual-core processor, the smoothest touch screen of any of the devices currently available, has a HD display, multi-touch interface and is 2 inches smaller than the iPad. This is due to be released in May according to rumours. The easiest thing to do is take a look at both closely before deciding. But seeing as I already have a BlackBerry torch, and both devices can be paired with each other, I’m leaning towards the Playbook.
The tablet device will change how we sell and how we work, because it’s mobile and can do everything the old devices like laptops and PC’s can do. Those keeping up with technological advancements will benefit. Those currently behind the curve need to catch up with it. Has technology ever moved forward this quickly?

>Must be on a different planet or stuck in the past if you dont agree here!
Perfect peice of tech that will become very handly for people in your position!
maybe wait for the Samsung Galaxy 2…i have read its going to be pretty good!
Obv Ipads are a apple..so things like flash dont work! BUMMER!
>Hey Dan! Yeah that's a major drawback for me, not having Flash, but the Playbook does. And I've read a rumour on it today that it's going to be able to support Android apps, which if true will be HUGE!
>Having used an ipad for the last six months mainly for work, its absolutely invaluable. I really wouldn't ever consider any other device, i am biased towards apple products (27" imac, macbook pro, time capsule, iphone 4, etc etc) but read all the stats and none of the galaxy tabs etc have taken off. none of the developers are writing apps like they are for the ipad and have a look at the apple keynote presentation earlier this week and you'll understand why.The tablet i feel will replace the laptop. without question. i find it more practical, easier to hold… Read more »
>I'm now being more drawn to the iPad Nick. I was originally preferring the Playbook as I could pair it to my Blackberry Torch. But this new iPad does seem to rule over everything else. Like you say, 15 million people can't be wrong, there must be a reason behind all those sales!
Luckily it's shipping very soon, think I'll be ordering one soon!
