The I pad, a future in arb?

[ad15]

I am thinking the Ipad would be a very usefull tool on site, the ability to get detailed info on site for fungi pests and diseases, act as your portfolio of works and provide an image display for explaining technicals to clients, and even banging up large scale maps oo site if it can be GIS enabled.

 

And then god knows what apps there will be later!

 

any one got one?

I have been thinking of getting a tablet type pc for quoting etc, but all around the 700 -800 mark and a bit bulky not good bat life etc. Did not rate the ipad but had some time over best buy in essex (great store) had abount and hours play with one looked at all the progams that I could use for work and not the games and I was surprised.

 

Think I am coming around to the idea. My kids love them of course.

 

Best network is g3 at the moment at 15 a month and you can turn that off when you are in a wi area, which around the london area is very good cover.

I'd be looking at a Samsung Netbook instead, for about £300, as it runs a complete suite of PC software and is beautifully designed.

 

The only exception would be if I *really* needed the connectivity.
