I bought an iPad [original, not the newest iPad 2] a few months ago. I am a champion of owning one now, for sure. A number of you have the big 18x24 photo books that are marvelous sales tools. They are real attention-getters for trade shows.
But with the spectacular screen on the iPad, you can use that for a photo show too. Photos look even better than on a notebook PC, I believe. And, it is very fast and easy to do a show on.
The bonus is that it does have Wi-Fi [or some models are wireless.....which I don't think is necessary in most cases] so you have web and email access plus you can open and edit MS Office docs and do lots of other cool things....including watching movies on the airplane in style.
It is small and light weight and travels really well. You are not going to get the kind of work done on it that you would on your notebook or desktop, but it's a super tool. They cost between about $400 and $600. If you need more techy info, just let me.
I partly agree.
ReplyDeleteOne must select the tools that do the job without distracting from what we really want to achieve.
I work with a simple phone, and check E-mails everywhere when I have time to do it with a "surfing stick" that costs just EUR 10.- a month. My Motto: focus.

Exactly. That why I did not buy an iPad with a data plan. I have a Blackberry for mobile phone, Internet access and email, so an iPad with a data plan would be unnecessarily redundant.
ReplyDeletePlus Google Voice [Is that available in Europe] works great for not missing any phone calls.
