If you spend most of your work day at your desk, then perhaps a iPad is not for you. But if your job entails being mobile for a good percentage of your day, then a iPad with the FormConnect app is going to make you more productive. Here are some of the reasons:
1. Portability – A iPad is much lighter than a laptop and is easier to tote around. There is no setup required. Tap on the sleep/wake button and you’re up and running.
2. Touch Friendly – A iPad does not require an external keyboard. While I don’t have anything against keyboards, they are not practical when you have to perform a task that requires you to stand while performing your job. The keyboard becomes awkward when trying to cradle the device in one hand.
3. Camera Friendly – A iPad is much more practical to use when taking pictures as its light weight and smaller size make it easier to grasp.
