The iPad unlike any other computer can take on many use cases. Federico Viticci over at MacStories https://www.macstories.net/stories/modular-computer/ describes this capability in the following “The iPad, unlike other computers running a “traditional” desktop OS, possesses the unique quality of being multiple things at once. Hold an iPad in your hands, and you can use it as a classic tablet; pair it with a keyboard cover, and it takes on a laptop form; place it on a desk and connect it to a variety of external accessories, and you’ve got a desktop workstation revolving around a single slab of glass. This multiplicity of states isn’t an afterthought, nor is it the byproduct of happenstance: it was a deliberate design decision on Apple’s part based on the principle of modularity.”
When using the FormConnect on an iPad, you can use it as a tablet and cradle it in your hand while filling out a form or you can also pair it with a keyboard if you wish to be more precise with your typing. You can also plug it in to an external drive to save or access external photos or forms and use the Apple pencil or stylus to draw, annotate or sign the form.
This multi use case capability makes the iPad the best computer available today. The FormConnect app would not exist without it.
