Tablet Uses

by Caleigh_amanda - 4/3/12 10:10 AM

I am looking for a tablet for use at work, it will have to be durable and functional...We have an idea to create a template (in what ever kind of word processing program comes with the tablet) and create the site reviews on the spot that can then be instantly emailed to the site manager and whom ever else needs them...My questions are:
1. Is this possible with a tablet?
2. What tablet would be the best for this use? - Take into consideration durability...we are a structural consulting firm and will be on construction sites...


Any Ideas or suggestions?
Thanks!

It has a connection to send that out on. Besides, if it had such a connection, why would this be in any document?

That is, why not your web site with a page that you fill in your review and send it it.

Oh shades of Yelp!

As to durable devices, Panasonic Toughbooks are the norm. They have tablets as well.

Asus

I agree with Bob, almost every tablet brand will do this.

Get the Asus Transformer line (there is the infinity the tf101 the tf201 the 300) Depending on your price range. The reason I recommend it to you is because it has an optional keyboard dock for an extra $99-$150, this will make it easier for typing out documents or codes or whatever else you are typing, it also has the most ports (with the dock) of any tablet.

Some might be tempted to say the Toshiba Thrive is the most durable..its not..it just looks like it is with how thick it is.
