These days you really can't visit a tech blog without seeing 3 stories on the front page about tablet computers. iPads, Samsung Tablets, BlackBerry PlayBooks, Xooms, and a whole cadre of cheaper wannabe products.
What makes them so hot? Tablets are cheap, tremendously portable, have thousands of apps, but most of all – people love using them. There's just something to interacting with a machine and its software so intimately.
Earlier this year we at Model Metrics commissioned a study by Dimensional Research to find out what exactly businesses are starting to do with these things. The results were interesting to say the least:
- 78% of respondents are deploying tablets by end of 2013
- Only 51% have a strategy on what to do with them
- 72% of participants have iPads, but most of those are just testing the waters
We find this particularly interesting because we've found a few things that work, and work very well. If you've got the time, here is a 30 minute presentation on how you can start using the iPad in your business. Lots of use cases, from field sales to customer service, and anything in between.
