Why have I been using a tablet pc for over 6 years?

Why have I been using a tablet pc for over 6 years?

Strange, I see articles pitching tablet pcs for business users stretching to add value.   When in fact there are so hundreds of reasons to utilize a tablet for day to day work.

For instance:  Real Estate, is a business where the tablet computer is specially suited when used properly.  We have designed, installed and trained agents on how to utilize a tablet in day to day operations while working with a client. I personally recommend the HP Slate 500 Tablet PC Atom Z540 1.86GHz 64GB SSD 2GB 8.9" WSVGA Touchscreen BT Window 7 Professional 2x Webcams (COMMERCIAL FACTORY REFURBISHED) listed at $599 if you are in the marketing today.   This unit is $400 cheaper than my first tablet PC in 2005.

In the early days, when tablet pcs didn't have Verizon or AT&T broadband built in we opted for a HP Tablet that dueled as a laptop because it had a PC Card II slot for a Att broadband card the subsequently a Wimax Card.

This gave us the ability to drive around a city while been synced with our office paperwork, the MLS, our specialized client software and the Web.    We were equipped with a wireless printer in the trunk and screens built into the headrests of our vehicle so  when driving around the clients in the backseat can see what I was looking at real-time.

Sounds perfect right, so why do many agents opt for a smart phone or no computer when out with clients?
