Our IT department have some tablet PCs that they are letting people have a play with to see if they have a use for them. We liked the idea. Small enough to carry with a tool kit but big enough to see a service manual etc but the real use came with a reali time link to the database for job logging etc. IF an engineer is out fixing something they canreceive the next job directly without having to return to the workshop just to pick up a piece of paper. It your also make logging on of large assets such as x-ray rooms easy no more bits of paper with scribbled notes and then back t base to use the computer. And with a 3G dongle there is no limit to the range you can visit satelite units and community places with the same technology.
Also a tablet PC uses a "standard" operating system so no need for special software, You could use a laptop in the same way but the tablet is smaller and easier to carry round andd use.
The technology is out there why not use it?
