Tablet solutions are only successful if applied to clearly defined business practices.

Many practices that initially seem good for tablets to perform can required certain inputs such as two hands, keyboard or mouse. Or it could be the small screen that becomes an issue.

On the other hand, tablets offer easier access to information to improve productive.

One tablet to consider is the HP Slate 500

It features an 8.9-inch diagonal LED screen, weighs 1.5 pounds and accepts both digital pen and finger input. It features multitouch gestures and includes integrated front and rear webcams. It also has USB ports and an SD slot which allows you to quickly upload photos from your camera SD card or show a PowerPoint from a SD/USB stick. Oh, and of course, it supports Adobe Flash and Air. You can probably imagine a thousand applications of the device in business scenarios. Wouldn’t it be great if after a car accident, your insurance agent could take your statement, photograph and video the scene, and send all the information to the claims office on the spot? That’s the direction we’re heading for our business customers. Check out the video below to see it in action. Or peruse pictures of it here.
