Ipod to ipad TABLET PC vs them

By
Education & Training with Crossroads Realty

I won an ipod (zillow picked my card) when i did the raincamp in philly. i asked around and wondered if i should trade up to an ipad.

ALL who replyed, thank you. I now own an ipad and apple is $721.00 richer.  WoW these things are expensive.

Tablet PC vs ipad. I have used a couple of Motion Computing's TABLET PC's or slate PC's.  I have found them to be much more of a computer. iPad is light, cool and fun. It's not a computer.  The next generation may make it better but I will use both for my practice. I use the TABLET for much of my work and my iPad for the fun stuff- news, social media, etc.  I still use a laptop too.

I just ordered a Samsung Galaxy Tab yesterday. It has Flash which should allow my MLS to work on it...where as the i-Pad doesn't. I'm really excited. Congrats on the i-pod

Marc, I've never used a tablet, so I can't compare...but I love my iPad.  When showing listings I love that it turns on immediately and there is no bootup delay.  It quickly connects to the web if I need to pull up a Plat Map or Septic Diagram, or anything else.  I also love the portability of it, I get all my morning emails done while waiting to drop off my son at the schoolbus, this used to be "wasted" time, just listening to the radio or waiting for my phone to download emails.  I think there were some great tablets at CES this year, and I think agents who have held off jumping on the tablet or iPad bandwagon will find much to consider this year!
