Future is of tablet computer!


While a tablet of this kind is a great way to experience the web, view photos and videos and use a host of applications, it is also rapidly becoming a business tool. Consumers would use an Apple iPad is so they can work on the go.In India, the use of iPads is coming up in a big way; a majority of the Indian consumers are gung ho over the device and trying to own one at the earliest.

Information workers — and their employers — are seeing the clear value of tablets for work-related activities. More than half of Fortune 500 companies bought iPads in the first few months of their availability. It won't take long before a smart phone and a tablet are many more workers' constant companions. Although the future of tablet computer is bright but there are some key challenges to be addressed:

Scalable performance: Wi-Fi performance is particularly important for tablets such as the iPad or Playbook because Wi-Fi is the only way to connect.

Ease of integration: iPads and the soon-to-be-released Playbook use 802.11n technology, and IT need to ensure these high-performance devices will not adversely affect the performance of clients using legacy Wi-Fi technology.

Strong security: How does enterprise IT ensure that tablet users have convenient access while ensuring that sensitive corporate data is protected?

Mobility with ease: Users expect seamless mobility when using mobile devices. IT must ensure that users can move across the campus, hospital, store or office, without breaking their connection so that productivity will be unimpeded.

Maximizing battery life: iPad gets about six hours (in practice) to ten hours (in theory) of battery life and the Dell Streak gets a full day.
