Does Your Small Business Need An iPad?

February 4, 2010

Apple have launched their latest offering, the iPad, and in the way that only Apple can they have most certainly got people talking; although not all of the comments about the iPad have been singing its praises. So, what functionality aspects of the iPad make it a must-have for small businesses? Or is it a case of style over substance when it comes to the iPad?

The main function of the iPad that will make it beneficial for small businesses is the ability to access the internet from wherever you are, using 3G technology. This will allow iPad users to visit any website they can from their PC or Mac from the iPad; for WinWeb users in particular this opens a whole host of possibilities. When the iPad and WinWeb are used simultaneously a small business will be able to send e-invoices and e-quotes to customers wherever they are. Those cumbersome train journeys will never again be wasted hours as you will be able to be in contact with customers and potential clients on the go!

The ability to access your email anywhere that there is 3G capability or a WIFI hotspot is also a major positive; never again will you miss an email whilst you are out of the office. The application that Apple has developed to allow users to use iWork on the iPad means that users will also be able to create and edit documents on the go. These reasons alone, added to the fantastic screen, portable size, 3G capability which sets it apart from most Notebooks, and quite frankly, gorgeous styling means that the iPad has our thumbs up!
