<strong>Tablet</strong> <strong>PC</strong><br />
The Coming of a New Age<br />
At the mention of the ‘<strong>Tablet</strong> <strong>PC</strong>’, one cannot help but form images of Apple’s<br />
iPad and its flawless touch screen features in their minds. The success of<br />
this fancy computing object, released in April 2010, was made possible by a<br />
combination of technological innovations and marketing expertise. With sales<br />
totaling 15 million in 2010, the iPad is symbolic of the coming of a new age.<br />
Indeed, over 80 new tablets were announced to compete with the iPad in early<br />
2011 – the year of the tablet <strong>PC</strong>.<br />
For the few that have yet to catch up with technological advancements, a tablet<br />
<strong>PC</strong> is a medium-sized computer in a slate enclosure without a keyboard or<br />
a mouse. It features a touch screen display that utilizes a stylus, digital pen,<br />
or fingertip as the primary input method. This concept of mobile computing is<br />
nothing new. Microsoft® and others developed their version of the tablet <strong>PC</strong> in<br />
the 90s, but were often criticized to be underpowered, bulky, and plagued by<br />
inefficient use of stylus or digital pen.<br />
Along with the stable growth of tablet <strong>PC</strong>s in the consumer market, R&D<br />
breakthroughs have continuously resolved problems encountered by past<br />
designs and ensured the usability of such devices. Nowadays, a low power<br />
consumption fan-less CPU provides better system reliability; the availability of<br />
lightweight embedded OS greatly enhances computing power; the development<br />
of sophisticated touch-screen technology offers a more intuitive way of working<br />
with computers; and the penetration and integration of wireless technology<br />
makes communication effortless. In addition, due to its mobility, ease of use,<br />
and wide applications, the tablet <strong>PC</strong> is becoming and will be the most natural<br />
adoption for the enterprise sectors.<br />

Introduction<br />
<strong>Tablet</strong> <strong>PC</strong><br />
Industrial PDA<br />
(EDA)<br />
Automotive <strong>PC</strong><br />
For example, in the healthcare industry, getting the right information at the right<br />
time can often mean the difference between life and death. It is imperative for<br />
clinicians to receive the most up-to-the-minute information throughout all stages<br />
of the care delivery process. The mobility of the tablet <strong>PC</strong> not only improves the<br />
accuracy of patient data entry, it also offers quick access to complete patient<br />
data and reference materials at point-of-care. The result is safer, more efficient<br />
and higher quality patient care.<br />
In the construction industry where workers are accustomed to computing while<br />
standing or walking, a full function tablet <strong>PC</strong> combined with rugged durability<br />
greatly increases productivity and reduces risks. It allows for real time data<br />
capture and verification of inspections, punch lists, and schedule updates while<br />
keeping projects on time and within budget. Engineers can access and mark-up<br />
plans and drawings from anywhere in the field, enabling faster decision-making<br />
and up-to-date information gathering. Job site safety is constantly monitored,<br />
minimizing litigation risks.<br />
For sales representatives expected to work from anywhere, a tablet <strong>PC</strong> offers<br />
more than just a way to create and deliver engaging presentations. It allows<br />
the user to maintain and access accurate customer information on the road,<br />
complete contracts, upload orders remotely, and track asset transfers instantly.<br />
By using a tablet <strong>PC</strong> to automate forms and file sales reports, salespeople no<br />
longer need to re-key data back in the office.<br />
IEIMobile believes the tablet <strong>PC</strong> will inspire<br />
unfathomable innovations and we are here to<br />
provide a platform where industries can explore<br />
unlimited opportunities.<br />
