TOPIC: iPad

Maybe if they added a handle to make it less likely to be dropped, added some more ram, faster processor, dropped the price and worked with something other than AT&T. There's 3 or 4 companies coming out with slates that blow the iPad out of the water with all of the above (except the handle).

Are these three or four companies still windows based??
It usually takes apple a while to get the bugs worked out, but so do many hardware and software companies.
I am confident apple will be listening to their support base and make changes to their next generation of iPads.
There is many different iPad covers on the market now, which protects the unit from falls.  Thanks Dominic

Yes, those were windows machines. The only Apple tablet that has power is the ModBook at Axiotron.com. A few inspectors are using this. The rest use windows tablets and transfer to their Mac once they get home.

iOS 4 is the world’s most advanced mobile operating system. And soon iPad owners will get to enjoy its 100+ new features and innovations — including multitasking, folders, printing, and more. Look for iOS 4.2 coming in November for iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch.1

ok DOM we are getting closer please start making it we have multi task and printing next month

The problem is you still have a 1ghz processor (60% slower than the CTL2Go for the same price), 256 megs of ram and no Java support. I really don't see Home Inspector Pro working until they put OS X on the iPad. iOS 4 is already running as a reduced version of OS X but Apple doesn't want to open it up more so that developers can get in and use it without being forced through the Apple Store.

Dom,
  so you don't like apples "restrictive" or "closed" software systems...?
  You're severely limiting yourself and us as customers, by keeping yourself closed to the easier way of what you're familiar with... "better the Devil you know, than the one you don't?" Apple is moving to more closed system for all of their software with the new "Mac App Store!" soon you won't be able to update a mac program without a similar vetting process as the iOS app store. If I could the sync it to my iMac and quickly add Photos to either print or email it to my client, I'd gladly buy another HIP license to be able to have a basic HIP on my iPad.

How many others of you would buy another license to be able to use your iPad in the field?
