TOPIC: Can you email an inspection Report from an ipad mini ?

Thinking about purchasing an ipad mini ....

No, mobile devices don't have the power we need to create the PDF.

if you have an ipad mini...does it have to have an apple laptop to download too?
( if I have the Mobile sync )
Will an ipad mini download to to a Microsoft soft laptop using the mobile sync?

No, it'll work with a Windows or Mac.

Will the new Ipad Pro be able to handle the entire inspection process from start to finish without uploading to the cloud? Or, will there be an upgrade to HIP to allow the new Surface Pro 4 to take pictures directly into the report so it can be completed without batch adding photos? I'm jockying for a new tablet this Black Friday and want to know which way to go..

No the iPad still can't handle the advance PDF creation we need. The tools aren't available that we need.

I haven't been able to test the Surface Pro 4's camera out. Up to this point there's been no Windows device out that is capable of taking decent photos on site. Maybe the Pro 4 will change that but it doesn't make sense to spend hundreds of hours adding this feature in development until we have devices ready to handle it and users ready to use when we have tons of other projects that affect everyone. Hopefully tablets will start getting better soon!
