Maybe in a few years I’ll be interested in tablets more. They’re still at the “toy” stage in a lot of ways, but wow are they developing fast.

Things like iPads are great, I just can’t think of a justification for spending the money on them. Yet. In a couple of years, maybe so.

I was lucky enough to get an iPad for free, so didn't spend any money on it, but let me tell you it would have been worth it to buy one anyway. I hardly turn my PC on at home anymore because almost everything I can do off my iPad and its far more convinient to just grab it and go.

I even manage our server farm from the iPad either through RDP sessions or logging in through a Citrix desktop, e-mails of course and just web browsing.

We're looking at them now to replace laptops for field staff, since for the most part they only need e-mail and with the Citrix reciever app they can still get to their desktops if needed.
