1. Use a tablet, save a tree.
I'm tired of "save a tree". Trees are replanted in tree farms in far greater numbers than trees being cut down, while using less space. Also, there are other sources for paper but the government has bans put in place, like cannabis. Since this seems like a ploy to make people feel better about them "saving" the environment by avoiding cutting trees down, what about the crap used into making the tablets? How much damage does that do? What about recharging the batteries of these devices?
2. Restaurants replacing menus with tablets
Neat but this was already done before tablets. Didn't take off because the costs were high and they were mounted to the tables.
3. Hyundai Equus replaces the glove box manual with an iPad
wooow an e-manual, how new. Not. I can go to most dealers and requests a pdf for the service manuals for cars even before 1990 for free. This is just Hyundai saving money by not printing a physical manual. Not interesting.
4. Airlines replace paper charts with iPads
Reusing the same usage as number 3 already? WOW desperately looking for something good to say about tablets aren't you?
5. Eliminating paper documents in government
Same as 3 and 4 AGAIN. Digital version that can go on a computer and IS on the computer.
6. Classroom book replacement.
SAME AS 3, 4, AND 5.
7. Replacing the smartboard with an iPad
OMG I'm so shy to get up infront of the class. OKAY lets have the teacher come to you. POINTLESS.
8. Replacement for point-of-sale systems
Okay, you got me on this one if they are indeed a cheaper alternative.
9. Replacing in-store information kiosks.
And you need an iPad for this why? I've seen many malls with this already.
10. The NFL replaces playbooks.
SAME AS 3, 4, 5, AND 6.
11. Could your tablet replace your console?
No. Even if they can have the same computing power, the battery life, the sound, and the controls will suck.
Toms, I am sad about what you've become. From having 6 out of 11 reasons being "use an iPad, save paper cuz only iPad can do this" and the rest being tech uses that has been around for years before the iPad (and is still in use). Seriously? THIS was an article?? And Tomsguiderachel, you replied to someones comment but you couldn't even bother to clean up the spam right above his comment? WOW. I agree, totally shameless plug for the iPad.
