One of the main claims to fame that the iPad has is its
portability. It is about as portable as your typical mobile device without
having to sacrifice too much in terms of screen size, which is why businesses
are quite enamored with the gadget. This is also the reason why so many iPad accessories are created with
improving your business in mind, or at least improving the function of your
iPad so that it'd be easier to use for business purposes.
All the same, the tablet can be quite useful as a standalone
business tool or with some helpful accessories on hand. For example, having
your employees make use of iPads is a surefire way of adding an air of
casualness around your office. This is particularly useful when it comes to
industries centered towards appealing to the youth. Having a casual office
atmosphere is required for game development, for example. With that said, just
because the iPad adds an air of casualness doesn't mean that it's useless
altogether. An iPad allows the office to be in constant contact with you at all
times, plus it enables you to work on whatever important project you have as
long as it's around.
An iPad is much handier if it has a stand attached to it so
that you can use it as a screen of sorts instead of an e-book or document
reader. If you're off to type up documents and other important word files and
reports, then it's imperative that you have a stand and a Bluetooth keyboard
handy so that if and when you're tasked with some encoding or documentation work,
you'll be ready to deal with it in a jiffy.
Furthermore, iPads are particularly useful devices during
presentations and floorshows. It's certainly easier to work your slideshow
presentation with the iPad as opposed to a bulky laptop that you need to access
on the podium or stand every few minutes in order to change slides and whatnot.
The iPad is arguably a hybrid between a smartphone and a laptop or desktop, which means that with the right adapter accessories, it could double as both. You want to call your office with your iPad? There's an iPhone adapter for that. Do you want to edit your pictures and photos for your portfolio? There's a digital camera adapter for that too. As you can plainly see, the iPad is more than just a tablet; indeed, it could serve as anything your heart desires.
