By Ben Jarvis


Smart phones have already helped businessmen keep connected while they're on the move. With the rebellion of tablets, this trend has advanced one level higher, and the display size has gotten larger, but the portability remains.

SDLC

Tablets aren't just status symbols or patron toys, but business tools that add some value to any organisation. The new technology trend has not adversely influenced the SDLC that is highly loved among techies.

Some features which make the tablets preferred are:

Touch interface and simple applications

B2C applications that are made simpler

Goal setting

It is very important to set goals when it comes to tablet deployment. Without setting goals, it is hard to judge the correct software and hardware combinations. This goal setting process should involve management, IT, and the probable users of the hardware.

But what should ideally be the goal? To serve a mobile user base? This is a vital thing that setups are doing presently. They're setting goals regarding their tablet use.

OS

Deciding the right operating software is urgent also. The selection of the right operating software is not as easy to make as on a PC or a Mac. The major operating systems for tablets are iOs, Android, WebOS, Windows 7, and Rim OS. While there are more operating systems too , these are the major ones. Another vital point is USB protection and if the OS provides it.

Size

Tablets come in several sizes, and it's principally a matter of personal preference. Generally, 7 inch tablets are the best for content consumption instead of content production. Since viewing documents, reading emails, skimming the internet etc are simpler on a 7 in. screen, this size is more popular in tablets. Besides, tablets do not have their own keyboards, but depend on virtual keyboard, so screen width becomes a very important consideration.

Support

The last significant point that affiliations keep under consideration while using tablets is support and coaching for the utilisation of the tablet. With the right kind of support and training, the staff can use the tablet effectively in almost no time.
