With all the excitement over the past week about the launch of the Apple iPad we have been getting people asking us – “does simPRO work on the iPad?”
First of all, if you have been asleep for the past week, the iPad is the new tablet computer release from Apple. It has sparked a lot of renewed interest in the tablet computer that has been available in various guises for many many years.
The tablet never really took off except for a few specialised industrial uses (simPRO has been available on most of the devices often called Ultra Mobile PCs for a few years).
The iPad has sparked this renewed interest in this computer format for a number of reason:
1) It is Apple and they put their brand reputation into it and let the Apple FanBoys whip up uber excitement across the web.
2) Since it is Apple you are pretty sure that it will look good and it will work.
3) It is actually a fraction of the cost of standard Windows based UMPCs & tablets.
4) Netbooks have been around for awhile and people are open to the smaller form factor that is mostly designed to be a web browsing (thin client) style product, not an all singing all dancing power computer.
5) As it is built on the iPhone OS, it will be supporting all the existing (squillions) of apps for the iPhone.
So – where does it fit in with simPRO systems. It fits in very well actually. Considering that it is effectively a stylish touch screen portable web browser, the iPad is a perfect fit for the simPRO user.
