Tablet looks cool but not the best device for every profession
It's great to walk around with a nice tablet to impress potential clients with your coolness factor, but as far as practically, they might not the best device for every profession.
I'm a real estate agent. Tablets have some drawbacks for me.
1. I like to type my notes because my typing is much fast and more readable than my freehand notes.
Tablet drawbacks:
Do not have real keyboards. (However, you could pair your tablet with a Bluetooth keyboard.)
Image keyboards occupy too much of their limited screen size
Image keyboards don't have the same sense of touch as do real keyboards
Tablet screens are capacitive in nature. Therefore, you need a capacitive stylus. You cannot use an ordinary plastic stylus.
10 inch screen models costs at least $500 and for that price you can buy a fast laptop.
7 inch screen models often cost less than $200. These models typically run older versions of the Android OS and have limited (or no) support for Android Market. This means you might not be able to run the apps you want.
Tablet advantages:
iPad2 is slim, versatile
iPad2 is backed by enough REALTOR-friendly apps to justify its price tag
have built-in cameras, internet connectivity
fast operation
