I am one who believes that the ipad is revolutionary for NPO’s.

Especially after hearing from the tech team at Highway T. They were convinced that a revolution was occurring. They both believed that tablets would dominate the market, which is no great prediction.

However, they also demonstrated how useful ipads were for social workers, who typically have to be on the go during their shift.

Imagine being able to use one in the field. The speed and versatility is amazing. It is nearly weightless. Oh, did I forget to mention that ipad2 just came out?

The new version is half the weight with twice as much battery life.

Okay, I know that it just sounds like a new toy, and in many ways, it is. But the ipad has potential built into it, just like Google apps. The ability of third parties to integrate with the ipad is what makes it so potentially useful. This allows users to dictate what gets created.

The ipad is changing the game for sure.  This link is to a post about some of this potential. The author, Lawrence Keyes, is not quite sold on the ipad, but realizes that it’s price and it’s promise is without equal.
