These days you could easily be forgiven for thinking that everyone besides yourself owns a tablet PC, as whenever you go in a coffee shop that has a wi-fi connection, often every customer other than you seems to be using them!

One of the key reasons for this is their ease of use with regards to the Internet and multimedia, be it simply for reading and sending e-mails or checking out your friends latest photos on facebook. Whilst many Smartphone’s offer similar services, the screens even on large Smartphone’s are too small to be used as a full sized keyboard, and they do not give an ideal experience when it comes to viewing pictures and movies.

Also top of the range tablets also offer spreadsheet and word processing programmes.

So whilst they are the hot trend for social use, why should you use one for business?

Well firstly in general they are a lot more rugged than a laptop, they have no keyboard and as such can take being splashed with a drink or two. They tend to have few moving parts with some models only using flash memory, so there is no hard drive to be damaged in the event of a “Bump”. You can even buy fully rugged tablet computers that can be hand held or vehicle mounted.

For field operatives they offer GPS so they can be used to log real time and location data making them ideal for taking meter readings or logging other consumer data.

They also offer email with the ability to convert the touch screen in to a near full size keyboard. When used with a 3G card they also offer the ability to be used for video conferencing. The high quality cameras on most tablets also mean that they can be used for taking photos at a customer’s premises. A good example of this would be their use by insurance assessors who can now use a tablet computer to take photos of damage, write a report and then email them back to head office.

So all of the features that make tablet PC’s great for personal use also make them very effective business machines.

And if you think that equipping your workforce with ipads maybe expensive then there are many other cheaper brands of tablet on the market for a fraction of the cost. Just note that a fully rugged machine will cost more but can provide the ultimate computer for field operative use.

These days the majority of laptop, desktop PC’s, tablet computers and smart phones all feature the ability to connect wirelessly over what is known as “Wifi”. Indeed this wireless form of computing is now so popular that around 800 million Wifi enabled devices are sold annually. In addition there are now around 4 million public access Wifi “Hotspots” where you can use a computer or smart phone to log on to the Internet wirelessly, often for free as long as you are buying a drink or eating there (Most hotspots tend to be in bars, coffee shops, hotels or public places such as airports).

Yet whilst many people use a wireless hotspot at some point in a month, the most common place to use a wireless network is at home.

Setting up a secure wireless network at home is now very easy, as all that is required is a modem and a wireless router to create the network. The modem can be a cable modem, or one designed to work with a normal telephone line depending on your local service provider e.g. not everyone has access to cable broadband.

To set up the wireless network the input from your Internet Service Provider (ISP) goes in to your modem and the output from the modem goes in to the wireless router.

To setup a secure network you then need to connect your computer with a cable to the wireless router, just the once, to initially setup the secure wireless network connection. After the initial setup the cable can then be removed and you will be able to use any computer or Wifi enabled smart phone wirelessly with the router without the need to connect with a cable.

The range of the wireless network will vary but should easily cover most households even if you have a lot of solid walls. Indeed the majority of wireless routers will give a strong enough signal to enable you to work outside in your garden.

It is essential that you set up a secure wireless network, as if not other people could download dubious content, which in the event of this being of a serious nature then you could find yourself having to justify that it was not you that downloaded the content. This can be a serious matter so always secure your network.

Most wireless routers are now supplied with idiot proof installation instructions enabling someone with next to no technical knowledge to easily install them.

When it comes to portable computing many of us are used to using laptops for work or at home, however they can be very heavy and bulky with the cheaper ones featuring older battery technology meaning that they are not only very heavy, but also do not have a great battery life.

Indeed you could argue a laptop weighing two kilos or more is hardly portable, add in the weight of a laptop bag and a few extras and you can be carrying four or five kilos.

However the latest tablet computers are designed to be light in weight and feature the latest battery technology to offer good battery life as well as keeping the overall weight to a minimum. The latest batteries also offer charging times of around one hour, unlike a laptop, which can take 4-8 hours.

So if you do need computing power “On the move” then why not look at tablet computers instead of laptops? If you are just using your laptop for sending emails and using the Internet then you would be far better off buying one of the new ranges of tablet computers.

They feature large High Definition touch screen displays, which are ideally suited to browsing the Internet. They also come with a wide range of multi-media features making them ideal for watching movies on, which also makes them ideal for using on the train if you commute to work.

When it comes to using them to send emails then the touch screen display can act as a near full size QWERTY keyboard, so you need no separate keyboard.

All of the latest tablet computers all feature Wi-Fi connectivity as a minimum, making them easy to use in any Wi-Fi hotspot. In addition the majority of them can now take a 3G mobile phone card, enabling them to have Internet connectivity allowing you to connect to the Internet without the need to be in a Wi-Fi hotspot.

It is also possible to get tablet computers that can pair with a mobile phone wirelessly, so that the mobile phone acts as its own Wi-Fi hotspot enabling the tablet connect to the Internet anywhere, which is way beyond the functionality a laptop can offer.

Tablet computers being media rich in features are also ideally suited for showing clients sales presentations. In addition you can also get “Light” versions of popular applications such as word, excel and power point to run on them.
