Many home and building inspectors are converting their paper forms to computerised forms. However, most inspectors still want to be able to hand-write notes on these forms. Rugged Tablet PC’s allow them to do both. Rugged Tablet PC’s are different from conventional tablet PC’s in that they have daylight viewable displays, are protected against drops and are fully sealed against the outside elements. For simpler data collection activities hand held computers offer a compact, pocket size solution with great functionality.
