A chap from Tesco Car Insurance came round yesterday to investigate the damage to my vehicle after its recent bump.
My wife said that the chap carried a "funky laptop that folded back on itself" and it was running software that allowed him to view a 3D model of the car and expand out the constituent parts (like a furniture assembly diagram) in order to identify the damaged parts, which he marked with a stylus.
The Tablet PC clearly has a place in the portable computing market alongside traditional laptops and PDAs, certainly for data-capture type jobs.
My sister, who works as an Occupational Therapist in the NHS, has also been given a Tablet PC for capturing the results of the assessment interviews she conducts with patients in their homes.
