Hi all,
looking for a business tablet, probably Android as ipad are still extortionate prices.
Wants to be less than 10", possibly 7", less than £200...oh and run ICS.
Essentially this thing will be carried by our site managers and it will have all our H&S files electronically as pdf's. Coupled with some signature capturing software, our site managers can record those who enter the site by typing their names in relevant fields on the pdf file (not a proper form) and have relevant people sign the form which then embeds their signatures.
Other than the main use above, we want to use it for other things, here are some requirements that we'd want (other than the usual wifi etc)
1. USB (possibly full size so can attach pen drives)
2. Rear facing camera. This is required as we will be recording video as we walk around project sites. Hard to do that with front facing camera only.
3. Front facing camera would be useful too for skype etc, but not imperative.
Did think of the Nexus 7 , but ruled it out as it doesn't have a rear facing camera.
So....Samsung Galaxy tab? Others?
Advice appreciated, thanks.
