The Tablet PC is a computer that is similar to a laptop in some ways, but is dramatically different in other very important ways. First, the tablet PC is pen-enabled. This means you can write on the screen. For example, you can fill out and collect valid e-signatures on listing agreements, purchase offers and other real estate forms just like you would using a pen and paper. Second, almost all tablet PCs are wireless enabled. This means that you can get your email, surf the Web or access the MLS from anywhere - even a client's living room - without having to use a normal wired Internet connection. It's like a desktop, laptop, PDA and pad and paper combined in one device. The tablet gives you the power to create truly amazing emails and respond immediately. Click Here
