iPads for hospitals: is this a good idea?

SavM
WTF?

hmmm

What a lot of people may not know if that dell where working with a hospital on a slipstreamed windows based touchscreen that had 16+ hours battery life, full wifi with direct access to hospital records, with multiple logons and workflows similar to crm. that was 2 1/2 years ago, it was in trial stages at that point dont know what happened since then. but as for ipad's, please it's like saying i only swim clean water then diving into raw sewage. i do have an iphone as yes it's a good enough device for what i use it for, outside my iphone usefulness i'll grab my laptop or mac depending on what i'm doing.

The phrase is "fit for purpose", in this instance the ipad doesn't live upto it however as a pretty mantle peice orniment that makes visitors go ooooo and aaaahhh maybe (anyone with any sense is likely to say "nice digital photo frame, wheres your real web access. you know the one you can use flash with?") , but not in a hospital!
