Ipad Vs. Laptop

does it show a map of all your current clients with a GDB/ROP policy at least a year old? or all current leads with a certian priority 1-5? If so, i've been wasting alot of time!! lol...

Actually, my crm/map/app will work with iOS or Droid....i'm just getting to the point of wanting to go paperless and getting rid of this huge hideous quotebook....and this new Jellybean OS update on android is just so slick...that Galaxy Note 2 just makes my iphone look stupid...

I hate to get rid of the ipad, but I know I'd never ever use it again after the GN2....

I'm envisioning walking into the house with their lead card in my hand, and the phablet in my pocket. Do the entire presentation on the phone, sign the apps, do the POS call...and on the way out to the car to get some leave-behinds, hit 'send' to email the app to my IMO. Done and Done, with no big workbooks, handouts, rate sheets, and esp scanning/faxing the paper apps.
In that perfect world, keeping up with both a phone and tablet would just spoil everything! haha

For my Map App example:

I have several querries to display folks based on Lead Priority, Service Work, Current Policies etc.

When they're on the map, I can tap the red pushpin and get all their info and any notes I have. When I see someone I want to go see, I just add them to the Route. Really helps me clarify my priorities, and doing it with one hand is amazing. I can't wait to do everything with a phone/tablet, it's the paper that is my major issue. But then again, I do come from an IT background:

iPad mini all the way. Soooo nice to take it into my home appts

I would already have one of those...if I could make a phone call from it. Yes. I would actually use the ipad mini as a phone. I'd rather look odd than carry two devices.

Galaxy Note 2 is knocking my brain like a punching bag......or is it "Official Red Ryder Carbine-Action Two-Hundred-Shot Range Model Air Rifle!" syndrome kicking in...

....I feel like an 8 yr (Ralphie) old in 1950's christmas. (Christmas Story)

And the way you post makes it impossible to follow. Please try to do this like an adult, not an 8 yr. old in a 1950's christmas (christmas WHAT?????)

:err:
not sure what you mean? Oh... "Christmas *Story*" ...is that what you mean?

A Christmas Story (1983) - Memorable quotes

and prior post edited for those unfamiliar with an instant classic from 1983 that some TV stations play 24/7 during christmas, credit to credit to credit.

(and to be correct...it was a "Triple Dog Dare" which resulted in the above)

I have two laptops and was given an Ipad by my family for my birthday. It's battery life, portability, and versatility are great. I can face time, send messages, surf the net, and it is very unobtrusive. However, for some business uses I can see its drawbacks. My questions are what kind of case if any do you use or recommend. I currently have an Otterbix on my iPhone. Are there any other apps besides those already named that you recommend?

At a meeting last weekend I won the drawing for an iPad Mini. My wife immediately claimed it.

always gotta be careful about that!!

So far, I'm really enjoying my Galaxy Note 2. I don't miss my iPad(1) at all.

have you done a full app on it?

While I was out with a couple of other agents today I glanced at my blackberry...one guy who isnt tech savvy asked me why I didnt have a smart phone...truer words... :yes:

The Note seems like a good option, but I wasnt sure if it would be all I needed..including writing the app.

If you have the 4g version of the ipad mini you can make calls. There are a ton of apps that make calls through wifi and I think some will work through your 3g/4g network. If not you can jailbreak the mini and there are apps that will trick your ipad into thinking its on the wifi.
 
This thread is a little dormant but I do have a question. Would I lose anything if I chose the ipad mini over the ipad 3?
