Tablet PCs – Spread the Word !

As part of my day job, I sell Market Research Services to Pharmaceutical Companies.

Yesterday we were at a client for a services presentation (which went well, thanks for asking), although one of my contacts asked me to have a chat to one of their product managers following the presentation to demonstrate Tablet PCs (I’ve got the Motion LE1600). The company are in the process of trialling them with a few of their sales force. The trials are being done with a Fujitsu and the TC1100, and they hadn’t seen a slate.

Of course, my colleagues are now giving me grief about selling computers rather than market research. But I can live with this, as it’s been blogged about time after time – the ability for people to get their hands on a Tablet PC is few and far between, especially in the UK. Various people have said it’s hard enough in the US !

Moral of the story – for anyone out there with a tablet – sell the idea as much as you can. For those without a tablet – find someone who has one, and ask for a play (but don’t blame me if you get hooked)
