Way back in the 70's-80's when computers were just getting popular, if you needed a solution to use at work you shopped around for software first and then bought whatever hardware it ran on. Computers were useless without the right software.

Nowadays you can buy a Windows PC and be pretty much guaranteed that whatever you need to do there will be a software package available for it. People are used to this and are trying to apply this to tablets, which won't work.

Tablets are like computers from the 70's-80's. They are capable of doing a lot of useful things, but the software isn't all there yet. You can't go out and buy tablets for your work and then expect to find something to use them for. You need to see if your workflow would benefit from a tablet, and if it does then you need to see if there's software available for it. Or you can do what larger companies are doing and develop your own software.
