Windows Tablets For Fieldwork

That's going to be a major pita lol vs inspection focused app.

The entire new format is going to be a pita. Old form was bad enough with lenders and AMCs "still interpreting" things differently. My imagination is running wild thinking about all of that in this new format

That is a sure prescription for insanity. I very much doubt that all the hand-wringing and drama throughout the appraisal community are warranted. Nor can I see any need for immediacy...let others fight the bugs and breakdowns. Go fishing in the meantime.

Go fishing in the meantime.

Or hunting...

Agreed

Wound't that just be the existing desktop or web apps?

How could that be. Seems like just about every software provider is creating a stand alone UAD 3.6. How could I use an existing app for the current UAD for 3.6

No additional app, but tech is stating that I should be able to use the device in a familiar way to how I am now and be able to form fill the fields on an inspection.

I use my complete software package on my windows tablet. But it is machine based. Seems like most of the 3.6 software is going to be cloud based

Cloud based is another issue as my geography takes me to places with any kind of stable internet connection.

Same here at times. Same problem with the app based electronic key boxes. A number of rural agents still use combo boxes for that reason

Are Windows tablets still a thing after Microsofts Surface disaster?

Those Yoga folding laptops seemed to be the only viable choice, but they are kind of heavy.

Will UAD 3.6 run better on a Windows, Android or iPad tablet?

According to sales, you need iPad and windows. Not sure I have seen anything about android. I am not yet convinced.

The only things I like about iPad are 1) photo quality, 2) LIDAR, and 3) find me anywhere feature if lost or stolen.

The old one I had tried in the past however did NOT have a wide angle lens, a full QWERTY keyboard on screen, nor did it revert to a keypad when a number only entry was required.

I am sure that they have added extra cameras by now. How about the interface?
