Writing reports in the field - Laptop or PDA?
Some folks love the PDA solution, There is no denying its convenience and with our Horizon report writing software, it is fast and easy to use.Â
 However, it looks to us like compact laptops are taking over the market, and are priced as competitively as PDAs. There seems to be more research and development and considerably more product choice in the netbook (compact laptops) space than PDAs.The full Windows operating system, more power and storage, and convenience of a full keypad appeal to many.
Â
The laptop version of Horizon has an abundance of convenient features including
·        Fast syncs
·        Flexible zoom and font size setups
·        Data entry screens that are very similar to the web screens
·        Quick data entry and editing through Quick View/Edit
·        A wonderful photo management system
·        The ability to create a PDF preview quickly
·        A better looking report output than the PDA
·        A much nicer work order interface than the PDA
Â
Looking to the future, our efforts are going to focus on development of the laptop version, becauuse that’s where we see the world going.
 There are no wrong choices, as long as you have all the information you need to make the right decision for your business.
