Salarymen stick with laptops over iPads
Recently a lot of companies in Japan are starting to offer iPads to its employees for their business activities. But some...no, a large number of them think it useless than laptops after beggining iPad use.Why? I'll explain the reasons.
1)iPads aren't suited to inputting
iPad's input system is not efficient for Japanese. Sometimes we have to make documents by writing vertically. In iPad, it is impossible. And as you know, the iPad inputting style is a touch panel , so you have to keep raising your fingers up, unlike the laptop where it is easier to input information because you can put your hand on the keyboard whhether you input something or not.
2)We can't use Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Words without compatible software.
Almost all Japanese businessmen use them all the time in business situation but we can't use them on iPads. To make up for it, we have to buy compatible software. It is costly and what is worse, the compatibility is not high. So for people who need them most of the time, iPads is useless.
3)We Japanese have small and useful lap tops already.
In Japan, there are a lot of kinds of lap tops, that weigh less than 2 kg, and the features are excellent. iPad weighs around 600g, which is much lighter than these, but lightness is no match for efficiency.
Due to these reasons it isn't the time to exchange our business tool with the new gadgets at this moment. It will end up decreasing the efficiency.
