Thanks for finding those Consultant. They're all as useless as the graphic that you're trying to defend. Now here's a question for you.
1. How long have you done pharmaceutical advertising and for how many tablets have you designed graphics? How many iPad medical apps did you design this year or last year compared to tablet graphics? What does that tell you about REAL WORLD applications that go beyond referencing a page on the manufacturer's site?
2. You really believe it's fair to compare professional products with consumer products? The iPad is only now beginning to make it's way into more professional avenues. Look for my concept where the camera on the back of the iPad is swapped out for a mini X-Ray camera and I'll show you what an iPad can do as a medical device.
3. My brother is a Cardiologist. His friends are also doctors...how many iPads in all the hospitals where they work? Uhmmm...Zero. How many medical tablets? "You mean per floor or office?"..."There's no way to know that exactly...there's too many."
Do me a favor and post more than Apple's take on a situation. Tell me about real doctors, real world applications and the devices the pharmaceutical reps are using. I'm sure the articles are out there but stop referring to Apple as the definitive voice of reason and the end to an argument.
Just because you hate Apple products doesn't mean it's not useful.
Please keep dreaming of a world without Apple.
Perhaps your PC-heavy-tablet isn't selling due to iPad?
And oh, surely this is not a hospital with real doctors and real world applications:

1 PowerMac G5
1 MacPro
2 15 inch MacBook Pro's
1 iPhone 4th Generation
2 iPods, 2nd and 3rd Generation
2 Apple 20" Cinema Displays
1 iPad 1st Generation
1 Apple Airport Extreme
hmmm...that seems to be a lot of Apple products for a guy that hates Apple products. I don't have a PC Heavy tablet or any android tablets(yet) so I'm not sure what you're referring to. I do have an Asus netbook though.
Has Apple changed the tablet game? Yes.
Are other manufacturers scrambling to play catch up to Apple's iPad? Yes.
Are they failing at it? Yes.
Are doctors using iPads instead of PC tablets? No.
Are pharmaceutical reps using iPads instead of Windows based tablets? Uhm, not that I'm aware of.
Have iPads replaced medical tablets? Maybe in a few years but not yet.
You can respond if you like but now I'm truly bored with this. Enjoy your upcoming week and the rest of your weekend. Thanks.

"to replace paper medical charts." - you should read the articles you send out as proof of your statements. There's nothing in here talking about it replacing the current tablets they use that does much more than the iPad(this is only at the moment) nor does it talk about replacing pharmaceutical rep tablets.
Now this article does and means you are on to something.
Again, just because you don't believe in iPad doesn't mean it's not useful.
Surely no doctors or hospitals use this and other iPad medical apps

They must be updating their iPad app to version 2.2.2 because NO ONE use them.
