Many hospitals are seriously thinking about replacing some of their expensive Computer on Wheels (COWs, but they don't say "moo") with the Apple iPad. Given that you can open a web browser on the iPad and use virtualization solutions to access enterprise systems, the iPad may be a great cost-effective way to get more computers on the floor of a hospital.
The Apple iPad certainly has a distinct advantage over smaller slate tablets like the Samsung Galaxy Tab for this type of application because a 10" screen is large enough for this type of application.
Are the days of the traditional COWs numbered? Given how quickly slate tablets are evolving, I'd say the answer is "yes."
