Many real estate professionals are excited about the Wednesday release of the Apple Tablet, an all-in-one, touchscreen computer to be priced between $500 and $1,000.Experts say the device will be thin and more easily transported than traditional laptops, and it could help practitioners go paperless by allowing them to access contracts and let clients digitally sign them while in the field.
The Apple Tablet also reportedly has a short learning curve.
Still, experts point out that practitioners could encounter some obstacles in that numerous agent Web site vendors and multiple listing service systems are not compatible with Apple’s Safari Web browser.
