Any mobile detailers use a Tablet/iPad?

It was rather expensive and I didn't get it bc I couldn't justify buying just detailing part time. I could see where it would look very professional for a full timer.

Dude! I am highly interested in this if you can find what the software is called!

I don't care for the iPad. It is too big! I hate lugging it around. I gave mine to my brother. I use my iPhone which fits into my pocket, sends and receives email, fits in my pocket, takes credit cards, emails receipts (for cash, check, or CC), takes pictures, takes video, fits into my pocket, has GPS, etc... oh did I mention it fits into my pocket? Rumor has it you can use it to make phone calls too!

The only reason an Ipad will not fit in Joe's pocket is because they are stuffed with cash!

I love my iPad. I use it to get customer's signatures on releases, I use it to accept credit cards for payment, and I use it to show off my work when I am in the process of helping a customer decide what service they are looking for. It is a great tool, that I wouldn't want to be withtout.
