Seth, Columbia is presently evaluating several different brands of PC tablets. There has been limited success in downloading our survey program on an IPAD. Also the proficiency of the users varies greatly depending on the individuals computer skills. They were being looked at as an ALARA tool to reduce HP Technician dose when performing routine surveys. The ALARA benefit is questionable due to workers completing the survey in the field versus a low dose office area. I'll keep you informed of our final decision after the evaluation is completed.
