For example, companies that supply equipment, often need to send a specialist to the installation place to inspect the equipment and solve the problem. Working with a netbook in such cases - is uncomfortable, but with the iPad you can even work standing on top of boiler or diesel generator. And the world's best application for such field support services is ServiceMax. It's one of the favorite SaaS-apps of Mark Benioff, Salesforce CEO.
