    Just came across this article which states that a hospital calculated the ROI of an iPad at 9 days. That's not a typo - 9 days to save enough to pay for the iPad. Even if they're off by several hundred percent, it's an incredible investment.

    I wonder where all the people went who were claiming that the iPad was a toy and no one would buy them. Oh, yeah - they've just changed to equally inane newer arguments.

    Thanks for the link.  I could use that at work :)


     


    Of course, it's not at all hard to believe.  Such ROI is easy to come up with.


     


    They used time-motion analysis, so they were basically looking at how long it takes to do things like entering or looking up data.


     


    Saving a few minutes per hour per tablet over 24 hours a day, could easily come to $400+ in "savings" over a week or two.


     


    Of course, so would walking faster.  But it's not as cool sounding :)
