That is the crazy part, it is actually cheaper to hand out iPads to contractors and designers, than to up date and reprint architech plans (on paper). Not to give up the magic, but if an iPad gets lost or broken, it is still cheaper to replace than print the plans (I hope no contractors are reading this - DO NOT LOSE YOUR iPad).

not really. X86 linux desktops, windows OSes have more functional apps than android. I wish desktop linux get the same recognition as android, since a lot of work is being done in X86 and doesn't get as much respect as the android counterparts.
