2.    Car Navigation System

I’ve used a number of GPS system for the past few years and most of the time, I’m quite disappointed with the accuracy of the navigation system. New roads being built every year and some of the data are not relevant anymore. I love google map and I used it as my main navigation system in the car. Just a get a cheapo android tablet with 7 inch screen, a mount for the tablet and you get yourself a reliable Car Navigation System!

3.    Car Entertainment System

A lot of people looking for ways to integrate their android or iOS devices into their car for different purposes but most just want to use it for entertainment system. With such demands, in-car entertainment system manufacturers are taking this opportunity to produce android-based or iOS-based car entertainment system and some are already out in the market. You can now play your favorite games such as candy crush and clash of clans in your car while driving! How cool is that?!

4.    Digital Picture Frame

If you have old android tablet which are not in use, why not turn it into a digital picture frame. There are a number of apps which turn your android device to a digital picture frame. Some of more advanced app lets you connect to your favourite your social media site such facebook, flickr even instagram and display your picture which you have uploaded. Be careful though, you might increase your electricity bills!

Businesses

5.    Restaurant Ordering System for Waiters

Businesses are looking for more ways to serve their customer faster and better. There are a number of apps which are built for waiter/waitress to take order from the customer and send the order straight away to the kitchen without them having to walk to the kitchen or docket. It really saves time and restaurants might use its waiter/waitress more efficiently.

6.    Point-of-Sales System (POS)

With the rise of tablets popularity in the market, innovative people are coming out with different idea daily. One of it is tablet based Point-of-Sales system. In the US, a lot of restaurants start using iPad as their POS system as it is less bulky and more elegant. Some of the POS apps provide cloud based data storage with analytics and reports built-in. Hey, it also good as a conversation starter!

7.    Information Kiosk

Traditional kiosk is bulky and very expensive. That’s only the hardware parts.  If you need an interactive kiosk, you will need to pay a hefty sum of money to customize it to suit your business and it’s not easy to modify. Using a tablet, you can get a more elegant, less expensive and space saving information with interactivity included. You can make it more fun for people waiting to get their coffee by playing a simple game on the information kiosk.

A variant of the information kiosk is a digital signage. So, businesses can earn more by showing ads of other business in their premise.

8.    Mobile POS System

We talked about POS system earlier. In the above example, the POS system is more suited for businesses that are stationed in one place such as restaurant. What about business that are mobile such as taxi drivers or event pizza delivery? Usually, these people don’t really accept credit card as a payment due to their nature of business which is mobile but now they can with Mobile POS system. So no more excuse for the customer not to pay on the spot!
