    "We have always felt that a technology solution applied to the construction industry must be mobile, and tailored to fit the end users' needs. Combine a builder friendly ASP with a full screen mobile device with wireless Internet access, and you ought to have the winning combination. Has anyone had success in deploying such bundled packages to builders, and if so, is the adoption of such technology in the UK been promising for technology providers? With respect to Tablet PC's, two issues have come up for us, one being the difficulty to see the screen outdoors (Fujitsu states they will have an "outdoor screen" in May), and sporadic wireless coverage (may be great in the city, but poor where the actual construction site is). Your thoughts on this topic are appreciated"
