The document discusses how tablets like the iPad are revolutionizing professional sports by allowing teams to access materials from anywhere, sharing information more easily for collaboration, and providing up-to-date data on opponents. It also outlines how tablets provide increased flexibility, mobility, and opportunities for real-time response compared to traditional computers. Examples are given of how the Tampa Bay Buccaneers now use iPads to access game plans and materials rather than hauling around paper binders.
