Tablet devices can be used for a variety of retail purposes. Sales associates can use them to help answer customer questions or check inventory, while companies could also set them up as demo stations. In 2012, a greater number of retailers are expected to make use of these devices to better serve customers, according to new data from RISNews.<\/p>\n
