Redskins are one of the teams using IPads for playbooks

The convenience factor is definitely high for the players, outside of that I'm not sure how this impacts anything on the field really. Cool nonetheless.

I wonder if coaches will be able to pull up stats on how much it was used. Like if a RB keeps missing protections will they go to him with the number of times he looked at the playbook. As for hacking, maybe they don't put the gameplan on there but a hacker could easily find the patterns of what the qb or RB is looking at in the days leadiing up to the game.

Sure.

Paper playbooks could be "hacked," too, by thieves. The difference to me is that there is no way to remotely wipe a paper playbook clean. So while there is the possibility of information theft with the tablets, they appear to be much safer, whether the game plan is included or not.

Maybe they wouldn't connect any of these Ipads to the internet...

That would kinda defeat the point of having them.

Oh sorry, I thought it was just because it was more convenient, and "interactive". In fact I still don't understand why the internet aspect is a real plus...

It's so they can download film and any other updates.

Plus they can use the calendar for meetings, etc.

can't they have a smartphone for that, and the Ipad just for the playbook ˆˆ because I think if the Anonymous want it they can easily hack a internet connected Ipaded playbook

Smartphones can be hacked, too.

I'm sure they have the security angle covered.
