"Instead of telephone-book sized playbooks, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have handed out iPads to each of the team's 90 players. \nPlayers will use the tablet computers to store their playbooks, reference game footage and review videos of opponents, reports  the St. Petersburg Times. \nThere are two major advantages to a digital playbook: The first is that players no longer will need to ask for a DVD to review game footage at home and they can flip through plays instead of fast-forwarding to the right spot in the game. The second is that while printing plays on paper creates a risk that copies will end up in the wrong hands, the content on a lost iPad can be deleted with the press of a button.\nCoach Raheem Morris told the St. Petersburg Times that it took about two minutes to convince Bucs co-chairman Bryan Glazer to spend $500 to $600 for each iPad.\nThe Bucs are not the first group of professionals to trade paper tomes for lightweight iPads. Several airlines have announced intentions to equip their pilots with iPads instead of paper operating manuals, navigation charts, reference handbooks, flight checklists, logbooks and weather information.\nSchools and businesses are also increasingly finding ways to replace papers with iPads. This might be the first time, however, that an iPad will be put to use in a work environment that regularly involves rain, sweat and flying Gatorade.\nPhoto courtesy of Flickr, dcsproduction"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
