It appears Apple is preparing to train employees at its retail stores to use the iPad as part of their job and interaction with customers. Stockpiles of new iPad 2’s have been arriving at some Apple stores and staff may start training as early as this weekend.
This new policy for on-the-job use of iPads may also replace the current iPod touch-based EasyPay terminal that customers can use for checkout. The size of the iPad could better display data, product features and make transactions easier to complete.
Apple also seems poised to release an iPad version of its RetailMe program which gives information about products and training videos for retail employees.
The iPad has become a useful tool for some businesses, streamlining daily tasks and more providing more customer interaction. Apple seems to be putting its very own golden boy to good use at home.
AppleInsider recently reported:
Changes at Apple’s retail stores set to begin this weekend will be “procedural” in nature, suggesting they will be related to the way the shops run or operate, rather than new products customers could buy. This would align with the distribution of iPads and new RetailMe software to Apple specialists.
