Ricoh Tuesday announced a tablet - like device capable of operating as an e-reader and digital Clipboard for companies to write electronic capture and save documents.

The shelf is designed to function as a secure and thin client that can automate document management services, business said Ron Barr, Vice President of marketing at Ricoh.
Tablets such as the iPad attract increasing interest in companies for applications such as data entry and telephony. But tablets are built more for consumers and enterprise document management, said Barr.
"Unlike the consumption of media tablets cropping across managed user, our Tablet is managed IT,"Barr said.""
The eQuill can replace about 80 percent of the paper the company workflow processes, said Barr.
"It is critical for health care, records management, mobile and other business applications... where the regulatory compliance and security mandates require closed, not open, data management solutions," said Barr.
Forms can be filled out directly on the device, and a number of security measures have been implemented to ensure that the documents are securely captured and transferred. Documents can be verified by signatures based on the speed, direction and pressure monitoring. Audit technique allows tamper signatures that are more reliable than the signs of pen and paper, the company said.
Documents can be routed to systems of workflow wireless 3 G or Wi - Fi connections. The Tablet is running a version of Linux, and its support for the advanced scripting language allows developers to write custom forms that can be accessed through a web browser interface.
The eQuill is priced from US $ 500 and will begin shipping in the United States in the coming months, the company said. Ricoh did not immediately comment on availability around the world.
