One of the greatest tech debates of this decade is Apple Vs. Google. For the most part, users are largely separated by mobile opinion - you see near constant debate over which is the better system (iOS or Android). This is funny, considering that many Apple users actually rely on Google apps like Search and Gmail. Google knows this and has been pushing new, previously Android only, services to iPhone and iPad users. The latest service introduced for Apple devices is Google Now. Do you know what it is?

Tablets, like their smaller smartphone cousins, are a hotly debated tech item. Some people love them while others refuse to use them. One thing that's certain is that they can be useful, if used correctly. The tablet of choice for many business owners is the iPad, largely because it's easy to use, and it can help improve productivity. One area where productivity isn't generally improved is typing, but luckily there is way around this.
The most popular tablet, for now, is Apple's iPad. It's hard to go somewhere and not see someone carrying one around these days. One of the reasons for it's continued success is that some models can connect to data networks, providing users with Internet access pretty much anywhere. A problem with this is that not all wireless providers offer the same level of coverage. So, how do you tell if your local area is covered? Or if there will be coverage when you travel?
One of the more popular reasons users pick Apple's iPad is because of the apps available. There are numerous high quality apps that business oriented users can use to help increase their productivity, or make their roles more efficient. One of the major weaknesses of the tablet, however, is typing. The touch keyboard isn't ideal for typing longer messages or documents. Luckily, there are apps that make up for this downside.
The cloud has been an instrumental driver of the success of modern tablets. When it comes to tablets using the iOS (iPad and iPad mini), the cloud is often used to integrate files across devices, as often more than one service is utilized. This means that if you use the cloud, you likely have more than one app and likely struggle to manage or share files across different services. A new app makes managing all your different cloud storage services far easier.
Tablets are gaining traction in businesses, many are starting to integrate them in some function. One of the more popular tablets is Apple's iPad. One of the reasons people love it so much is largely because of the sheer amount of apps. Some of these help users increase their productivity, something that many businesses can benefit from.
Thinking of buying the new iPad? The one released only six months ago? Well Apple has decided to answer that question for you. On October 23, Apple introduced not one but two new iPads. The first is the iPad 4 - an upgraded version of the iPad 3 - and the second is the iPad mini. How do these new iPads stack up? And, should you buy one?
As mobile devices like the iPad continue to make inroads in companies, more business functions will be assigned to it and companies will be tempted to adopt more of these devices for use in day-to-day operations. While the iPad is a sturdy machine, it’s just that, a machine, and machines need to be taken care of properly if they’re to last.
When Apple released the original iPad a little over two years ago, they revolutionized the tablet and set a high benchmark that no other manufacturer has been able to meet since. Two years on, and a new tablet has been released by Google that according to many reviews, challenges iPad superiority. This has many small business managers wondering which tablet is better for their business.
