Create documents using Apple's tablet - Microsoft announces Office for iPad - Internet Zone

New CEO of Microsoft, Satya Nadella, president of the company debut as the introduction of a package Office for iPad . After months of rumors, the software company made the official presentation of the Office applications available from today in the App Store today. In this way, users can work with the Apple tablet with programs such as Word, PowerPoint and Excel , but you will have to have a subscription to Office 365 to be able to edit the documents.

Tool Kit Office returns to the ecosystem of Apple software. Just a few years ago, Steve Jobs negotiated with Redmond office suite available for the Mac personal computers, so now announced Office for the iPad, a few months after I came to the iPhone.

Especially for iOS

Microsoft has put a particular emphasis to the Office on the iPad was not a simple (and thus ill-fitting) adapted for iOS, but specifically designed for the Platform native application. This, moreover, boasts Apple – the application takes very strictly, so as I have a mother, works perfectly. With this gain access to Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, as well as well-known tools for the PC version, but comfortable level using the iPad. In contrast to the version on the iPhone, this time the suite this time to offer a much broader set of features and better optimization of the touch interface, which, with much larger sizes is not surprising. You could say that the Office application on the iPhone is actually a mini version, while the one on the iPad much easier to create and edit documents.

fully FUNCTIONAL

Now you can add tables, notes, pictures and SmartArt graphics. Office for iPad also supports mathematical formulas, graphs and resize photos attached to the document. Another advantage is the possibility of moving objects without a mouse, so that the text will automatically adjust itself to the final position of the image. The user can even dispense with the keyboard, and the text … dictate using voice assistant. Another advantage is the ability to save your work in the cloud OneDrive (formerly SkyDrive).

Download the app

Office on iPad can be downloaded from the App Store. There is no need to buy the application – Installation is free. The device must be updated to iOS 7 or higher. However, the free version can only view documents, but if they want to be able to modify them and create, you need to sign up for Office 365, which will cost you a monthly access 20 PLN. A bit pricey … But if you are a professional and you are using the program to work, it is.

Microsoft Office for iPad from Apple officially unveiled - PC World

Microsoft is expected today announced its Office suite version dedicated tabletom. Interestingly, there is an application for Windows 8.1 and Windows RT. Touch MS Office came first on Apple’s iPad, which now complements the older version of the application prepared in view of iPhones.

itemprop=”articleBody description text” id=”tresc”> long time speculated about this, when Microsoft decides to release a touch version of its Office on iPads and reports of the company’s readiness to release this application confirmed. Office consisting of mobile editions of Word, Excel and PowerPoint files already appeared in store applications App Store. The application itself Office for iPad is free and allows you to view documents, spreadsheets and presentations. Unfortunately, in order to edit Office files you will need to purchase a subscription to Office 365, which allows the use of Microsoft office applications on computers and mobile devices.

A notable throughout the case is the fact that Microsoft has released the first mobile application for its flagship office product equipment competition. Only then the Redmond giant will take care of clients, who decided in August to buy the device with Windows. It is true that Windows 8.1 allows you to run Office on the tablet, but it is still a version developed for the desktop. Still there is no application version for tiles, which would be written from the beginning in order to Modern UI interface.

With names smartphone, iPhone, iPod, iPad, Tablet, Skype - Breakthrough

Polszczyzna easy. Maciej Malinowski is a master of Polish orthography (Katowice “Dictation”), the author of the books “(…) boby was better”, “Alien Polish language” and “What’s with the Polish language”

English word smartphone (it device that is a combination of mobile phone and miniature computer), although it ends on an unspoken [dim. smartphone], could be easily spolszczyć graphically (for a smartphone), and thus were in a group of other masculine nouns of the end-fon (eg, telephone, intercom, voice recorder).

However, in contrast to second case singular. question arises whether or not to speak and write your smartphone or smartphone, as you know, telephone, intercom, voice recorder have forms with-u: telephone, intercom, voice recorder).

In the Polish language dictionaries, spelling correct Polish and not find more answers to this question and so far should be considered as acceptable forms of both. More often, we hear first – a smartphone (eg do not have a smartphone), which spreads by analogy to variations iPhone, iPhone `s (This form gives the Great OWN spelling dictionary, edited by Edward Polanski, Warsaw 2012, p 312).

In an expression of the iPhone is for a different problem. As a generic name can not be graphically spolszczyć (for IFON) and therefore we have to stick with the original chromatography. Since the final form of the iPhone that remains silent in the pronunciation [ajfon], necessarily inflected forms must appear apostrophe: DB iPhone `a, C. iPhones these, N. iPhone` em, which reads [ajfona], [ajfonowi] [ajfonem].
Extremely apostrophe disappears in the locative, since before the ending-e comes to soften the thematic consonants n (s saved appears as ni-): write iPhone [dim. ajfonie], not iPhone or iPhon `e` e.

somewhat easier it is to writing names iPod (player mulitimedialny `) and iPad (tablet` `). Since the end they pronounced consonant d, with no apostrophe can be no question. He writes to DB iPod, iPad, C. your iPod, iPadowi; N. iPod, iPad.
Only in locative hard d becomes soft dź (written as a wild-), so we have forms iPod, iPad.

Recently, we use a general expression of the tablet (i.e. the plate of the screen and from 7 to 10 inches, which acts as a computer). Again, however, there is the difficulty of how to tell whether write, tablet or tablet? Great spelling dictionary PWN (p. 927) shall form the tablet, although many people say tablet (eg I have a problem with buying a tablet, His tablet would not trade for any other). It seems that in this situation should be treated as equivalent to both forms of case II (tablet and tablet).
At the end slightly wider called Skype. It is a messaging service that conquered the world, using peer to peer technology (ie, partner to partner, abbreviated P2P), which allows users to make free calls and simultaneous observation via cameras. Skype `and you can too – as you know – call landlines and mobiles and send SMS messages.

Have him from a dozen years ago, two developers: Swede Niklas Zennstrom and Janus Friis, a Dane, and the same applic ation written Estonians from Tallinn (or Tallinn).

At first, the name of a novel way of communicating and viewing on the Internet sounded Sky-Peer-to-Peer, then shortened it to Skyper, until finally it was decided that it would be Skype.
Using the written word Skype, keep in mind that it ends up – like the iPhone – the so-called. e mute (niewymawiane). We write Skype, but pronounced [skajp], because when such name-changing for cases in forms complement to the instrumental must appear apostrophe M. Skype, Skype D. `a, C. Skype` these, B. Skype a Skype `and N. Skype` em. Only in locative apostrophe disappears, because before tip-E comes to soften the thematic consonants p (p `appears written as pi-). This makes the save as to pronounce, or Skype [skajpie] (not Skype `e).
Perhaps graphical form miejscownikowa Skype name – no apostrophe – makes it sometimes forms seen other cases of devoid of that character, or Skype, Skypowi, Skype. They are wrong, suggest that they were created from 230; words Skyp (not Skype).

Sale of iPad for the first time falls below based on Android OS - Internet Zone

For several years, the mobile operating system by Google is the leader in smartphone sales statistics, but it is not surprising – after using it most of the brands, and iOS is a “privilege” of Apple. However, the situation was quite odwotnie for tablets – Android of years does not give advice to future generations the industry’s first iPad. This, however, was finally defeated.

For the first time Android tablets achieved sales in excess based on iOS, and despite a super extensive catalog, with various brands, ranges of, prices, specifications, etc., so far it seemed impossible to achieve. And so, in turn, most sales raking in first iPad (then Andoid was still completely misfit), then the iPad 2, new iPad, iPad mini … Until finally, under the leadership of Tim Cook, the iPad Air and iPad Mini with Retina retina lagged behind the army of Android, which in this sector strengthened with 45.8 percent of total sales in 2012, to 61.9 in the past.

android-ios-tablets

success of Android or Apple win

According to data collected in the above table, Android has achieved in the past year, 61.9 percent of the total Tablet sales, while iOS remained only 36 percent . Although we have the impression that it is the “fault” of Apple, let us note, however, that the market appears more and more devices based on Google software, which are becoming more and more competitive, both in terms of hardware and price. Huge thanks to the producers – look below.

Again, this Samsung …

biggest enemy of Apple, the leader in smartphones, Samsung, from years of building its potential. Despite the disappointment of a partial release of the Galaxy S5, is on par with Apple’s guideline trends, although it is rather Koreans “borrow” ideas from the Americans, and not vice versa. in smartphones. As for the tablet, the more and better with the help of the Android software, provides all the solutions that people “PC era” is missing in the tablet, and others, like microSD or solution line Note.

Is Google needs Samsung

Although it is difficult to give an objective answer, because both need Samsung Android and Samsung is currently not walked by without Android. Although arise more and more interesting alternatives , these, however, are still under development. We are therefore faced with the leader of software and intelligent leader of mobile devices. On the other hand, Samsung introduces interesting solutions and promotes software. For its part, Android shows that it can do even without the strongest brand – Nexuses passed to the LG, and without a GUI – Google Play Edition devices are bought by those who personalize manufacturers ‘pregnancy’. Also, despite the fact that Samsung takes the first place among m anufacturers, changes in other items are impomujące – Huawei in third place after Apple, the sale of Motorola, killing a Lenovo, China’s growing power …

Despite this, however, the “symbiosis” between Samsung and Google remains intact, in the common interest. When I thought that things between companies are not going too well, as evidenced by the development of Tizen OS as an alternative, that in the end the same South Korean manufacturer has made it clear he did not believe that his Tizen was enough ” strong “to compete with Android and Apple. However, the plan has not been suspended, only changed the position of the “Plan A” to “Plan B” – Samsung wants to test the reaction of consumers in markets where the presence of the devices of the Cupertino company is not as strong.

Android interface still needs fixes

Despite this, users and developers repeatedly expressed their displeasure on the Android GUI. This continues to be a creation of unsuitable and non-optimized for tablets. And although they do not cease to be similar to smartphones, their role is different from the bare, we do not only have a larger screen, but the device that will be able to replace our laptop. And here we return to the issue of Samsung – has created adequate for this size personalization, Magazine UI , which came with the latest tablets brand, in return for which Google instead take a good example – accused Foch, that’s very similar to Windows …

iPhone and iPad lost to Samsung in the Polish Internet - dobreprogramy

more often use their mobile devices to browse the Internet. This trend is noticeable all over the world and certainly the number of people serfujących the network using a tablet or phone will grow. Hardly anyone realizes, however, how much has changed over the past few years, the percentage of individual equipment manufacturers in the Polish Internet.

According to the analysis of data collected by Gemius, the undisputed winner in among mobile devices that generate traffic on the internet, even in May 2010 was Nokia (blue) with a score of 39%. From that moment it was only worse. Already at the beginning of 2011 its share fell below 30%.

Another half a year was not kind to the Finnish company. In June, Apple (gray) overtook its competitor by an increasing share of iPads in generating traffic. The year 2011 was also not optimistic for Sony Ericcson – its share by 12 months fell from about 17 percent to twelve. Small victory but suffered Samsung (green), which by the end of the year received more than 20%.

Two thousand twelfth brought us their acquisition by Sony Ericcson (orange). In this way the corporation, which was not even one percent of the shares, gained them more than twelve. In addition, in January 2012 was the month in which Samsung and Nokia have reached the same result – about 21%. We can also see a growing market dominance of Apple’s devices. Finally, at the end of the year, the company under the sign of apples reached as many as 34 percent, just behind her was a Samsung (26%), while Sony and Nokia leveled as a result, to afford the 13 percent. It is also worth mentioning the appearance of trace traffic from devices in our home GoClever (0.2%) and a noticeable popularity device Nexus 7 Asus and Google (1%).

The next year is already race Samsung and Apple devices. Firms each take their own shares. Heavily lose for it to Sony and Nokia. Until the end of 2013 the results fall according to the eleven and ten percent. December is also a month of Apple’s advantage over its main competitor. Despite the loss, the company achieved 2 percent lead over rival that has 29 percent stake.

The market is still unpredictable. Nokia’s share decline is to be expected, but the beginning of the year is a Korean manufacturer sudden triumph over Apple. Last month, he was able to, with a score of 31%, to achieve a two percent advantage. It remains an open question whether to Samsung manages to keep the victory over the leader of California, or whether it will be quite the opposite? So far, however, the Korean company can celebrate the dominance of their devices.
