This tablet hardware to consume content? Joking – someone who just says mentally stuck in the previous decade. Yes – devices such as the iPad are great for browsing the Internet, checking the news or watching movies, but this is only a modest part of their opportunities. In conjunction with various applications tablet hardware becomes countless applications, which is also useful in work and business.

Alan Kay was right – though tablets have been known for a long time, until the iPad made it gained in popularity. Ceased to be a professional hardware or a toy for geeks, and became a normal, electronic gadget, which many of us really makes life easier to serve not only to entertain, but also to more serious applications, such as work and conduct business. How the iPad works in such a role?
For a long time in terms of equipment designed to work I was, as a devotee of technological innovations, the extreme conservative. Mandatory set was then laptop supplemented smartphone , which in many cases meant from carrying unnecessary ballast and not very handy.
The situation changed only by the third generation iPad – the one who charmed the Retina display and ended a long series of equipment, equipped with a 30-pin connector. It is difficult to overstate the convenience afforded. He was – after my phone operating over a week without charging – the first device to power brought the issue to a simple “ do not worry about it .”
Never lacks power, connect to the Internet lost only in the largest forest wilderness, yet compact enough to have it always with you . Maybe that’s why I never felt the need to have a smartphone with a large screen?
Sam equipment, even the most carefully designed, however, is nothing without the right software. In the case of the iPad app selection should please everyone – there is probably no area of life, for which one does not opracowałby some appki. Which of them are useful and worth recommending?
This absolute base – the ability to create, edit, and share documents in many cases, can make life extremely . The condition is one: sync with the cloud, so you started, eg text. On a laptop with no problem will finish on the tablet. Or the other way around.
And there is no more important that specific solution you choose – whether it be a Microsoft Office , or applications from iWork cooperating with iCloud cloud, and now I’m using Zoho package, which includes both desktop applications and a multitude of various specialized tools. They are all good , with all enjoyed and from time to time I go back to it, and the choice is simply a matter of individual preference.
This application, which is in very simplistic terms can be classified as electronic notebooks, or – which is more closely related to their function – personal knowledge base . Such real, where we will create something more than just a single file with a note. We can enrich for any content, Internet clippings, photos, or other media, categorize, share …
Although at first glance it may seem triumph of form over substance, I assure you – every minute devoted to understanding the application asks repeatedly in the form of time saved later . Since using OneNote’a, my control over their notes. It’s in my best recommendation. It is worth noting that a similar possibility – albeit a bit differently – has probably somewhat popular in the world Evernote .
I sometimes still use traditional postal services. Those with a piece of paper in an envelope, sticking stamps and stereotypical train to discourteous lady with the mail window. Fortunately, the Polish Post Office released a Envelo – a service and an application that allows you to e-mail management and sending traditional letters directly from the tablet.
Chmurowa Another service by which life has become much easier. Simple, do not require any file synchronization makes the I have them always at hand and it does not matter whether at a time using a computer, smartphone or tablet.
Thus, it is worth remembering for each service running in the cloud, is the principle of limited trust. In the case of the popular, free solutions worth at a time to make a local copy of the data and save it on a physical medium. You should also remember that services like Dropbox willingly cooperate with different services, so if you trade in uranium, better to keep away from them. An alternative to Dropbox is a service Box or Mega .
This is one of those applications where simplicity and specialization is a huge advantage. Instapaper has one goal – holds for us content from the web, displaying them in such a way that instead of the source page with a million irrelevant advertising allowances and we see plain text , enriched by up to link at pictures or videos.
Brilliant solution for those who read a lot. And also a great way to create yourself every day list of content to read for later . The alternative is, inter alia, Pocket or List mode of reading and Safari Reader.
Before I enjoy every day with the iPad, I was drowning in the various papers. Bills, invoices, contracts … I guess it shows badly about my organizing, but it turned out to be just rescue tablet, giving me access to all necessary documents .
While more and more of them circulating in electronic form, it still gets to me quite a lot of different papers. Then, instead of running a desktop scanner , a much more convenient to simply put a card on the site and take a picture. Or – even better – document scanner treated as Scanner Pro photographic application that is enriched with several useful functions in such activities as automatic edge detection and cropping.
Electronic management tasks also in the case of group work is a huge advantage. Trello is all that is needed in such situations – creating groups of tasks, assigning users, alerts, notifications, and above all simple, approachable interface, well-checking when using the touch screen. An alternative to Trello can be, among others, Asana .
Check, instead of trusting to reviews!
Applications is essential, however, deciding to purchase a tablet to keep in mind about something else – even the most careful review and detailed specification will not replace a few moments when we can touch devices, the check its performance , responsiveness, and how in the hand.
Before you buy is always good to take a tablet before hand and verify that our experience will coincide with those which read somewhere. This can be done eg. In one of the lounges iSpot where you will find not only the current offer Apple’s hardware, but most of all competent and helpful service , by which we choose the perfect equipment for your needs. The other applications and use the iPad in business you will learn on iPad in business iSpot website.
