Making the most of your smartphone and tablet

- 2. Smartphones are great for business. They help you stay on schedule by acting as a personal organizer as well. A Smartphone is basically a full computer that fits into your pocket. You are able to do almost everything you can do on your laptop, plus you can use it for calls and texts, not to mention the camera and other features not available on common computers.
- 4. The iPhone oozes polish. It’s apparent in the hardware, the OS and the apps. The camera and music capabilities of the iPhone are obvious strengths, but the gap between the iPhone and everything else in these areas is staggering. Every other manufacturer is chasing Apple and making their phones more and more iPhone-like.
- 5. Android is a great choice because of it’s tight integration with Google’s services, a carrier- supported mobile hot spot feature, and a variety of hardware options. It also has very good background processing; the ability to display the weather and daily agenda on the home screen via widgets is very useful as well.
- 6. The traditional BlackBerry is the best of the three platforms for communication activities. The traditional strengths of the BlackBerry platform are: a great keyboard, efficiencies for power users via hardware key shortcuts, apps with Spartan interfaces that are built for speed. But… The things that made it different, and in many ways, better, are dropping out of the platform as it tries to play “me too” with the iPhone and Android.
- 7. Apps are essential to productivity, entertainment, and full function of your Smartphone! What should you get? (after Angry Birds, of course) Siri recommends these: ◦ TeuxDeux ◦ Instagram ◦ Pinterest ◦ ShopSavvy
- 8. Social Media: ◦ Facebook ◦ Twitter ◦ LinkedIn ◦ YouTube ◦ HootSuite ◦ Dragon Dictation Lifestyle: ◦ Chase Mobile ◦ DirecTV ◦ Barcode Scanner ◦ Key Ring ◦ MyFitnessPal ◦ RunKeeper Battery Life: ◦ Juice Defender ◦ Advanced Task Killer ◦ Battery Boost Magic

- 13. Larger display, better for presentations Easier to carry than a laptop computer Instant access, no waiting to boot up
- 14. Perhaps because it bore a strong resemblance to Apple's already wildly popular iPhone – it even runs the same operating system – the iPad caught fire immediately with the public and turned tablet computers into a major product category.
- 15. Like the iPad, Android tablets have a touch-screen interface. Both Apple and the various Android manufacturers offer apps through the App Store or the Android Market. However, only the Android tablets support Flash.

- 18. Online storage for all your media. Music you purchase in iTunes appears automatically on all your devices. You can access your purchase history from the iTunes Store on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, PC, or Apple TV. And since you already own the songs, albums, or TV shows in your purchase history, you can tap to download them to any of your devices.
- 19. Sync your Google account with your Android or Apple device to access email, contacts, maps, documents, music, YouTube, and all other Google features. Many Android-powered phones and tablets come with Google applications pre-installed.
