Using iPads In Your Workplace
The Apple iPad has been phenomenally successful at integrating into the daily lives of Americans. Companies such as Citrix have developed apps for the iPad which give their employees the abilities to access their work computer's desktop regardless of their location, provided that they have access to wireless Internet.
Businesses have begun to realize and harness the computing power of not just the iPad, but any of a number of new tablets being designed and marketed specifically for business use.
We have the iPhone's success to thank for this rapid expansion of iPad use by both small and large businesses. When the iPhone was first released, it was not able to securely link to corporate email addresses, but owners demanded support for their business email systems. Apple responded, and iPhone took its place as the phone choice for executives in America, edging out BlackBerry as the go-to email-ready phone.
The iPad quickly moved into the workplace arena and became the go-to device for businesses. A plethora of apps are available through iTunes and the Apple store now provides workplace solutions previously only available via desktop PCs.
In addition to business use, government employees and officials have begun to embrace the iPad for the secure handling of sensitive documents. The iPad is safe, they say, and helps reduce the amount of paper bought and used in a typical office. The iPad dominates the tablet market for increased-productivity uses, but more and more competitors arrive daily, looking for a piece of the business-tablet market.
Asus is one of those competitors. Asus executives announced plans for four brand new tablet devices launching in 2012, aimed directly at taking a chunk of the tablet market that Apple corners.
Two of Asus's devices will arrive next year, and will run on the newest version of the Andriod operating system, known as 'Ice Cream Sandwich'. The other two tablets will run on a version of Windows. Both are scheduled to be unveiled in late summer or 2012.
Nokia, another well-known company, may also be releasing two tablets into the market after sufficient testing is completed. The number of companies producing tablets may just become as plentiful as the selection of tablet-related business applications designed to help companies get ahead.
