The iPad, Apple's tablet, has been finding its place as a part of America's spare time and leisure market. But while it's a fun gadget, it can also be utilized as a business tool. Apps, like one designed by Citrix, give employees access to their desktop computers anywhere that they have an internet connection.
Businesses have begun to notice more than just the star of the tablet PC world, the iPad. The steady line of new tablets being produced for the office workspace has invited businesses to develop plans that will take full advantage of their power.
The increasing demand and utilization of tablet PCs in the workplace can be attributed to changes made with the iPhone. Originally, the Apple-made phone did not include a method to connect corporate e-mail systems to its operating system software. After the implementation of such a feature, the iPhone quickly became a favorite of corporate executives over its competition, the Blackberry.
Riding off of the iPhone and other Apple products' successes, the iPad gained immediate attention for use in the workplace. It already had the necessary software to support businesses' needs that the first generation iPhone users demanded. The iTunes store includes a vast selection of office-related features once exclusive to desktop computers due to this demand.
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 the many companies in the technology sector that is nipping at Apple's heels. They made a recent announcement that they will be releasing four state of the art devices into the tablet market.
Two of the tablets are designed to run on Android's latest operating system -known affectionately as Ice Cream Sandwich -while the other two tablets are based on Windows technology. Asus plans to reveal these tablets to the public in 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.
