What iPad Apps Would Be Great on Windows RT Tablets?

Everybody is anticipating the release of the Windows RT tablet PCs on October 28.  Since Microsoft announced it four months ago, no one has a really clear idea of what the final product will be like.  This is because Microsoft will be using its own operating system developed specifically for tablet PCs, and for the moment, no device has been using it yet. Even during the product’s launch, there was no way the attendees could sample a working demo unit, as Microsoft limited it for the presenter’s use only.  So you can just imagine the anticipation the techies and geeks have been experiencing since June.  Stores that sell Eee Pad Transformer would tell you that the Windows RT tablets would be a great addition to the products they are already offering.

Since there is no working demo unit available for review, people are left to use their imagination on what the tablet PC will be like.  Most people curious about the Windows Surface RT tablets are already used to using their iPads, so they would want some of the apps to also be available for download on the Windows RT platform. For iDevice fanatics, here are five iPad apps that would be great on Windows Surface tablets as well:

• One of the apps that would make the RT tablets suitable for turning into a mobile office is Skype.  A lot of tablet owners use this not just for chatting or calling friends but also for business and work.  This would come easy as Microsoft runs this.  It would be odd not to include this in the line of the RT apps if you ask those who sell G-Slate.

 

• Evernote is another app that would be great to have on the Windows tablet.  Even if Microsoft has the Skydrive cloud support, a lot of existing tablet PC users are already used to the Evernote cloud system. If windows app developers can manage to sneak in Skydrive cloud support on Evernote, or even make their own version of the app, then that would be great.

 

• Having the Kindle app on the Windows tablet would make it an even more useful device.  Currently, Windows phone owners can download the Kindle, Bookviser, or Adobe PDF Reader to serve as their e-book reader apps, but the device does not have a pre-installed e-book app. For a tablet PC, having this app is a must, so Windows app developers better get ready.

 

• Giving access to the Chrome browser might be a suicidal act for Microsoft since it already has IE pre-installed in its tablet. However, given the popularity of this browser, they might be able to draw in more buyers.  If they could get IE to perform like chrome, then maybe users wouldn’t complain too much.

There are a lot more iPad apps that would be great to have on the Windows tablet, if you consult those that sell iPad 2. But then, everything remains to be seen until we have the tablet in our hands.

Things to Consider by Apple Users

Even if you have been using Apple gadgets for as long as you can remember, you will still have questions about your gadgets. Sometimes, if we do not know what is wrong with our iPads, we sell old iPads online, just so we can get rid of it. Most of the times, we do not read the instructions. We all don’t, especially the terms and conditions. However, you might want to read tips on taking care of your Apple gadget to avoid any future problems.

Have a Computer

Some people think that if you have a tablet PC, you do not need a personal computer. They are just the same right? However, first time users need to plug their new iPod, iPhone or iPad into a computer, especially a computer with iTunes to get it working. You will not be able to use your Apple gadget if you do not have a computer. It is like buying it just to have one, not to use one.

If you do have a computer, it’s a waste of space if it does not have iTunes. You can only browse the internet and check your e-mail and that is it. Useless! You need iTunes for complete use of an iPad. Remember, Apple created that gadget. They will not let you use it by connecting it to software that is not theirs. Download iTunes to sync your device to be able to use it completely.

Avoid Water

Obviously, any electronic device is susceptible to water. Unless you are some caveman of some sort, you know that an Apple gadget runs on electricity, and electricity and water do not go together, right? Unless you want to completely destroy your tablet PC, avoid water. If you got your tablet into water, most likely you will not be able to use it anymore. Sadly, most online refurbishment companies do not buy non-working tablets. However, you can sell your broken iPad to CashforiPads.com for a high price.

Going back to water, condensation can build up inside the gadget. This will affect the camera the most because of the moisture. However, too much moisture will damage the gadget completely.

Be Careful Where You Put Your Gadget

Sometimes, we forget where we put our gadget. For example, when you are driving, you put your tablet on your lap. Sometimes, when you get out of the car, you forget that it is in your lap, so it falls off as you stand up, cracking the screen because of the hard drop. So always keep in mind where you put it.

If your gadget has no protection, keep it out of reach from metallic objects like keys, pens and any other scratchy objects, unless you want some scratches on your screen. Do not put your tablet face down if it does not have any protection, sometimes minor scratches occur when you put it down like that.

You see, taking care of your gadget is very important unless you can buy another one. If you want to use it for a long period of time, then extend its life span by taking care of it. Because in the end, once your tablet is broken, you can only say goodbye to it and sell broken iPads online.
