Free iPad guides for business users
Although many buy an Apple iPad for entertainment purpose, it is now playing an important role in today’s business world – along with the mobile trends and BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) trends, iPad is an increasingly common mobile device for small businesses.
This infographic shows you pretty much the trend in small business: 34 percent of small businesses are using iPad in 2012, a quadruple of the 2011 figure.
With that being said, it is important for you – small business owners and professionals – to understand more about your iPad. I’m not only talking about the basics, but also the “tricks” to make your iPad work harder for you and your business, helping you to be more productive.
