Notas del editor
Because these devices have a smaller storage area, you will need to store your data in the cloud. My favorite is dropbox. I use it constantly to access my data from a number of devices – my laptop, phone, ipad, computer at the reference desk. Google Drive and Sugar Sync are also very popular
Rumors about microsofoft office coming to the iPad shortly – would love to have the outlook calendar on the ipad!
Outlook, gmail, cloud magic
Calendars are often dictated by people’s places of employment and very often the tablets default calendar works well. If you want something a bit more fun
These apps are everchanging – Nook and Kindle have historically been the biggest players in the retail market. Google play and the Newsstand updated iBooks draw in a smaller percentage of the market. Overdrive is the biggest library circulation
