It’s time I gave the world of portable computing its own special edition…after all, I bet most of you have a smartphone or a tablet…or both. So let’s see if I can provide you with some useful information to help with your portable devices.
For the vast majority of us, our portable devices use iOS (Apple iPhone and iPad), Android (tons of phones and tablets), and Windows (Windows tablets and Windows Phone 8). These are the dominate systems in portable computing and what I will cover here (but I might sneak in some info on e-book readers here and there). I will do my best to cover them all equally, although its Apple and Android that dominate this market, so they will get special emphasis (hopefully equally).
I will cover the hardware and the software and include buying guides to help you through this computing minefield. So hang on, and let’s go!!
