When Apple released their new operating system iOS 7, many people anticipated the arrival of a new range of products. In just a little over a month, we are not disappointed to hear the news that Apple has produced new iPads. Apple’s latest press release revealed the new iPad mini with Retina display and its bigger, thinner and lighter sibling, the iPad Air. As always, the new iPad range are easy on the eyes, but do they really have what it takes to beat off the competition?

Apple iPad Mini with Retina The new iPad mini with retina display is available in a range of options. Clearly an improvement on its predecessor, Apple have pulled out all the stops to increase its efficiency and functionality, with powerful architecture, remarkable responsiveness and an updated operating system all in the palm of your hand!

• Operating system - iOS 7 appears to have been specifically designed with the new iPad range in mind. A comparable change to previous models illustrates a crystal clear and smooth operating platform.
• Processor - The operating system benefits from the new iPad mini’s 64-bit A7 processor, making light and fast work of heavy apps and giving you greater performance on the go with everything you do.
• Screen size - At 7.9- Inches, the display is no different in size to its predecessor. What makes the difference is the full 2048 x 1536 screen resolution that enables the new iPad mini to produce razor sharp text and richer graphics.
• Memory and storage - At 1GB Ram there is more than enough memory for you to run all your apps without any concern. The new iPad mini starts from 16GB of storage space with options available in 32GB, 64GB and 128GB.
• Battery life - Remaining at an impressive ten hours of battery life, the new iPad mini with retina display can still hold it’s own amongst competition.
• Price and availability - The new iPad mini with retina display is expected to be available around mid-late November, just in time for the Christmas period, so you can be sure that with a starting price from USD $399, demand will be high.

Apple iPad Air Never failing to deliver, Apple updated the new iPad Air with its powerful A7 chip. In human language this means, the iPad Air can handle more and bigger programs at the same time without any compromise in speed, functionality and battery life. Weighing in at just one pound it still packs a punch as the bigger brother to the new iPad mini with retina display.

• Operating system - The new iPad Air truly breaks the boundaries of accessibility. Enhanced speed and performance are the products of iOS 7 and this is apparent in the everyday use of the iPad Air.
• Processor - The remarkably responsive nature of the A7 chip with 64-bit architecture produces unparalleled speed and precision. Work, play and creation has never been more accessible.
• Screen size - Apple’s philosophy of keeping things simple is certainly apparent in the 9.7 inch retina display screen size. It displays a visual feast by delivering a million more pixels than HDTV.
• Memory and storage - The memory will definitely be able to handle the most gruesome of tasks and hardcore gamers need not to be worried. In line with the iPad Mini, the iPad Air is available in 16GB, 32GB, 64GB and 128GB.
• Battery life - With a thinner, lighter feel, and powerful processor, users will be pleased to know that there has been no compromise to its ten hours of battery life.
• Price and availability - Prices start from $499 for the 16GB Wi-Fi model or $629 for the Wi-Fi + Cellular 16GB Model. The new iPad Air is in stock now.

In September Apple launched their new version of the popular mobile operating system iOS. Some big changes were introduced with iOS 7 that not only changed the OS looks but the way we interact with it. Now that it has been out for a few weeks, there are reports from some users that their iPad or iPhone has seen a decrease in battery life.

If you have noticed that the recent update to iOS 7 has caused a drop in how long your iPad's battery lasts, here are five things you can try to improve the time between charges.

Turn off AirDrop AirDrop for mobile devices was introduced with the iOS 7 update and allows users to share files with others without using an Internet connection. Like other file sharing systems, when AirDrop is activated it is actively searching for other devices and therefore draining your battery.

If you don't use this feature, or only use it occasionally turn it off to increase battery life. You can do this by swiping up from the bottom of the screen to open the Control Center and tapping on AirDrop. The text will be white to indicate AirDrop is on, and should turn to black when it is off.

Bonus tip: Tapping the Bluetooth button (middle button in the top row of Control Center) will automatically turn off AirDrop and all Bluetooth connections which will further increase battery life.

Check your Wi-Fi settings Many users connect to trusted Wi-Fi connections at work or at home in order to save data or simply go online. When they are out of range of these devices however, they leave their iPad's Wi-Fi radio on. When you do this, the device constantly searches for open connections to connect to.

This constant searching is actually a huge drain on the battery, so it is best to turn it off when you are not near a trusted network. This can be done by swiping up from the bottom of the screen to open the Control Center and tapping on the Wi-Fi button (second button from the left on the top row). The Wi-Fi symbol should turn black to indicate it is off.

Bonus tip: To really conserve battery life, try turning Airplane Mode on. This will turn all communication - Wi-Fi, Data, Bluetooth, notifications, etc. off and will drastically increase battery life. On the downside, you won't be able to connect to the Internet or receive notifications.

Change your Location Services settings Many apps request that your device provide them with location information on a regular basis. Some, like Maps actually require your location, but many more don't. If you have multiple apps open that constantly require location updates, you will likely see an increased drain on your battery.

The solution is to change what apps are allowed to receive location information. This can be done by tapping on the Settings app, selecting Privacy, followed by Location Services. From there you can select which apps can use your device's GPS, Wi-Fi or mobile connection to detect location. Chances are high, you can turn off at least half of the apps.

Bonus tip: Turning off Location Services completely (slide the tab beside Location Services to Off) will also conserve battery life.

Check what's running in the background Multitasking received a big overhaul in iOS 7. Sure, it can still be accessed by double tapping the home button, but now the open apps are presented in cards with a screenshot of their last state. Tapping on the screenshot opens the app. The thing is, it takes battery power to keep all of these apps open and updated.

What's more, some of these apps will actually refresh in the background which could further increase battery drain. If you aren't too worried about having constantly open apps, why not close those you aren't using. Simply open the multitasking menu and swipe up to close apps.

Bonus tip: You can completely turn off background app refreshing (the service which keeps the information shown in the multitasking screenshots current) by opening the Settings app and selecting General, followed by Background App Refresh and sliding the button from On to Off.

Turn off parallax Parallax is a new effect introduced in iOS 7 where the apps on your homescreen appear to float above the wallpaper and look almost 3-D. They will also move a bit when you tilt the tablet. While this is a cool effect, it isn't overly useful for many business owners. Powering this movement and near 3-D rendering does put more strain on the battery, causing a drop in how long it will last.

You can turn this effect off by going to Settings, tapping on General, followed by Accessibility and Parallax. Slide the button from On to Off.

Bonus tip: Almost all modern mobile devices, the iPad included, use lithium-ion batteries. These batteries work their best when they are constantly topped off, or charged. In order to get the most out of your iPad's battery, you should be charging it on a regular basis and not letting it get below 50%.

Most Apple's iPad users spend a considerable amount of time online and is surfing the Internet. To do this they mainly rely on Safari, Apple's Internet browser which is included on all Apple devices. While Safari is a perfectly fine browser, at first glance it seems to be missing a Bookmarks Bar. But, did you know that there is actually a Bookmarks Bar on Safari? You just need to turn it on!

Here is a brief overview of how you can obtain and manage the Bookmarks Bar on your iPad's version of Safari:

Adding the Bookmarks Bar You can enable this feature by:

1. Tapping on the Settings app on your iPad.
2. Selecting Safari from the left-hand column.
3. Sliding Always Show Bookmarks Bar to On.

This will add the Bookmarks Bar to every window of Safari on your iPad. When you launch Safari, you should notice a new grey bar below the URL bar. When you bookmark a page and save it to the Bar, you will see the name of the page appear.

Adding bookmarks to the Bookmark Bar If you would like to add bookmarks to this Bar, you can do so by:

1. Navigating to the webpage in Safari.
2. Tapping the + beside the URL bar.
3. Naming the page by deleting or modifying the text below Save.
4. Pressing on Bookmarks then on Bookmarks Bar in the pop-up window.
5. Selecting Save.

The name of the site should pop up in the Bookmarks Bar to the right of the last bookmark added to the Bar.

Editing the Bookmarks Bar Eventually you will want to edit the Bookmarks Bar. This can be done by:

1. Tapping the book icon at the top of the window.
2. Pressing Bookmarks Bar followed by Edit in the window that opens.

You will now be able to select different bookmarks. If you press the red circle with the X in it beside each bookmark, it will be deleted. If you tap on the bookmark itself you should be able to edit its name and URL. Tap Done after you have edited or deleted what you need to and any changes should be updated.

A popular reason many users chose Apple products is that they are usable and generally easy for almost everyone to pick up and figure out how to work. The iPad is no exception, this is why it has quickly become one of the most popular devices out there. One feature that makes Apple products so easy to use is keyboard shortcuts, of which there are more than a few for the iPad.

Here are three keyboard shortcuts for the iPad you may find useful.

Separate the keyboard A common complaint of many users is that the keyboard can be too big, taking up way too much of the screen, and even making it tougher to type. Did you know that you can separate the keyboard? If you pinch open the keyboard (use two fingers from one hand, and separate them as long as they are on the keyboard), it should pop apart and hover with each half on the left and right side of the screens.

You should be able to move these halves up and down to position them where you like. You can merge the keyboards back together by pinching closed (use two fingers from one hand and move them together while over the keyboard).

There is actually another way to do this: If you tap and hold on the keyboard button (the bottom right of the keyboard), you should see a popup window asking you if you want to Split or Undock your keyboard. Undock means you will be able to move it, while Split means separate the keyboard.

Quickly add a full stop/period Tired of always searching for the period? You don't actually have to find it on the iPad's keyboard. All you have to do to add one is quickly tap twice on the spacebar, and it should be added in automatically, along with a space. This should make it faster and easier to type.

Activate alternative letters At first glance, the keyboard is lacking special characters used in writing and other languages. They are actually there, just hiding. You can activate them by simply pressing and holding for a second or two on a key, you should see a box pop up above the key with different options. Here are two popular ones:

• ?. Key - When you tap and hold on this, you should be able to select double quotations.
• Caps lock - If you need to type something in all capital letters, simply press and hold on the shift key, you should see a highlight or light turn on below it indicating caps lock is on.

To find all of the options, it would be a good idea to take a few minutes pressing on each key to see the different characters available. You'll be surprised as to how many are actually hiding.

Believe it or not, Apple has actually put alternative keys in the number section of the keyboard as well. When you switch to this mode, pressing and holding on the keys will give you more options. For example, pressing on the dollar sign will bring up the currency symbol for up to five other currencies.

The tablet is regarded by many business owners, managers and employees as one of the more useful business tools, and the most popular tablet is Apple's iPad. The iPad is a reliable device with a user-friendly interface. There are times however when you might run across problems with it. One issue, for example, is when apps stop downloading mid-way through, or just simply don't update.

If you've ever had an app stop updating mid way through, or refuse to update did you know what to do? If you encounter this issue here are six things you can try in order to get the app downloading again.

1. Tap on the app Sometimes, the easiest thing to do is to close the download window and find the app on your device. Tap on it as if to open it. This could force the iPad to recognize that the files have not finished downloading and, if it does recognize this, will force iTunes to resume or restart the download.

2. Check iTunes for other pending apps If re-opening the app doesn't work, try opening iTunes and tapping on the Downloads tab. Take a look to see if you are downloading other apps, movies, songs, etc. Often larger items will take priority over apps, sometimes even pausing the download. You can get around this by deleting any pending apps and downloads (make note what they are first so you can re-download them later). This should move the app you want updated up the list so it starts to download.

3. Restart the iPad The iPad, while a robust machine, might crash from time-to-time, especially if it is an older device and has been used heavily. Try pressing and holding the power button until you get the option to turn the device off. Then, wait about 30 seconds and turn it on again. This should clear up any issues from a crash, and may re-start the download within a few minutes.

4. Check your Internet connection A common issue that is often overlooked when trying to download an app or update is to check your iPad Internet connectivity. Try opening Safari or another browser and navigating to a web page. If this opens, you are connected to the Internet. If not, try looking at the top of the iPad for the Wi-Fi symbol, or data connection symbol. This should be on the top-left corner. If you are usually connected to Wi-Fi and don't see the symbol, check your router, or open Settings, select Wi-Fi and tap on the network you usually use. Once you are connected the download should start within a few minutes.

5. Check how much storage space you have Sometimes a download will stop because your iPad doesn't have enough free storage space. You should see a message telling you that there isn't enough space, and that the download will be paused. If you delete unnecessary or unwanted files and apps the download should resume immediately after the iPad senses there is enough room. If you are unsure how much storage space you have left open Settings and tap on General. Look under the Available section, and the number shown indicates how much space is available.

It's important to remember that apps often take up slightly more space than is stated on iTunes, so be sure to leave a little extra and ensure space isn't running too low. 6. Reset all settings Finally, if your app is still not downloading or has paused updating, try resetting all the device's settings. This will not wipe your iPad's memory, but will reset all changes you have made to settings. To do this, go to your iPad's settings and tap on General. Scroll down to Reset, select Reset All and accept the prompt telling you your settings will be reset.

For many Apple fans, early June has become an important time of year. This is when Apple usually holds their annual developers conference - WWDC. It's during this event that Apple usually announces, and shows off, the new version of their popular mobile operating system - iOS. This year, Apple showed off a completely revamped version which could catch the eye of many business users.

Here is an overview of the changes iOS 7 will bring to both the iPad and the iPhone. According to Craig Federighi, Apple’s senior vice president of Software Engineering, "iOS 7 is the most significant iOS update since the original iPhone." The major changes that business users will benefit from include:

A completely redesigned interface The interface of your iDevice has been revamped, with virtually nothing left from the older versions. This includes different icons, typeface (font), application and even the color scheme. The new interface runs on a grid system which includes all apps and windows. What this means is everything looks near, symmetrical and easier to read. Add to this a new color palate and the new interface looks modern, and best of all: A part of the phone.

iOS 7 has also been re-oriented to work on layers. Many apps have been given a translucent background so when opened they simply sit on top of the other apps, giving you a sense that there is more to the phone than just the one app you are currently using.

Control Center Many iDevice users have been looking for an easier way to access their device's settings. iOS 7 will introduce Control Center, which can be accessed from anywhere by swiping up from the bottom of the screen.

The Control Center will be your central location for popular settings and includes buttons to turn Wi-Fi on or off; set the brightness; turn on/off Airplane mode; change songs; and even access popular apps like the camera.

This will make managing important settings quick and easy, no more having to scroll through Settings to find and tinker with them.

Multitasking iOS 7 will finally introduce proper multitasking, meaning you will be able to quickly switch between open apps by sweeping your finger over the screen. You will also be able to close open apps by tapping on the image and flicking away from you. Apple noted that this feature will learn what your favorite apps are and keep them open in the background so they can be accessed quickly. This could be a great feature for the business user who uses multiple apps at the same time.

Notifications Center The Notifications Center has also received a revamp and is now even more useful. The biggest change is that your notifications will be separated into three different views: Today, All and Missed. The Today view will show you information like appointments, weather and other important tasks. The Missed view will show missed calls, texts, shares, etc.

Car integration If you spend a large percentage of your time on the road, iOS and Siri can now be integrated into certain cars' navigating screens. You will be able to see not only navigation but tell Siri to call, email, or read texts, all while driving. Apple noted that this feature will be integrated in 2014 models from Honda, BMW, and Mercedes, plus Chevy and more.

AirDrop AirDrop has been a feature in the desktop version of Apple's Operating System for a couple of years now, and will be introduced with iOS 7. If you are unfamiliar with AirDrop, think of it as a program that allows you to share essentially anything in your phone with nearby users over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.

Many business users who store files on their phones will find this useful, as they will be able to easily share files without having to attach them to an email or upload to a cloud storage provider. One potential use for this is to store presentations on your iPad, and when you need a projector share it with a computer connected to the projector. No having to fumble with cords.

While iOS 7 has been announced, Apple noted, "iOS 7 will be available as a free software update for iPhone 4 and later, iPad 2 and later, iPad mini and iPod touch (fifth generation) this fall. Some features may not be available on all products." If you have an iDevice and are wondering what features you will get when the update releases, checkout this Gizmodo article.

At first glance it may seem that Apple and Google are inharmonious - at least some hardcore fans would have you think that. The truth is, many Apple users rely on Google's products for email, storage and search. Many have installed the Google Search app on their iPad or iPhone and may use it on a regular basis. The app has recently been updated with an awesome new feature called Google Now.

Here's a brief overview of Google Now, and how to install and use it.

Ok, so, what exactly is Google Now? Google Now is best thought of as Google's answer to Apple's Siri. It's an app that functions like a personal assistant and has become a large component of Google's Search for mobile app. The idea of Now is that you can use natural language to search for answers to questions, find recommendations or even perform actions like creating a calendar entry, or writing an email.

Google Now also passively delivers information that it thinks is useful to you. While creepy at first, especially when you see how accurate predictions can be, it is actually a really cool tool. What's interesting about Google Now is that relevant information is displayed below search results in what are called 'cards'. The cards shown will depend on your location, recent searches, calendar and even method of transport.

Probably the best way to explain Google Now is through an example:

Say you have a meeting with a potential supplier at a coffee shop across town tomorrow. You pull up the Google Search app on your iPad, tap the microphone button and ask Google, "What's the coffee shop on 5th Avenue?". Google searches for the coffee shop and comes back with three search results including the shop you are looking for. You then enter the name and address in your Google Calendar, along with the date and time.

The next day, you look at the Google Search app again because you've forgotten the exact address. Just below the Search bar you will see that new cards have popped up. The first is a reminder of the scheduled event, along with the contact information of the person you are meeting. Just below that is a map on how to get to the coffee shop, along with driving directions.

When you get in the car, you notice that traffic seems a little heavier than usual, so you pull up Google Search and the card has been updated with a map showing current traffic along with what Google thinks will be the fastest route, without you having to ask.

This app works surprisingly well, and many users have noted that both search results and the cards are accurate. Where Google Now really shines is when you are traveling. If you go to another country, cards will pop up with the exchange rate, translator, local map with landmarks, time back home and even flight information (assuming the reservation has been sent to your Gmail account).

How to install and use If this app sounds interesting, all you have to do to get it is download Google Search app from the Apple App Store, install it, open it and sign in using your Google account. Cards will start to popup after a couple of days. You can tweak what cards appear by using the search feature, or through the app's settings.

While this is a Google product, it can be useful for your Apple device, especially if you have a Google account. If you would like to learn more about this app or how the iPad can make your business easier, contact us today to see how we can help.

The iPad is widely considered to be the most popular tablet, even for business. A common reason for this is because it allows business users to be more productive and take the office with them when they leave. A downside of the iPad, and indeed most tablets, is the keyboard, which can often hinder productivity. There is a feature that helps negate this factor however.

Here's a tip on how you can improve typing on your iPad through the use of keyboard shortcuts.

What are they? Keyboard shortcuts are a built-in feature of iOS that allow you to type in a few letters and have your iPad input full sentences or words. This is similar to a Web browser's autocomplete feature which will fill in forms when you enter a few letters or even a word.

How it works Keyboard shortcuts require manual setup, you will have to set a phrase, sentence, word, etc. as well as the letters that will input the phrase. For example you can set the letters 'beml' to be a shortcut for your business email; when you type 'beml', your iPad will input your email address.

These shortcuts could be quite useful, especially if you find yourself continually entering the same word or sentence. This will make you more productive and, as long as you have the correct information, will ensure that there are no typos in important words or phrases. How to set it keyboard shortcuts Taking the business email example from above, here's how you can set keyboard shortcuts. Note: These instructions relate to iOS 6.1 (the latest version of the operating system.)

1. Open the Settings app (gray box with three cogs).
2. Select General followed by Keyboard.
3. Scroll down and select Add New Shortcut.
4. Enter the full word/phrase/sentence in the Phrase section. In this case you would enter your full email address.
5. Enter the shortcut letters that will be related to the Phrase. In this case you would enter beml.
6. Tap Save in the top-right of the window.

When entering shortcuts, it is a good idea to not use common letters or combinations that make up words. For example if you set a shortcut as 'mai', everytime you type 'mai', the phrase will be entered. To come up with a good shortcut, try using the first letter of the first word, a middle letter and the last. Or, you could enter three consonants or vowels in a row e.g., 'eee'.

How to edit keyboard shortcuts You may notice that when you navigate to the Keyboard section in the Settings app, there is a number of existing shortcuts. You can edit these by:

1. Opening the Settings app (gray box with three cogs).
2. Selecting General followed by Keyboard.
3. Tapping Edit and selecting the shortcut to edit from the Shortcuts box.
4. Editing the phrase and shortcut associated to it in the window that opens.
5. Pressing Save in the top-right of the window.

The next time you need to enter a phrase that you have setup a shortcut for, try entering the shortcut. This should make typing on the iPad a bit more efficient and save you time.

Tablets are highly portable and powerful mobile devices that have caught the attention of many business owners and managers. The most popular tablet has to be the iPad, which is seen nearly everywhere these days. One of the reasons it's so popular is that you can connect to 3G networks and be connected wherever you go. One problem is the networks vary in terms of coverage, so how can you tell which is best?

Here's two ways you can figure out the areas covered by various wireless providers so you can get the most out of your data connection on your iPad.

Within the USA If you live in the US, you can install an app called Coverage. This app is a map of the United States that shows the network coverage of the major network providers - AT&T, Verizon, Sprint and T-Mobile.

When you install and open the app, you will be presented with a map and a panel where you can search for cities or your current location. You can also select which networks to show. The map covers all of the US including Hawaii, Alaska, US Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico, which makes it ideal for business users who travel throughout the US.

Because this app doesn't require an Internet connection, the data isn't 100% accurate, but from tests, it looks to be accurate enough for most users. USD$2.99 from iTunes.

Rest of the world If you aren't in the US, don't worry. Check out OpenSignal, a website that keeps an up-to-date map of wireless coverage around the world. You can search for 2G, 3G and 4G signal strength using an address or by selecting a country and city.

The map displays what OpenSignal calls a heat map - it's the signal strength in the area you are looking at. It will also show the NetworkRank based on the strongest signal of the providers. For example, select Sydney as your city and Australia as your country, and zoom into the North Sydney. You'll see that the map is covered in a haze that goes from blue to red. Blue indicates weak signal strength, while red represents strong. You'll also notice that Telstra Mobile is the strongest provider in this area.

This site can help you pinpoint which carrier to go with, based on your local area. It is also a good way to see if your provider has signal where you may be travelling.

A word of warning If you do have a data plan for your iPad, and plan to be traveling outside of your current location, it would be a good idea to consult the map or OpenSignal before you leave. There has been many stories of iPad users leaving their data plan on while traveling out of state or country, and receiving shockingly high mobile bills.

This is because if you leave your iPad connected to Data, it will connect to any compatible network e.g., AT&T users in the US will automatically connect to Rogers Wireless if they go to Canada. This is commonly referred to as roaming, and many networks charge extra for this. When traveling, it may be a good idea to just turn off your iPad's data connection.

You can turn your data connection off by:

1. Opening your iPad's Settings app by pressing the icon with the gears.
2. Tapping on Cellular Data which will be located on the right-hand menu bar.
3. Sliding the bar beside Cellular Data to Off.

Almost every modern tech gadget, regardless of the manufacturer, now focuses on light programs, often referred to as apps. There's an app for what seems like everything these days, and they really have helped usher in an era of enhanced productivity. If you have an iPad, you have no doubt installed them, and may even use them in your business. You likely use the touchscreen keyboard, but realize it's inefficient when it comes to typing longer messages. There are apps out there that make this easier though.

Here's two that help make typing on the iPad easier and more efficient.

Dragon Dictation When it comes to typing on a touchscreen, many users are not keen on typing longer messages or documents. It would be a lot easier if we could just dictate our thoughts. Dragon Dictation allows users to do just that.

The idea is, you can speak naturally into the mic and it will translate this into text. You can use it to dictate text messages, emails or even longer documents like blog posts or notes. This app does require network connectivity (3G or Wi-Fi), and will work on second generation iPads and newer devices. The app is free and can be downloaded by clicking this link.

TextExpander If you use your iPad to reply to emails, or find yourself consistently typing the same message, TextExpander is a great shortcut app that allows you to configure readymade messages that can be inserted into your text.

The way this works is you configure text shortcuts e.g., Response1, may contain an often used standard response. When you type the shortcut in a text field, the app will recognize it and input the full text.

TextExpander is a great way to make replying to messages more consistent and efficient. You just have to take the time to set up your abbreviations/shortcuts and related text. The app costs USD$4.99 and can be downloaded from iTunes, or clicking on this link (which will take you to the App Store.)
