The first company to step into the next generation, Apple took their
original idea and evolved it into something unbelievable.
Why is Apple the first thought that enters your mind for top-of-the-line
electronics? With an app store including
over 500,000 different varieties of applications, it’s able to make your business
life, educational life and personal life so much easier especially with trying
to keep up with daily life.
"There's an app for that," is now a phrase that everybody is
familiar.
Business owners are now using them keep things simple for them and their
employees. A new restaurant in Southern
Utah is the first in its small community to have Apple's products center around
their entire point-of-sales system. The
serving staff can clock in, take orders and cash out the tables in the palm of
their hand with the latest iTouch. The
system itself is ran from an iPad using as its hub, which is also the screen
for the cash register. A little wary at first thinking employees we’re texting
on the job, it's the new technology of today; the customers are getting a kick
out of it.
For those wanting to learn something, recently iTunes has launched
iTunesU featuring courses in just about every subject you can think of with no
price tag attached. With classes from
Harvard, Yale and a wide variety of other schools to choose from, this option
gives anybody an opportunity to learn something new. Of course, taking these classes does not end
with a diploma, but the chance to broaden your mind, will simply blow you away.
Apple has built up quite a name for themselves since first releasing the
original iPod in 2000 holding 1,000 songs. Their products rumors spread like
wildfire until it’s officially announced with news reporters standing outside
their headquarters in Cupertino, California, and the first vision of it
during a live press conference. Hopeful
to get their hands on the first shipment, Apples’ followers will stand in line
for hours or even days with a smile on their face.
With electronics quickly falling out of date within months of its
purchase, this unfortunately is a problem for even Apple's products. Technology is quickly catching up to itself
as they have released 3 iPads since 2010.
There's always something better on the horizon with electronics these
days. Now with Android devices and its
quickly growing Android Market creeping up behind and giving Apple a run for
its money, what will be their next electronic masterpiece to maintain its
number one spot?
