Cloud computing offers small and medium businesses opportunities to reduce costs, increase flexibility and scalability of their IT infrastructure. However, SMBs must consider security, reliability of service and control over customization when adopting cloud solutions. Tablets are becoming a popular mobile device for both personal and business use due to their lightweight portability and long battery life compared to netbooks or notebooks. While tablets excel for media consumption, netbooks and notebooks are still better suited for productivity tasks requiring physical keyboards and multi-tasking capabilities. Mobile devices are increasingly being used for learning and many educational apps exist to create, deliver and assess content on smartphones and tablets.
