If you are looking to purchase your first mobile tablet, or you're in the market to buy a new one, you're in luck! In this episode, Ray, Augusto and Francis tackle some of the important questions you should ask yourself about what kind of mobile tablet you should own. As a quick overview, please take note of the following criteria you can use to make a decision: Operating System – Choose the operating system that matches your smartphone. If you don’t have a smartphone, compare Android, iOS and Windows operating systems against one another by the features you're most likely to use, not the marginal features. Choose the right tablet format factor for your productivity needs. App parity, or select based on the need of a specific app(s). Decide on a budget. Choose a few tablets based on operating system, form factor, app parity, and budget to test in your local electronics store. Now, go enjoy this cast! Give us feedback!

Let’s get ready to ruuuummmmmblllllle! We’re going to battle until the last spreadsheet software is standing! Okay, not really. But, isn't that an exciting way to start anything!? In this episode, we introduce our latest, regular podcast contributor, Art Gelwicks of The Idea Pump, to ProductivityCast. We’re excited to now have Francis and Art join us going forward and really increase the value of diverse productivity perspectives and knowledge. We each come at the world of personal productivity from different angles and backgrounds, and we believe that strengthens our ability on ProductivityCast to get to universal axioms as well as the deeper discussions of differences in personalities and workflows, from which you, our listeners, will benefit. So, let’s get on with the discussion about the pro’s and con’s of the most popular spreadsheet software--and their productive uses! Enjoy! Give us feedback!
