I came across a nice article by Jonathan Blum of thestreet.com. He rues the fact that in spite of all the hype around the Microsoft-Skype deal, it offers nothing to users of tablets who are looking for easier ways to manage work on their iPads or other tablets. Tablets are a great computing device where they have none of the size restrictions of smart phones, nor the portability restrictions of desktops. That explains why they are all the rage. And yet - neither Skype, nor Microsoft collaboration products have a dedicated tablet app. Jonathan then goes on to list 3 great mobile collaboration applications. 1) WebEx - It has a slick and effective tablet app for web and audio conferencing. 2) FuzeMeeting - Second only to WebEx (according to Jonathan), FuzeMeeting is a lot cheaper, and a more suitable choice price sensitive customers. 3) GoToMeeting - Best kept away from, unless you're desperate (Jonathan again). But hey, at least they have an iPad app! I couldn't help but notice that the solutions that Jonathan has listed are more web conferencing application as opposed to "collaboration software" per se. A mobile collaboration solution would also include document collaboration, shared workspaces, discussions et al. Anybody know of a good tablet collaboration app?Â
