What’s Different?

• Instant on – no waiting for boot-up• Long battery life• Packs a lot in a small package – Internet, cameras,

document storage, content creation, games, …• Apps, apps and more apps – many free, for so many

different tasks.• “Walled Garden” – you can’t “see” your files like you

can on a hard drive. Everything is controlled by individual apps and passed between them, to the cloud, or emailed out.
