Mobile apps
Desktop and laptop computers aren't the only devices that can run apps. You can also download apps for mobile devices like smartphones and tablets, which opens up many new possibilities. Here are a few examples of mobile apps:
- Flipboard: Flipboard allows you to create a personal news feed by choosing topics, authors, and publications you like. The app will keep track of what you like and deliver content that interests you. You can even create your own online magazine for other Flipboard users to read.
- Wolfram|Alpha: Wolfram|Alpha is basically a giant searchable encyclopedia for any kind of science, language, or math question you might have. You can access Wolfram|Alpha on the Web or download the app for your mobile device, and the company makes specific reference apps for different subjects as well. But the basic Wolfram|Alpha app will give you access to data on the greatest number of subjects from your tablet or phone.
- TuneIn Radio: TuneIn Radio allows you to stream talk radio, music, and podcastsfrom around the world. It can be downloaded on your computer as well as to your phone or tablet, so you can listen to whatever interests you anywhere you have Internet access.
Compared with traditional applications, mobile apps are relatively inexpensive. Some of them cost as little as$0.99 and others are free, although they may require you to make in-app purchases to access some functions. If your mobile device has an Internet connection, you can download apps directly onto it. Otherwise, you can sometimes download them to your computer and then transfer them over.
