The tablet is often thought of as strictly a media consumption device—an easy way to browse, watch, or read. There are plenty of apps that aggregate information, connect users with content, and make sharing files over multiple platforms easy.
However, the secret weapon of the tablet user is content creation. Whether it’s putting together a presentation, updating a personal or business blog, jotting down notes, or writing an article, tablet users are increasingly getting off the sidelines and into the game with apps designed to engage and create, not just consume.

By the end of next year, the Philharmonic hopes to complete the first phase of its Digital Archive project which will make over 1.3 million pages of material from The International Era, 1943 to 1970, available online to anyone with access to a browser. Using Alfresco as the content platform for the project, the repository will hold 10 million [click to continue…]
