One of the myths about the iPad 4 and other Apple devices is that they don't give users enough flexibility in deciding which apps they can use and how they might manipulate and customize their iOS experience. This is simply not the case. One of the great advantages of the App Store is that it grants the users thousands of choices of programs that can make both business and personal life easier and more fun.

Perhaps nowhere else is the demonstrated better than in Apple's selection of browsers, which are offered in the App Store as alternatives to the Safari web browser that comes with every iPhone and iPad. The following is a short list of some of the more notable examples of the kinds of choices customers can make with their devices.

• 360 Web Surfer - This browser, developed by Digital Poke, has a unique searching interface that resembles the control bar on a music program like iTunes and lets you navigate through tabs. It also features a media player built directly into the browser, so you can access your music collection without leaving the program.

• Google Chrome - Google's desktop browser has been stealing market share from Internet Explorer and Firefox for years, and now the search engine giant has developed a version of Chrome for iOS devices. If you use Chrome on your home or business computer, the mobile phone version will sync your tabs and book marks instantly, so that you can seamlessly migrate from one devices to another.

• Opera - The desktop version of this browser has a small but enthusiastic following, and now anyone who wants the open-source experience on their iPad can download this app for free. Among its numerous advantages is the ability to quickly share items on social networks like Facebook and Twitter.

With all of this in mind, we encourage you to ignore the naysayers and visit the PortableOne store to find out more about how an Apple iPad 4 or iPad mini can give you more freedom at work and at home.
