A number of players in the tech industry largely focus on the hardware aspect of the devices they create, providing their offerings with the latest and greatest specs and technologies. Some, however, have a different strategy.
Some have already figured out that today, the battle in the big league is no longer about who has the best specs. It’s about coming up with the most seamless and most efficient digital ecosystem—a solid bionetwork that gives them access to an integrated bundle of services that deliver multimedia access, desktop integration, cloud services, and a whole lot more.
This ecosystem is at the core of what we call the “Smart Life”.
This September, our big story puts the digital ecosystems of the three biggest players—Apple, Google, and Microsoft—under the microscope and talk about their strengths and weaknesses. Since the digital ecosystem entails giving these platforms some of your personal info, this issue also offers some tips on how to keep your data safe away from the hands of nasty cyber-thieves. On top of that, we’re also giving you a handy list of file-syncing services and tips on how to find a lost phone using your computer with the help of a few easy-to-install apps.
