Apple iPad will dominate the market by 2016
The Telegraph, inspired by the studies undertaken at Gartner, announced the supremacy of Apple by 2014. That was in September 2011. On the 10th of April 2012, however, the technology research company Gartner has made a new announce according to which the market will be dominated by the giants from Apple by 2016. A two years delay, but the outcome is the same: the iPad will be the leading tablet of the world for years to come.
And because more and more people are buying the catchy gadget, it is time for business owners to switch online and make use of our latest iPhone Application.
Why Apple's iPad?
The tablet is very similar to smartphones and its popularity is due to the fact that it provides numerous advantages to users, among which the main plus is represented by the fact that it allows wireless internet access. Users can connect to the internet from wherever and whenever they wish and they can navigate freely on every site of their choice. The main attribute of a tablet is that it is a computer in miniature: it provides the same advantages of a laptop or a PC, but comes in a smaller, thinner and slimmer shape.
Although the competition is struggling to differentiate itself from the traditional iPad, the results are not meeting the customers' expectations. The battle between the iPad and the rest of the tablets is taken on the level of price, environmentally-friendly features and practicality, but so far users seem to prefer the first to the latter. Technicians from Apple are doing their best to improve their iPads in ways that until recently were thought impossible. The sales of this impressive gadget are expected to have a 98% increase in 2012 as compared to 2011.
Who's to gain from this "technological war"?
First of all, users. Secondly, business owners, particularly those specializing in taking online orders. For example, fast food or restaurant owners. Thanks to our latest iPhone Application, every fast food can give their customers a chance to online ordering. And because now technology allows it, customers can place their orders not only directly from their smartphones, but also from their tablets, be it the iPhone or any other brand. Because, since it works on smartphones, it will have no problem in working on iPads.
The pleasure of online ordering
It has been noticed since a while now that people prefer more and more to order online whenever they have the chance, instead of giving a phone call for the same order. It seems that the internet has made us more efficient - we like more to fill in a chart with the dish we want to eat rather than spending minutes trying to explain that we want our pizza without pepperoni and with double portion of mushrooms.
Thirdly...
The thing is, having the opportunity to order online is a real pleasure: it is faster, clearer and offers extra possibilities to both sides. For example, the customer places his online order and can estimate the time it takes for his food to be delivered. This thanks to the Online Order Tracking feature of our software. What is more, should the visitor experience any trouble with the site, he can always access the Live Support button which will put him in contact with one of our team members, who will help elucidate the technical issues in the shortest time possible. On the other side, the company's staff spends less time talking on the phone and more time doing practical work.
Secondly...
The second best thing about online ordering is that it allows clients to pay directly on the site for their orders. This means that drivers will no longer have to deal with the problem of money and customers won't have to worry anymore about not having enough cash. Our online ordering software enables them to pay using their credit cards (both Visa and MasterCard) or by accessing their PayPal account - which is a novelty.
Firstly...
And the winning argument - our brand new iPhone Application, which makes pizza ordering a real pleasure! Now customers no longer need a computer and a connection to the Internet in order to place their online orders. They can order and pay with their credit cards directly from their smartphones. By downloading our iPhone application, they have instant access to your site and everything that's on it!
Rivalry between manufacturers leads to queues for new smartphones
Samsung boasts with over 22 million smartphones sold in 2011, which means that iPhone faces serious competition from manufacturers. And there's more to this fierce contest for the first place. Samsung may be the world's biggest seller of smartphones in 2011, but this doesn't mean that companies such as Nokia, Motorola, Blackberry and even the Chinese Huawei are not gaining ground.
And then, from offices where blue collars devise the new look on smartphones, the fight goes in the street. Not literally. Actually, in shops and supermarkets this fight comes under the form of endless queues - an iPhone fan spent not less than 30 hours in front of a shop in order to be sure that he will get to buy the latest iPhone!
This rivalry between manufacturers can only mean one thing: better phones, improved features, more options, unique design, user-friendly interface. So judging from these facts, it is explainable why people love them so much and why 449 million people became smartphone users (RBC report).
It is an impressive number, but the facts speak for themselves. And it is important to keep in mind that users are not the only ones who can profit from the numerous features of smartphones. For example, if you own a pizzeria or a fast food, you can also take advantage of this new technology. We devised a brand new iPhone application that your customers can download directly to their phones. It allows your clients to directly access your online ordering website and to place their orders directly from their phones.
What is more, the app enables them to visit your online ordering site, see the menu and prices and decide upon what they would like to buy. They can place their orders and even pay for them using their credit cards or PayPal account.

But there is more coming. The restless manufacturers are engaged in a fierce competition over supremacy, so they are continuously brainstorming for new and unique features.

UK’s economy is based on the internet
The internet is responsible for 8.3% of UK's economy and numbers are expected to grow and even double in the following years. People work, buy, and sell on the online environment and often prefer it to other methods. Why? Because the internet is simple, fast and offers reliable services.
However, among drawbacks is worthy of being mentioned the fact that on a purchase, buyers cannot "meet" the product, feel and touch it. At least, not until the sale is made and the package is delivered. But even so, more than 76% of British people confessed that they would take into consideration giving up chocolate, alcohol or other small vices in favour of internet.
This is something that makes you think. With the great, even huge success of internet, it would be foolish not to consider switching online. As the fast food industry is growing, you need to find ways of staying on top, you need to be creative and inventive.
By having your own online ordering website you make your business available to a wider range of customers. With the help of our modern bespoke pizzeria and fast food software you can take orders online and allow customers to pay directly from their computers or smartphones.
