Tablets are great entertainment devices, but they arent always as useful for getting things done.

Heres how you could turn your tablet into a handy, productivity-boosting tool.

This week, were revisiting some ways to make that tablet more productive.

There is much more you could do.

Here are a few suggestions.

While you could look at a separate window on desktop, this eats up screen real estate.

If you use a different service, just get their app instead.

The Dropbox app itself is handy, but apps that support Dropbox natively can grab files a lot faster.

Skype(iOS/Android), or any VOIP utility, can essentially turn your tablet into a phone.

You also have the advantage of Wi-Fi, which is a bit more stable than a cellular connection.

Calls dont drop and the connection is always significantly more clear.

This will provide you with options to add the shortcut you want.

To solve that problem, just move on to step three.

Create a second row of commonly-used appsif you oughta.

You may not have that many apps to launch so dont worry if you dont.

Create a third row of bookmarks to sites you visit frequentlyfor quicker access.

If you have a lot, sort them with folders.
