It’s almost 2015 - shouldn’t this new feature be old hat? In a way it is Skype and Google Voice users have been yapping away for years on Macs. It’s a fantastically fluid feature that works with an array of apps, from productivity software like Numbers and Pages to personal apps like Reminders and Contacts. With OS X Yosemite and iOS 8 installed, you’ll find a Safari icon at the bottom left of your iPad’s lock screen, ready to be swiped and take you to the same baseball story in Safari on the tablet. For example, imagine reading about the World Series in Safari on a Mac Mini, and then turning to check the weather with an iPad. Yosemite’s new Handoff feature gets these multiple devices thinking like one intuitive supercomputer.
As fun as it is to say phablets are killing tablets or tablets are killing laptops, the reality is that most computer users are carrying around more than one machine.
