The tablet space is expanding its borders faster by the day, right on in to the workspace, notably because of the growing demand around their mobility, giving tablets a particularly bright outlook. Hardware however is only half of the story, with the second being the app industry. This is why we’ve complied this week’s top 5 tablet business apps , starting with the freshly launched GoPayment for the iPad.

iPad

GoPayment for iPad

Intuit’s app just hit general availability a few short hours ago, and comes with quite a handful of features. The app allows business owners to accept credit cards on the spot, benefit from an improved payment processing system, sync with the free Intuit Credit Card Reader, added product pictures and more all while using a high-resolution UI.

SignMyPad for iPad

SignMyPad has been dubbed as one of the handiest ones in the App Store by some reviewers, and that may just be true. The enables users to sign directly on PDFs using their iPad’s touch screen, rather than having to go through a much more time-consuming process.

PrintCentral for iPad

PrintCentral simplifies printing from one’s iPad, and according to its developer all printers. The app allows users to print remotely either via WiFi or 3G, as well as view, store and share a broad spectrum of file types.

Android
