English to Chinese translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - IT (Information Technology) / consumerization of IT
English term or phrase: those
The needs of today's users have evolved past traditional computers and PDAs. Users require more versatile devices such as ***those*** offered by application-ready tablets and smartphones, as well as the cloud-based services those devices are designed with in mind. These devices and the services they use overlap personal and business use.
用户需要用途更广泛的设备，比如随时可以运行众多应用程序的平板电脑和智能手机所提供的XX，

感觉这句话缺乏逻辑，感觉改成下面这个更合理：
Users require more versatile devices such as application-ready tablets and smartphones
按原文，难道是平板电脑和智能手机再提供另一种设备不成？

这个those似乎是services才对，但是那样的话，more versatile devices such as services显然讲不通。

Explanation:
我同意你的看发。原文不是很完美。这里those也可以指那个needs，也就是service and/or application, 我觉得你可以就翻成服务或应用程序

those指的是those devices。


Explanation:
可以成功能设计或工具。指tablet和smartphone里面能提供的各种工具或程序。

我的理解：是更方便用户随身携带这些设备里嵌入的比如 GPS功能， 上网， 视频聊天等等附加功能
