Apple iPad: Life at Your Fingertips
iPad
The iPad is the newest brainchild of the crew at Apple. The creators of the iPod and iPhone have now brought the world a new way to experience the web, use email to share photos and videos, and be productive on the go. Apple’s touchscreen technology has been taken to a new level with the iPad, which like the iPod and iPhone operates completely via the touchscreen, having no external keyboards or buttons. Apple’s multi-touch technology allows users to move between screens with the flick of a finger and zoom in and out with a pinch of their fingers. The iPad is like an iPhone on steroids with a 9.7 inch (diagonal) LED backlit screen and 16GB, 32GB, or 64GB hard drives. The Apple iPad retails for $499, a small price to pay to have the world at your fingertips while on the go.
The iPad, though not a cell phone, could be the most versatile mobile productivity device available. The basic iPad comes with WiFi connectivity while another model has WiFi and 3G connectivity. The iPad allows users to surf the web with a flick of their finger and view web pages as they were meant to be seen, one page at a time. With bright colors and sharp text the iPad displays web pages crisply whether in portrait or landscape orientation. The iPad doesn’t just deliver the web to users’ fingertips; it provides almost unmatched video, picture, email, and music capabilities. In addition to a large LED screen, the iPad brings mobile productivity to users with an unparalleled 10 hour battery life. There will also be an army of iPad accessories available for purchase such as iPad bags and cases, just like the iPhone and iPod.
Most importantly, the Apple iPad has access to Apple’s app store allowing users to download new apps or sync their iPad to their Mac or PC to access previously downloaded apps. The iPad can access over 140,000 apps already and Apple developers are working to create even more apps designed specifically for this amazing device. Through the app store users can download and use iPod, iTunes, and iBooks on their iPad. Now users can read and buy books via iBooks or browse movies, music, and TV shows via iPod and iTunes. The iPad also reinvents the use of iWork. Mac users familiar with Keynote, Pages, and Numbers will find their favorite productivity apps reinvented specifically for the iPad. By downloading iWork ’09 users can download and view Microsoft Office documents and files in PDF format.
