Everything Apple is causing a storm in the tech world, but if you are just an Average Joe (or Jane), you can know what all the hubbub over is about. What is the Apple Ipad (and do you want a)? Let's take a quick look.
What is the iPad?
IPad is mainly a portable entertainment system. You can watch movies, read ebooks and news stories, play games, listen to music and send e-mail (wireless connection required). It is sort of a souped up version of the iPod Touch, except with a significantly larger screen. With the full color 9 .7-inch screen is equivalent to the size of the Amazon Kindle DX (one of the biggest-screened ebook readers currently on the market). IPad weighs 1.5 pounds and according to Apple, has 10 hours of battery life (computer manufacturers have a tendency to mobility of these things, but certainly you'll have enough to get through a couple of movies before needing to recharge).
IPad can run most of the App Store apps, and its interface is similar to the iPhone, so it will be an easy tool to use, if you already have some knowledge of Apple's latest products (and even if you do not the touch-based user interface is intuitive).
While the iPad should not be a replacement for your laptop computer, it has an iWork application suite app, (which includes Keynote for presentations, numbers for spreadsheets, and pages to the word processor), you can download. This will allow you to perform some basic computer work on it with the iPhone., an on-screen keyboard appears, if you need to type in the text. With the larger screen size should "keys" a little easier to use than on the iPhone. IWork app costs $ 10 and will be available in the iTunes App Store.
What can not iPad?
The only thing iPad is not a mobile phone. You cannot make calls on it, and you must have a local wifi signal in order to gain access to the Apple store (to download more ebooks, movies, music, games, etc.).
How much costs the iPad?
The original iPad costing $ 499. According to Apple, there will be an upgraded 3 G-enabled iPad (meaning you will be able to gain access to the Internet in the same way, a mobile phone with a Web browser is) in a few months. This version will reportedly cost $ 629 and run $ 29.99 month for 3 G access (unlike with the iPhone, there cannot be a monthly service contract, you must digitally sign).
Now that you know the iPad, you must decide whether it is the right all-in-one entertainment gadget for you!
