We've all been waiting for the release of Apple's new tablet, the
Apple iPad. Apple has always done things differently when it comes computing, whether it be with the MacBook, the iMac, the iPod and even the iPhone. And whenever they do launch something in the market it is surely a huge success. After a lot of waiting, consumers can now experience the
iPad by Apple and enjoy the features that come with it. But is the
iPad as good as the previous gadgets launched by Apple and is it worth buying? Let us see what it has to offer and what makes it different from the rest.
When Apple designed the iPad, they definitely did think about making it better than its previous products and their competitions' as well. They wanted to make something which was more user friendly that the iPhone. So why is the iPad better than the iPhone? First, it has a larger screen. The iPhone lets you do a lot of things but looking at the screen for long periods of time can be quite irritating. This is why Apple gave the iPad a larger screen so that you can get a more powerful computing experience. This is great for people who mobile compute a lot and do not like to strain their eyes for a long time.
The iPad not only includes a larger screen, but has controls which are easier to handle. Using iBooks becomes a lot easier and thanks to the larger screen, more comfortable. The operating system of the iPad is different from the usual operating system of the Mac computers. The iPad was made to be better than both, the iPhone and the iPod, and can play all the applications which are on the iPhone. An application suite like iWork is not as effective on the iPhone as it is on the iPad. This is why the iPad saw more than a thousand applications within the first week of it's launch.
The way the iPad is designed in such a way that the front LCD screen which is 9.7" completely dominates the front of it. The LED light display has a pretty black border all around the screen. However, the borders do take up some space and the iPad would have been better if Apple just did not include it. The volume and silence buttons have been moved from the left side to the right and the back has a big Apple logo placed in the middle of the shiny aluminum plate, similar to the one on the iPhone. The width of the iPad is 7.47 inches and its height is 9.6 inches and it's just as thick as the iPhone.
The software used in the iPad is pretty much the same as in the iPhone, the usually slide to unlock and all the icons the same as the iPhone. However, the apps in the iPad have been slightly modified. Also there will be new apps made for the iPad later on. Apple could have done a better job with the software and not made it so similar to the iPhone. Although you get the experience of a laptop with the iPad and it is a great device and also comes with a number of iPad accessories such as the iPad Bags and iPad cases. Getting the iPad accessories will help you make full use of the device.
