The long wait is finally over. After 8 years of rumors and speculations, Apple has finally opened the floodgates and announced the arrival of the Apple iPad.
Just how good is the Apple iPad, anyway?
Was the patient wait in vain, or are we being treated to yet another innovative product from the great Apple?
Most people would think that it’s a giant iPhone or iPod Touch, and they’re not wrong either. The design is almost identical except for the fact that it’s, well… BIGGER?
Other than the design, the look and feel of the operating system would be strangely familiar for iPhone and iPod owners. This is no surprise especially since the iPad is actually running on iPhone OS 3.2. Yup, that’s right. This doesn’t just look like a giant iPhone, it even runs on the same system!
That means anything you can run on your iPhone and iPod, you can run it here. Unfortunately, that also means no multitasking and no Flash capabilities. This is really a letdown, seeing it’s running on a 1GHz Apple A4 custom processor.
Everything runs incredibly fast due to the powerful yet underutilized processor on its gorgeous 1024 x 768 pixel resolution on a 9.7 inch screen. As expected of Apple, they made good use of their touch technology, although the virtual keyboard could have been made much more responsive.
The iPad will come in 16GB, 32GB and 64GB flash drives. It’s estimated to have a 10 hour battery life when used to surf the net, play music and watch videos. This is truly very impressive and perfect for those always on the go and do not have the luxury of having a place to plug in their charger wherever they go.
One very interesting implementation on the iPad is its ebook reader. This is possibly the closest thing you will get to reading a book without actually having the book in your hands. The combination of touch screen and page flipping animations makes reading an ebook on the iPad a unique experience not found elsewhere.
With the inclusion of the iBookstore, you will be sure to find plenty of ebooks to download and enjoy.
There has been an increase in the demand for portable ebook readers that allows you to carry it around and reading it like you would a normal book. Amazon had come up with their Kindle reader with moderate success. But Apple looks to dominate this market with their iPad and iBookstore. Unlike Amazon, Apple looks towards giving their users the experience – a common theme in all their products which have given them an extremely high level of success.
The iPad is set to be sold at $499-$699 and its 3G capable unit starting at $629-$829. The higher end 3G model is rather pricy, considering that a much more powerful Macbook costs $999.
So the ultimate question comes down to this: is it worth getting an iPad?
It’s a rather tough question to answer, but if you’re always on the move and wish you had a bigger iPhone with you, then definitely get the iPad when it finally gets shipped to stores in March.

Considerable post! this will definitely help me.
Distinguished post! this will certainly assist me.
waiting for a future generation to arrive. The potential is actually there for this device, but based on my current folder of tech devices (laptop, desktop, iphone, itouch) i’m not confident this device quite justifies the price at this time for me.

Took me time to learn every of the feedback, but i really loved the article. It proved to be extremely beneficial to me and i’m certain to all of the commenters here! it’s all the time best when you can not solely be informed, but additionally entertained! i’m sure you had enjoyable penning this article.
Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.
The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.
I am glad to be a visitor of this perfect web site! , regards for this rare info ! .
Thanks for a info…this blog has never let me down..and by a way, i adore your theme. Catch your subsequent post..Bye.

I dont get how other people think this isn’t an issue worthy to discuss. It had me thinking.
Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.

Posted by us, 07.04.2010 12:54:08 While this subject will likely be very touchy for many americans, my opinion is that there needs to be a middle or general ground that we all can find. I do appreciate that youve added relevant and clever commentary right here although. Thanks!
But a smiling visitor here to share the love (:, btw great layout. “Forget regret, or life is yours to miss.” by Jonathan Larson.
Surprisingly! It’s like you understand my mind! You seem to know a lot about this, like you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you could do with some pics to drive the content home a bit, besides that, this is outstanding blog. A great read. I will certainly revisit again.
Hey! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any trouble with hackers? My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing many months of hard work due to no backup. Do you have any solutions to prevent hackers?
Have you ever considered creating an ebook or guest authoring on other blogs? I have a blog centered on the same ideas you discuss and would really like to have you share some stories/information. I know my audience would value your work. If you are even remotely interested, feel free to shoot me an e mail.
That’s not what the owners manual says, the owners manual (Getting started with your Criz Tablet t103, t104, t105 page 3) clearly says that the hole between the usb and the headphone jack is the microphone. As all the current advertisements by Velocity for the t100 series says that it has a microphone. So ether it has a microphone at which point your tech department needs to come up with a patch to make it work. Or it does not, and we have a clear case of false advertisment, at which point this may become a legal issue. I have my fimgers crossed in hopes that it is a software issue.
