What comes in our mind when we see iPad first? A notebook? Or an E-Book reader? Or just a magnified ipod? Well, the answer to these are both yes and no.

Eventhough it is not a notebook or laptop, iPad has got several features that we do with notebook like internet browsing, movies, music, document creation, etc. It is an ipod itself, but more than that. It is also an efficient E-Book reader which will compete with leading E-Book readers in the market. Let's go into the details.

 

 

Apple iPad is a 9.7 inch touchscreen tablet computer with attractive design like all other apple products. Apple iPad is another wonderful product from the Apple family that became very much popular that, its sales already passed million mark. In a simple definition; it is a bigger iphone. But, that would be an understatement, considering the extra features that Apple has included in iPad.

If you have got an iPhone, you will feel like you already know this. There is no any difference in the user interface and navigation between iPhone and iPad since both uses the same OS, a derivation of OS X for mobile devices. For those who are new to Apple's products should also feel comfortable after using

iPad for a little while because of its simple interface. However, one drawback I should point out is the lack of multitasking capability in its full might. Eventhough, they allow a handful of their native apps to run in the background, you can't run any other two applications on the same time.

Mobile Safari is a good application included in iPad for internet browsing. It can be called elegant because of its simplicity and style. The only drawback is the lack of support for flash, which causes the breaking of pages that use flash in their pages.

iBooks is another application for reading e-books which gives you a real feeling of reading book. Even the interface is very simple. You would love this feature.

Calendar/Contacts and Mail applications are utilizing the features of the Os that, you will get a good view and navigation. Split screen gives a more clear display.

Using iPad as video player, iPod and Youtube video viewer is a good option. Apple also has given it more importance I think, because of its style and simplicity.

The iWork suite is an application to create documents and other work files. It is the most usefule feature in iPad in my opinion. Now, the business men, and office going people have got a good reason to buy an iPad.

Another good news is that, you don't have to forget your favourite iPhone applications for using iPad. Most of the iPhone applications are compatible in iPad also. It can come in two views. One, bigger but, in a dimnished effect and the other with the same size as that of iPhone without quality loss. You can purchase more apps from the appstore and books or music from the iBookstore and iTunes.

Finally, about the battery life. Apple iPad has got a tremendous battery that it can give backup for more than 10 hours!!!

Eventhough it can't be considered as a handy equipment for getting much work done, iPad can be a good choice for a person who want an easy, simple and faster computing experience.
