iPad

In April 2010, Apple released the revolutionary iPad. It has a 25-cm (9.7- inch) touch screen LCD, with fingerprint resistant and scratch-resistant glass. It connects to the web via Wi-Fi and 3G. One unique feature of this devise is that you have an option to view the whole pages to portrait and landscape, and whenever you rotate the iPad to the latter, the page you’re viewing rotates too. This gives you a unique way to see your email. Holding it in landscape allows you to see the messages on your inbox, with one opened email showing a two-line preview of its contents. If you’d like to focus on one email on the other hand, turn your iPad to portrait. A keyboard similar to your regular computer appears on the screen when you compose a message. You can search the web by flicking your finger up and down the screen. iPad is ideal for surfing the web, watching videos , and reading e-books. It is slick and easier to carry compared to your laptops.


What would this new technology replace? It’ll not replace your iPhone because it’s not a phone and it won’t fit in your pocket. It will not replace your computer either because of its limited features. It does not have a USB port, Adobe flash support, & multi-tasking OS. iPad can’t hold as many photos, movies, and songs compared to most laptops. It brought me to conclusion that buying an iPad is just being trendy. I don’t think that someone needs an iPad when he already has a computer and a phone.
