For years the world speculated whether or not Apple Inc. was going to release a tablet computer. Rumors ran rampant if even Apple was developing a product like that or not. Then in April 2010, Apple shocked the world with the release of the revolutionary device. The Apple iPad introduces a brand new way of doing things on a tablet computer, instead of a traditional stylus, the iPad is completely controlled by a users finger. Comes with a beautiful large screen, and can even double as a e-book reader. The question is whether this product is worth the wait, or just another hyped up piece of technology people say we should buy? Let me tell you my friends, this is the real deal!
After being available for pre-order in early March 2010, the world was eagerly waiting to get their hands on the brand new device. During its opening weekend release, the Apple iPad sold over 700,000 units! Very impressive figures considering most people did not exactly know all the device could do. What makes the iPad revolutionary is the multi-touch interface it has built in. Everyone knows good and well how to use their hands and thats all the prior knowledge you will need in order to manipulate the device. Apple took the software platform they perfected touchscreen interface with from the iPhone, and up scaled it to the iPad. The tablet looks amazing with a very sleek and simple design. The screen takes up just about all of the front besides the Home button, and the back seems to be crafted well out of aluminum. The device weighs in at about 1.5lbs and does not feel cheap at all, a staple in Apple production, it feels durable, but at the same time light enough to carry at any angle. The screen though is the main focal point of the iPad coming in a beautiful 9.7 inch LED back lit IPS. The colors are vibrant and very pleasing to the eyes. Apple has toted this device as an E-book killer. Meaning once you read a book on the iPad, you will not want to do it any where else. And by all means its very true, you can adjust the brightness on the fly depending on your personal preference and the text shows up well on the big screen.
If you aren't familiar with "apps", these are the applications that Apple along with many other 3rd party developers create for Apple products. But why buy an ipad when you can get a free iPad? Right out of the box the iPad can run just about all of the 150,000 apps currently available for the iPhone and iPad Touch. Truly something for everyone. Along with many special apps developed just for the iPad, these apps are the REASON you will want to get your paws onto the iPad. From Google Maps to watching streaming movies from Netflix, this device seems to do almost everything your computer can do, all while in a portable shell that's a visual masterpiece. One cool App comes from Marvel Entertainment with their app that allows you to view eye-candy rich graphic novels and comics that almost play like a movie. The iPad might not be a laptop replacement for everyone, but if you are like most internet users out here who mostly surf the web, listen to music, catch up on news, and play games online, this is the device for you. The best entertainment experience you can have that is portable, trust me.
If you are in the market for a iPad, consider getting a free iPad. Free iPads are available now!.
