iPad released on April 3, 2010 and the iPad with 3G support will be released in late April this year. iPad is a tablet computer developed by Apple. In other words, iPad is like a larger version of iPod touch or iPhone. It uses iPhone OS with a multi-touch LCD screen. With 16GB of storage (even though in fact only 13-14GB is effective storage), an iPad has enough storage to store your images and videos. But to access your files on iPad you need iTunes or third-party software — you cannot access your files directly in the file system. An iPad is designed to access your email, web, online/offline videos, and images on mobile with wireless and 3G connectivity.
With the virtual on-screen keyboard you can type your email or text easily and more conveniently (not like the iPhone virtual on-screen keyboard), so you can reply to your email anywhere conveniently. The weight of the iPad is 680-730 g, less than 1 kg, so it is very light to bring anywhere in your small bag.
Another interesting feature is that iPad has the Kindle application. So you can download ebooks from Amazon and read them on iPad just like using a Kindle. But iPad doesn’t have a PDF viewer installed — you need to install third-party software from the iTunes Store and install it on iPad to read PDF format. Apple says that you can install iPhone apps on iPad, but you cannot do it the other way.
So does iPad fit for you?
