Is the Apple iPad as Amazing as Early Reviews Claim?
The Apple Ipad has been unveiled to thrilled technology reporters throughout the country, but the more astute observer may wonder the actual abilities of the device are, because the first Ipads have not been on the market and yet there are still tons of add-ons available like keyboards and covers for the iPad.
At first glance, the device seems to be an Apple’s answer to the tablet PC, although this seems unlikely as Apple has had its own tablet computers on the market for years. Calling it a much larger Ipod touch is not an accurate description of the device. Of the two descriptions given above, the first one listed is more accurate than the second.
The Apple Ipad seems to be a combination of multiple devices and it runs the same operating system that the Iphone uses. The Apple Ipad has one advantage over similar devices. The 16 gigabyte solid state hard drive enables the device to survive drops more easily than a device with a hard drive. You will also be able to play games on the Ipad that were previously only available to the Ipod touch.
The hype over the device seems confusing. Few people seem to be sure of the exact nature of the device, although it will be able to do everything that the Ipod touch and the Amazon Kindle can. It will also be able to run more useful software. It works as a PDA, an MP3 player, a drawing tablet and a user can use it to connect to the Internet.
The iPad may not be as impressive as some of the early reviews from Apple fans before the release would have had us believe. With that said it will certainly turn out to be thought of as an innovative and useful device, even if it is really just several devices in one. It will still make a good gift for the artist who likes to have a portable electronic drawing platform who is prone to dropping his electronics. Especially if you match it up with one of the many funky Ipad carrying cases that are sure to appear for sale.
