The Apple iPad works on the same lines as the iPhone, but contains a host of new features as well. Even though the same operating system is used by the iPhone and the iPad, it does not mean that it is exactly similar to the iPhone. The Apple iPad contains support for all the applications that can be deployed in the Apple iPod touch and the Apple iPhone, but a lot of new Apple applications are also supported in the Apple iPad, such as e book readers etc. The Apple iPad sports a brilliant 10.1 inch liquid clear display screen which is finger print resistant and scratch resistant to provide maximum safety and reduce the chances of damage. The Apple iPad was released on the 3^rd of April 2010 and since its release has become a runaway hit. In just over a month of its release, the Apple iPad has managed to generate sales of over 1 million of their units. The device was officially unveiled by the chief executive officer of Apple, Steve Jobs, at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco. However, all the anticipation and the wait that people had to endure for its release was well justified with the host of options that this device contains.

The Apple iPad also has two integrated speakers providing good quality sound through the sealed channels, but as it also has the option of using your Apple iPad as an iPod, many avid iPad users can just plug in their earphones and start listening to their favorite music whenever they wish to. The powerful lithium ion polymer battery provides a lot of battery life so you don’t need to keep rushing back to charge your Apple iPad frequently. Overall, it is a very powerful device produced by Apple. . The brilliant graphical display is highlighted while playing the games that are supported with this device. Even though it is actually designed to be used as a tablet computer, the Apple iPad features a SIM tray which can be used to provide mobile connectivity for traveling individuals. However, the 10.1 inch LCD screen does not really allow the Apple iPad to be a fit for the pocket. You can run all your iPod touch or iPhone applications on the Apple iPad, as the OS used is the same by both devices. Moreover, you can also download and install new applications, such as e book readers etc.

Connectivity options in the Apple iPad are abundant, as it provides an option for connecting to a Bluetooth device, an option for connecting to the internet via the Wi Fi system, a WAP or GPRS option and normal computer connectivity. You can also use your Apple iPad as a GPS navigator as it provides support for certain GPS applications such as Google Maps. Overall, the Apple iPad is an extremely well designed tablet computer which provides the best of touch connectivity and takes touch screen devices to a new level altogether with its new integrated systems.
