Apple iPad: The Most Astounding Tablet Computer Ever Released by:Rubu Thomson

The Apple iPad is one of the most awaited gadgets of this century

. Ever since the January announcement, thousands of people are eagerly awaiting its official release here in UK. Apple iPad release date has been fixed as May 28th, 2010 in many countries including UK. The pre-ordering has already begun and it is expected that the iPad would perform just as brilliantly as in the US.

Apple iPad being a new breed of device, can be seen as a tablet computer, but is more powerful and feature-rich than that. If the surveys are believed, in the US region the sales for the Apple iPad had reached one million within a month.

The Apple iPad comes with two variants - with Wi-Fi alone, and with Wi-Fi and 3G. The Apple iPad price is as yet unknown but reports suggest they may come at about 350 or so. There are plenty of Apple iPad features which are sure to take away the breath of the user. The multi-touch is one of the most wonderful facilities, to begin with. The display is LCD coupled with a XGA output. A scratch-resistant glossy cover protects the screen which has a resolution of 1024x768px (at 4:3 ratio). The Apple iPad is powered by a 1GHz A4 PoP SoC processor. It runs on a modified and advanced version of the operating system found on the iPhone - iPhone OS 3.2. A huge list of applications comes built in because of this feature. There are software applications like Safari, YouTube, iPod, iTunes, iBooks, App Store, Maps, Calendar, Notes, Contacts and the Spotlight Search.

The Apple iPad Tablet(http://www.fones.com/mobile-phones/apple/apple-ipad-tablet.html) comes with a 16, 32 or 64 GB flash drive for storage. A micro-SIM slot is provided. The iPad can be connected to the computer and can sync with iTunes on Mac or PC. There is a built-in Bluetooth functionality, because of which one can use wireless headphones and keyboards with the iPad. A normal 3.5 mm audio jack provides stereo sound for headphones.

The battery is supposed to provide the best performance. It can provide 10 hours of video, 140 hours of audio or can remain on continuous standby for about a month.The battery however is irreplaceable but can be charged with regular USB cables connected to a computer. However, a special 10 W power adapter is provided for quicker recharging because the iPad uses high-current (of the order of 2 amperes) to recharge the battery. An interesting thing with the Apple iPad is that one can easily make calls through VoIP using a Bluetooth headset and the Wi-Fi/3G feature.

There is an accelerometer, ambient light sensor and magnetometer for the digital compass. According to certain Apple iPad review, these are slightly modified versions of the one found on the iPhone. The Wi-Fi variant weighs in at about 680 g while the 3G variant weights at 730 g. The 3G variant of the Apple iPad is sold unlocked and can thus be used with any compatible GSM carrier.
