subject: Why Is The Apple Ipad So Wanted? [print this page] Have you seen the Apple iPad in real life and not just on video? The videos really do not do it justice? Has one of your friends got one? Does it make you feel like you're missing out on something? Well, it's not just anything, it's the hottest gadget of 2010. The iPad is not just for work but also for fun as it is a portable entertainment device. You can watch a movie on the way to work and if you get an important email, you can simply pause to reply.
The Safari web browser is a great application on the iPad. The time it takes to load web pages is minimal compared to other browsers and it truely is an enjoyable experience. The brightness and sharpness of the 9.7 inch display adds to the experience. With a pinch to zoom feature, if the text is slightly too small it is easy to compensate for it.
The Safari browser helps make the most of the 802.11n WiFi connectivity. It allows you to browse at high speed if you are in a public WiFi zone. If you aren't then don't worry as your iPad will automatically switch to the slower but more reliable 3G network.
Built into the iPad is the Google search engine. Once you've found the web page you were searching for you can bookmark this page as a shortcut on your iPad's homescreen. The iPad will keep a history of the websites you've searched for, ensuring that you'll always be able to find your favourite sites at the touch of a finger.
The App Store can be accessed straight from your iPad. You can look on the store and see which applications are available. There's a search bar so you can quickly find what you are looking for. They also provide a list of the top downloaded applications which serves as a useful indication as which are the best applications. As well as these 'useful' applications, games can be downloaded to be played at will.
With a built-in compass you'll never get lost! An accelerometer allows the device to respond to tilting and rotating. If you want to view a webpage in landscape mode instead of portrait, you can simply rotate the device. The battery will last up to ten hours which is certainly a long car journey.
The iPad doesn't need any kind of fancy advertisement to get you to buy. The name says it all and that fact that it's from Apple means that it's the perfect the device. It will always keep you busy and will always be useful.
