subject: Apps For Apple Ipad [print this page] Without a doubt Apple's new iPad is the hottest gadget released in 2010. iPad is an absolutely novel device-not one of those smart phones which are perennial bestselling gadgets, and not quite a laptop computer either. SO what is it? It's a tablet device that does not come with a physical keyboard, but with a touchpad. It is primarily used to browse the internet, send and receive e-mails and view mutimedia. Its large touchscreen makes it ideal for browsing through webpages, as well as for watching movies, viewing pictures, and reading ebooks. And that's not all! It is also a portable music player similar to an oversized iPod with lots of additional features.
The most common downloads for iPad are apps, games, music and ebooks. Without a doubt, iPad is hot and so are iPad downloads. The number of iPad downloads including iPad apps has skyrocketed since its release and is still growing.
Apps are applications or programs that run on the iPad. Many iPad apps also run on other Apple devices like the iPhone and iPod Touch. Apps vary greatly in nature and function. They include ebook readers, multimedia players, games, productivity and calendar tools, office tools, educational software, and more. There are hundreds of thousands of iPad apps, and more are being created each day. Most apps that work on the iPhone can be imported into the iPad, retained in the original display size or expanded to fill out the larger iPad screen.
As expected, among the top downloads for iPad are iPad games. There are iPad games for users of different ages, interests, and levels. Among the most popular games are Scrabble, Real Racing 2010, F1 2010, Labyrinth 2 HD, Asphalt 5 HD and At Bat 2010.
Another top downloaded iPad app is The Elements, an educational app, and Alphabet Fun, which is great for young learners. Other apps that are a must have are The Weather Channel and various dailies such as Wall Street Journal or USA Today. With the introduction of the iPad ebooks and magazines have become a lot trendier and are in high demand.
The iPad is an excellent ebook reader that allows easy, customizable reading. The user can change fonts and sizes, easily flick through pages or jump ahead to a selected chapter or section, make bookmarks, search for words within the book, make related notes, and many more.
