Apple has released many iPad models, from the original iPad to the sleek iPad Air 2. Although many casual consumers only use them for portable media players, the iPad could actually work for other purposes. The iPad can be connected with high speed Internet connectivity with 3G or 4G LTE network. While the iPhone is designed primarily as standard communication tool, the iPad isn’t equipped with voice connectivity.
The newer iPad models already come with smooth multitasking capability and this should help us to operate more than one app at once, especially because these devices are powered with powerful processor and other great hardware resources. In essence, consumers can think of an iPad as the compact version of MacBook Air with its OS X operating system. With the iPad, we could access Apple’s primary services, such as the iBook store, iTunes store and App Store. The iWork app should also work better on an iPAd than on an iPhone.
The iPad is created to run many different kinds of apps that can be downloaded from App store. This isn’t a technological choice, but more of enticements that can help users further improve the usability of their iPad units. The iPad has been called as a revolutionary unity, although there are many tablets available before the release of the original iPad. Apple has combined great usability, good design and convenience; things that we couldn’t get from those older, bulky slates. Steve Jobs has harshly criticized that netbooks, because they are less usable than standard laptops, but not much more compact. The iPad is an alternative computing device for users in the market, although it doesn’t come with full fledged desktop operating system. In the end, Apple released its own version of near-netbook sized device, the MacBook Air that’s actually a slimmer and smaller version of the full-sized MacBook. Unfortunately, even the latest iPad model still shares the same drawbacks of the original model. As an example, they don’t support microSD cards and they don’t have standard microUSB connection to make it easy to connect with many accessories in the market. It supports SIM card to connect with the network, but it accepts the smaller format; which can be a little more difficult to find in some countries.
Latest iPad versions are equipped with high resolution displays and they should be suitable for reading ebooks and web browsing. Another significant accessory is the official cover that provides additional functions. The tablet lineup has also started significant improvements in the accessories industry. There are many accessories that we can integrate with the iPad and we should be comfortable with the overall experience, because there are so many new things that we can do with these sophisticated slates.
Finally, the Apple iPad is known for its impressive visual design that’s incredibly fun and absolutely rewarding. It is clearly a sleek computing device that is purely simplified for any kind of professional and casual usages. The late Steve Jobs has clearly given us a wonderful piece of technology that will shape the mobile industry for years to come.
