Apple iPad
Apple built the iPad to be the best way to experience the web, email, photos, and video. One of the first things you’ll notice about the iPad is how thin and light it is. The 9.7 inch screen (measured diagonally) lets you see web pages one whole page at a time. So whether you’re looking at a page in portrait or landscape, you can see everything at a size that’s actually readable. And with iPad, navigating through the web has never been easier, or more intuitive. Because you use the most natural pointing device there is: your finger. You can scroll through a page just by flicking your finger up or down on the screen. Or pinch to zoom in or out on a photo. There’s also a thumbnail view that shows all your open pages in a grid, to let you quickly move from one page to the next. And because it uses a display technology called IPS (in-plane switching), it has a wide, 178° viewing angle. So you can hold it almost any way you want, and still get a brilliant picture. The powerful, built-in speaker produces a full, rich sound, which makes watching a movie or listening to music even more enjoyable.
- The Multi-Touch screen uses the same revolutionary technology that’s in an iPhone, but the technology has been completely reengineered for the larger surface to make it extremely precise.
- See and touch your email in ways you never could before with Mail. In landscape, you get a split-screen view, showing both an opened email and the messages in your Inbox.
- With its crisp, vibrant display, and its unique software features, iPad is an extraordinary way to enjoy and share your photos.
- The large, high-resolution screen makes iPad perfect for watching any kind of video: from HD movies and TV shows, to podcasts and music videos.
- With the iPod app, all your music is literally at your fingertips. You can browse by album, song, artist, or genre, with a simple flick.
- iPad will run almost 140,000 apps from the App Store. Everything from games to business apps, and more.
- The iBooks app is a great, new way to read and buy books. Just download the app for free from the App Store, and you’ll be able to buy everything from classics to bestsellers from the built-in iBookstore.

- You can use iPad for up to 10 hours while surfing the web on Wi-Fi, watching videos, or listening to music.
- With built-in 802.11n, iPad can take advantage of the fastest Wi-Fi networks. And it’ll automatically locate available Wi-Fi networks.
- iPad will also be available in a 3G model, with super-fast data speeds up to 7.2 Mbps. So if you’re traveling, you can still get a fast connection.
