Apple iPad

The Apple iPad was introduced to the public by Steve Jobs on 27th January 2010. Since then many people have been wondering whether it will actually sell when it is realeased in late March. Personally I think it’s great and I hope to get one but others have been saying that it’s just a big iPod as you can run all your iPod apps on it, the only difference is the bigger screen. You can buy the iPad with WiFi or with WiFi and 3G. Although 3G is very useful, I think it costs a little to much for me, especially as you have to pay $14.99 a month. You have a choice of 16, 32 or 64GB hard-drive on the iPad, basic model of 16GB hard-drive at $499 is very appealing to me. I am either going to get that one or the 32GB one at $599. UK pricing has yet to be announced. Apple have re-designed all of their basic apps that come as standard on the iPad, and they do look good. They’ve also added a books store called iBooks thy enables you to buy e-books directly onto your iPad. This device could very well be a good e-reader. The iPad has an LED back-lit display and 10 hours of battery life. The battery life may not be so accurate, we just don’t know. You can also download Pages, Numbers and Keynote, Apple’s iWork applications, onto the iPad for $9.99 each. Go to the Apple site for more information about iPad here. Here are some photos of the iPad:
