What is an iPad? Explanation of the essential

What is an iPad? Simple answer: it is a cross between a smartphone and a laptop, at least in size and weight. An iPad is classified as a tablet and is designed and marketed by Apple. It has a multi-touch display screen, which means that it has the ability to recognize the presence of two or more contact points (the fingertips) with the surface. This makes it really easy to do things like resize photos on the display screen. You can easily access a wide range of content such as books, movies, music, games, and all kinds of web content. The iPad was launched in April 2010 and in three months Apple had sold more than three million units. During 2010, about 15 million iPads were sold worldwide. These huge worldwide sales were due to the fact that business owners and professionals of all kinds liked the iPad almost as much as all the media junkies for whom it was created.

The weight of the iPad is approximately twenty-five ounces, making it much easier to transport than a laptop. IPad connects to the web using Wi-Fi or 3G, allowing users to search the web, stream their choice of videos and music, and run many types of software. IPad is also incredibly easy to manage and “sync” with your computer.

In April 2011, Apple released a new version of the iPad and called it iPad 2. During the last quarter of 2011, Apple sold more than 15 million iPad 2.

So what are the differences between an iPad and a Pad 2?

Well, here are the main features of the iPad 2.

The iPad 2:

  1. it is thinner and weighs less.
  2. comes with a choice of two colors: black and white
  3. has a dual-core processor for faster performance and faster response
  4. has improved graphics to make games more enjoyable
  5. has an improved internet browser. The iPad uses a browser called ‘Safari’
  6. allows the user to control applications and games by moving the iPad itself. This facility is known as a 3-axis gyroscope.
  7. It comes with two cameras that can record video in high definition. One of the cameras is located on the front and the other on the back of the device.
  8. allows user to make video calls to another ‘i’ device
  9. can now be connected to an HDTV to play videos or photos

The world now awaits the arrival (in fact it has already arrived) of … you guessed it, iPad 3, or as Apple prefers to call it; the new iPad.
