Apple iPad: A Review

Apple iPad

They say its magical, they say its revolutionary they say its unbelievable but is it so? The question remains as we look for the answer. Apple iPad is well and truly what any Tom, Dick and Harry would close their eyes and wish for. The most sleek, the most efficient and the most beautiful gadget that you can have in your pocket or pick out of your hand bag. The list of jaw dropping features is endless and goes on and on.

But what appealed to me most was its appearance; a glassy, futuristic design gives it an edge over all its contemporary brothers. All the application features are well suited to take full advantage of the large 9.7” multi touch screen, which works in every possible orientation. So that makes it truly unique as no other electronic touch screen device works in multiple orientations.

The large Multi-Touch screen on the iPad lets you see web pages as they were meant to be seen one page at a time! That again is a unique feature; but readability of the content has been improved upon with vibrant color and sharp text. So whether you’re looking at a page in portrait or landscape, you can see everything at a size that’s actually readable.

With the iPad, navigating the web has been easier or more intuitive. Using the most natural pointing device that is the finger scrolling through a page or zooming in or out on a photo has never been so much more animate. You flick your fingers to scroll a page and pinch them to zoom out of photos! There’s also a thumbnail view that shows all your open pages in a grid and lets you move quickly from one page to the next.

These features make it a really handy multipurpose tool. But i pad has not disappointed me with its office features. It has a finger sensitive keyboard that lets you write emails or articles on a word processor and allows you to use its amazing graphics to make a quick presentation. It is like carrying a super efficient desktop PC in your pocket which looks futuristic in design and rock solid in durability and is super cool to use. The iPad entertainment features are rich and heavy. It can play HD videos! The high resolution screen makes it even more inviting in the landscape mode and the built in speakers are decent. Though I prefer the ear phones for an experience of a higher order!

Features normally weighs down on battery life and makes the gadget heavy but i pad is fairly light weighing just over one and a half pounds and is half an inch thick and has fairly good 10 hour battery back up. It comes in two variants based on connectivity that is wi-fi and 3g and three capacity variants that is 16 GB, 32 GB and 64 GB. The Apple iPad is fairly priced at 499$ for an entry level wi-fi model and 829$ for a high end 64 GB 3g model, if the services provided by apple and its brand equity are considered its pricing is fair and just. It is targeted to suffice the needs of young professional and thereby its a good buy for anyone who loves to relax a bit between heavy schedules or rather work a bit more within gain that busy schedule.
