An iPad Tablet is the latest invention by The Apple Computer Company. It is called the iPad and literally looks like a small tablet (biblical style). The iPad is about the size of a book held open in your hands, which is actually it’s primary use. Many people use it like its competitor’s product, the Amazon Kindle. IPads have a touch screen and are very much like a large iPhone.
The iPad will be available to buy by the end of March, 2010. Orders have started since the product was officially released and it has sold thousands in the first month. This is because its first major appearance anywhere in public was when it was used on stage at the Grammy Awards. The host read the winner from it.
From behind it looks like a small, closed Apple laptop. From the front, it looks like an iPhone five times its normal size. It has no keyboard or mouse that come with it, though it is very sophisticated technology that is able to play music, record sound, use almost all current Macintosh programs for computer and phone, connect to the web, download many different types of files, and make phone calls.
It weighs just a pound and a half, which is amazing considering its memory and battery capabilities. It connects to WiFi. On the outside, it is easily the simplest of modern Apple products. There is only one USB port and one headphone jack. There are speakers and a microphone built in. That is it.
This is the brainchild of seventeen years of work. It started in 1993 and was finally announced as ready in 2010. It has had more hype and publicity than any other Apple product, which will account for its sales more than for its technology.
This is even including the price which many view as high. The iPad starts at five hundred dollars without any keyboard or mouse. Those need to be bought on their own. Sales have not slowed, but some are surprised by the product’s limitations. It cannot operate more than one program at a time nor are there video recording options. Many believe these problems will be soon corrected and upgraded.
There has been a lot of controversy regarding the name. Some find it to have repugnant associations and some are upset that the name was not originally theirs, but was rather taken after another product named iPAD was abandoned. Nevertheless, Apple cannot go back on the name now since it has gained so much publicity and is ready to go on shelves shortly.
Lawyers from both sides are unsure to whom the name legally belongs and if there is an impending law suit. It is doubtful it will harm sales at all, though it may delay the product reaching shelves. If there is one, it will be cutting it very close to the release date.
