The iPad Tablet, otherwise just known as the iPad, is a computerized device used for many different things. It is made by Apple and is part of their new touch screen product like, like an iPhone. It is used primarily for reading eBooks, so it is therefore the convenient size of an open book. The other big competitor for this product is Kindle, by Amazon. This has more options than Kindle since it is more than just a device for reading.
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.
This miracle of technology is only a pound and a half, so you can take it with you anywhere. It has a decent amount of memory and battery life. Despite this (and despite the touch screen) it looks very simple. There is one USB connector. The only other external device is a single headphone jack. Speakers and microphone are built in but cannot be seen. It looks extremely stream lined and polished.
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.
Despite this, many people were shocked by the price which is five hundred dollars. This is not including if you would like accessories like a mouse or keyboard plug in. Some have wondered at the lack of some features. Perhaps they will be offered later as upgrades in software form in order to make more money. These problems are the device’s inability to run more than one program at a time, no video camera despite the microphone (meaning video chat cannot happen), and problems with the wide screen format.
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 on both sides have debated over whether or not a lawsuit should even happen. The contesting of the name may be confusing and it is difficult to tell who would win if such a confrontation occurred. Any lawsuit would not lower sales, though it may take a little longer for customers to get the product if they have to go back to the factory to have the name on the back changed.
