Apple Ipad Review

January 27, 2010 saw the launch of a device from Apple termed as Apple iPad. The iPad is loaded with great features and is one of the most impressive devices by Apple till date.

There has been much delight among the people about the wonderful screen of the iPad and yes the screen is stunning. It feels like one has held a huge iPhone in his hand. One of the most amazing features of the iPad is its speed. The tablet is blazingly fast. It was a fun web experience as the pages loaded up at great pace and scrolling was great too. There are 140,000 apps on the iPad and the most wonderful of them is the iBook implementation. This is a completely exciting experience as one can read many books without collecting a stack on your shelf.

One of the most disappointing features of the Apple iPad is multitasking. How can Apple leave that streaming Pandora when one works on the pages. iPad is some power but you can do very little with it at once. No-multitasking is a real setback for this device. There is no Adobe Flash Support yet and absence of camera is yet another disappointment. How can one buy a device which is boasting to better than laptops and iPhone and does not facilitate video conferencing.

The title iPad- Apple wouldn’t have come up with a worse title than this. Apple’s marketing expertise should have considered women a bit more, to whom the iPad might sound as some hygiene product. The name is a complete disaster and can ruin its own chances of success. The iPad weighs 1.5 lbs which is quite heavy as compared to others. Hence, some might struggle to hold it in one hand. The keyboard which Steve Jobs demonstrated on the stage looked fast but it isn’t that way. It is not great and not that responsive as it looked in demos.

Price is yet another tricky issue. The base price of iPad is $499 whereas one can get many of the iPad features in iPhone touch for just $199 and the iPhone is ever more portable. There is no HDMI port in iPad and it is still dependent on AT&T for the 3G services as well as it is also dependent on adapters.

Still the iPad is a good deal with impressive features.
The Verdict – 4/5. Go for it!
