Apple iPad: The 'Size Zero' in Computers


Computers worldwide have been bitten by the 'size zero' bug. Wondering what we're talking about? Well, Apple, best known for their ubiquitous iPods and Mac computers have unveiled what is claimed to be the thinnest tablet PC known as the Ipad.
A big world in the palm of your hand The Apple iPad looks like a king-size iPhone, sizing up at just 9.5-inches tall and 7.5-inches wide, making it too big to slip into your pocket, but small enough to carry around in a bag. At just a mere 0.68kgs, this tablet PC is almost feather weight.
Glossy TouchThe sleek iPad features a 9.7-inch LED-backlit glossy widescreen touch display which means that it can be accessed by the power of touch. Since it doesn't have a keyboard, typing on this skinny baby works by entering text with the help of an onscreen virtual keyboard.
Feature-filled The iPad features Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and offers a choice in built-in storage of either 16GB, 32GB or 64GB. Plus, there's GPS, an accelerometer and a digital compass. You'll be able to access the Internet from just about anywhere, which means that you can email on-the-go, watch videos on Youtube and do just about anything that you would generally do on your home computer.
Entertainment plus Since the iPad sports a big glossy screen, this tablet PC can also double serve as a digital picture frame for photographs that are stored in its memory. You'll be able to zoom in and out of pictures due to the screen's high resolution. And, like Apple's iPod Touch, the iPad too allows you to play all your stored music with just one touch.
Listen to music using its built-in speaker or using your headphones. One of the good features of the Ipad is that it allows users to download books via an application called iBooks. Once you make a purchase of a book from the application store, it will then be displayed on the iPad's "Bookshelf".
Long life The Apple iPad has a good battery life so you'll be able to work for around ten hours at a go.
All in one device To sum it up, Apple's revolutionary iPad combines an iPod and laptop into one slim tablet which can be carried around everywhere. The only feature missing seems to be calling capabilities, although it does offer users the choice to save their contacts for easy access.
It also allows users to use all iPhone apps. In the future, you can expect a number of iPad accessories, which include a reasonably priced camera kit that allows one to directly transfer photographs to the iPad from a digital camera or SD card. All in all, Apple's newest next-generation iPad device is a good buy if you are one who needs to check and send emails frequently, listen to music on the move and browse the Internet. After all, a laptop that literally fits in your palm is quite a creative innovation in the world of technology. It will be soon be available in India at a price starting from Rs.23,000.
