Apple have decided to wow us again today with the much anticipated launch of their new “iPad”. Looking like an iPhone on steroids the iPad is just as thin, with the same layout but seems larger than life and its list of credentials make it worth a second look!
With a high definition screen you’ll be able to watch movies clearer and better than your home TV. No it doesn’t remove your wide screen black bands but who cares when the picture is supposed to be that good! Boasting a built in accelerometer the iPad can detect motion like a Wii and repositions your picture to suit – meaning there’s no technical up and down – whatever’s good for you is good with the iPad. This combined with the almost full size keyboard should make emailing a dream without the weight and space-taking of a traditional laptop.
The iPad claims it’s going to be the best Net browsing device on the market and to be honest I expect it will be . I envisage it being like an electronic magazine on your coffee table, with in-the-moment information at your fingertips, requiring an effortless ease to browse wherever, whenever. If it’s anything like my iPhone the iPad should give you a human friendly kind of experience that will make it a lifelong companion you won’t want to leave behind - definitely a device I can’t wait to try.
Along with Apps like Bluetooth, Wifi and a GPS it also has the iBook. I suspect that the “Kindle” book reader devices may be left in its wake due to all the amazing extra applications it comes with. Like Apple has iTunes for music and AppStore for games and software, iBook allows you to download exceptional quality electronic books to read from its own personal store. You’ll be able to literally flick pages at your own pace with its advanced sensors and high definition.
The iPad battery life sounds good with enough juice to run for a solid 10 hours and one month on standby which is a great bonus. The release date into New Zealand is yet unknown but you can count on us to keep our fingers on the Pulse!
