ork well and quickly, take up little space in memory and the overwhelming majority of extremely cheap. The iPad is the antithesis of Netbooks: no multitasking, it is single user only accepts software previously validated by Apple available only via its website Appstore. It is also a closed system: there are no plans to add memory or to connect devices as common as a printer. Even its battery cannot be replaced by an individual. The iPad comes in six versions that differ only in their memory (16, 32 or 64GB) and their method of connecting to Internet via a single Wi-Fi connection, like the iPod Touch, or a cellular connection
The iPad and the Internet
The iPad features Safari, the browser developed by Apple. We can tried it on a Wi-Fi 802.11g, the most common among individuals with a wide flow smoothly enough to watch short videos online in Quicktime or WindThe iPad .
At the official launch of the iPad by Steve Jobs, he had brought Phil Schiller, the head of global marketing at Apple for it to do the demo of iWork for iPad. iWork is Apple in the world that it is in Microsoft Works for Windows: a range of desktop applications with limited functionality when compared to those of Microsoft Office, but sufficient in the context of a household. iWork is built around three products sold separately at the low price : Keynote (for presentations), Numbers (spreadsheet) and Pages (word processor.). Numbers and Pages can be used interchangeably in portrait and landscape so that Keynote works only in landscape mode. In terms of email, the iPad supports IMAP, POP3, Gmail, Yahoo, AOL Mail, and MobileMe Microsoft Exchange, of particular interest to businesses.
The iPad and Multimedia
The software environment of the iPad is sensational when it comes to watching and rank pictures. His Photos application is very user friendly. It allows you to organize all the slides synchronized via iTunes by date and event, but also in terms of people and places photographed. For games, the iPhone and especially the latest generation iPod Touch have proven to be excellent platforms that support recreational compares favorably address gender experts, namely the Nintendo DS and Sony PSP.
The iPad and reading digital books
With the iPad, Apple launches an assault on the digital book readers through its application iBooks. It does not come with the iPad but can be downloaded for free from the Appstore. In line with Sony and Barnes & Noble, Apple has chosen for its format ePub eBook. ePub is the acronym for electronic publishing and was developed by the International Digital Publishing Forum. This standard is to digital books what MP3 music files is on. It accepts both public domain books that those protected by DRM (Digital Rights Management) as is the case of books sold on the Apple iBookstore.
In each of the areas tested, the iPad has not especially conspicuous, except in the digital books. This is a gadget that costs a fortune, is unclear because surfing the Internet to embrace all the standards that abound, sometimes painstakingly create documents, do not know calls or even take photos and Yet, we loved it! The iPad is not just a super iPod Touch screen which has tripled in size. It introduces a new way to approach the computer, much more natural and intuitive than anything we have experienced so far. This is the first computer that makes us forget that this is a computer. Just like the iPod had disrupted the market for music players, the iPad will shake the mobile computing. However, we were frankly annoyed by the number of kits available as optional, mutually exclusive. Missing in fact a “Universal iDock” that would simultaneously recharge the iPod from the mains, connect it to speakers, read the contents of an SD memory card and connect a digital camera via a USB cable. It is hoped that such a kit will be sold in the near future at a reasonable price by a third company that specializes in accessories for iPod, iPhone, etc.
