ipad

A mobile phone for a giant or a mini laptop! Ipad is not out yet but the comments are pouring from all sides.

The device is half an inch thick, with 9.6 inch in display and weighs 1.5 lbs. I would just love to have 10 hours of battery life to  continuously watch on my device.

Mr Jobs said:It’s so much more intimate than a laptop and so much more capable than a smart phone. But who would want to replace it with his phone or laptop or maybe both!

We can see everyone buying one only if Apple succeeds in making it a status symbol.

Seattle Times writes “The iPad is a remarkable device that plays video beautifully, has incredible responsiveness, and is one of the loveliest pieces of personal electronics I’ve ever seen…..Whether you should buy an iPad is an entirely separate question from how it acts. It could be spectacularly useless and a commercial flop, but that doesn’t change how fantastic it is.”

Critics viewpoint is also interesting ….

he display – the iPad’s backlit LCD screen is too bright for extended e-book reading.

Battery life - At 10 hours, it’s ahead of any netbook, but still a good 20 or 30 hours behind any e-book on the market.

Security - If your iPad gets stolen, there’s apparently no way to remotely lock it.

Apps lock-out – The iPad only runs apps from Apple’s App Store. Which is a lot of apps, admittedly, but not everyone’s happy about Apple’s inconsistency when it come to what apps it allows for sale.

Camera - There isn’t one.

USB input - There isn’t any. At least, not without an adapter.

No Flash - Without Flash, forget about displaying around the majority of internet content the way you could on a netbook or laptop.

Multitasking - Is impossible on the iPad, which means you can only use one application at a time, reducing its functionality as a work computer to little more than a large iPhone.

No HDMI - So you won’t be sitting back to watch any movies you download from iTunes on your TV. Read more.
