Apple has just announced that it intends to produce a revolutionary and magical product, a 9.7 inch touchscreen Apple Ipad. The hopes that Apple could introduce an "iPad" at an event in September has given way to expectations that the airline on a line instead renewed its iPod digital media players. IPod has sold 250 million devices and applications on the Apple store have been three billion downloads in 18 months. When creating a new product, reflects, "should be really good and do important things." This concept includes Internet browsing, email, photos, videos, music, games and reading newspapers and books. All of the built-in apps on iPad were designed from the ground up to take advantage of the large, Multi-Touch screen. And they’ll work in any orientation."Some think that the netbook is the formula. They're just cheap laptops. I think we have something better," Steve Jobs said referring to the iPad. Commends the browsing experience it offers and what is between smartphone and laptop.
One of the first things you’ll notice about the iPad is how thin and light it is. The screen is 9.7 inches, measured diagonally. So overall, it’s slightly smaller than a magazine. . The device combines the capabilities of a mobile phone, computer, media player and portable game console is called iPad. The large Multi-Touch screen on iPad lets you see web pages as they were meant to be seen — one whole page at a time. With vibrant color and sharp text. So whether you’re looking at a page in portrait or landscape, you can see everything at a size that’s actually readable. And with iPad, navigating through the web has never been easier, or more intuitive. Because you use the most natural pointing device there is: your finger. You can scroll through a page just by flicking your finger up or down on the screen. Or pinch to zoom in or out on a photo. There’s also a thumbnail view that shows all your open pages in a grid, to let you quickly move from one page to the next.
Photo albums, calendars, music, maps, books, magazines, newspapers all conceivable digital content together into a single ten-inch screen, flat design, tactile and attractive as Apple products only know so. "The interface actually looks like an iPhone that has been expanded. See and touch your email in ways you never could before. In landscape, you get a split-screen view, showing both an opened email and the messages in your Inbox. To see the opened email by itself, you just turn iPad to portrait, and the email automatically rotates and fills the screen. No matter which orientation you use, you can scroll through your mail, compose a new email using the large, on-screen keyboard, or delete messages, with nothing more than a tap and a flick. If someone emails you a photo, you can see it right in the message. You can also save the photos in an email directly to the built-in Photos app. And iPad will work with all the popular email providers, including MobileMe, Yahoo! Mail, Gmail, Hotmail, and AOL.
The iPad also allows its use as a reader for electronic books in ePub format. It creates an application and online store, iBooks, for download. With its crisp, vibrant display, and its unique software features, iPad is an extraordinary way to enjoy and share your photos. For example, the new Photos app displays the photos in an album as though they were in a stack. Just tap or pinch to open the stack, and the whole album opens up. Then you can flip through your pictures, zoom in or out, or watch a slideshow. You can even use your iPad as a beautiful digital photo frame while your iPad is docked or charging. And there are lots of ways to import photos: you can sync them from your computer, download them from an email, or import them directly from your camera using the Apple Camera Connection Kit.
The Multi-Touch screen on the iPad uses the same revolutionary technology that’s in an iPhone. But for iPad, the technology has been completely reengineered for the larger surface, to make it extremely precise and responsive. So when you’re zooming in on a map, flicking through your photos, or deleting an email, iPad responds with incredible accuracy. And it does just what you want it to. The new Apple iPad has a battery, said Jobs, capable of withstanding ten hours in operation, has a thickness of only half an inch and weighing 680 grams (the Mac Book Air, the world's thinnest notebook, weighs twice and has half a cm more in thickness). Features powerful one-gigahertz processor, WLAN, (there is also 3G models), accelerometer, Bluetooth, speakers, microphone ... Everything you need to connect, see, hear or download any type of multimedia content. On the storage capacity will be marketed now three versions, with hard drives of 16, 32 and 64 Gb Nothing was said about the possibility of expansion cards.
The new iPad, which bears the same operating system of the iPhone, you can download and run any program that contains the 140,000 AppStore store. Let us remember in this connection that more than 99 percent of mobile application downloads are coming into the Apple store. The lucky owners of an iPhone may also transfer the applications you already have on the phone to his new iPad . The A4 chip inside iPad was custom-designed by Apple engineers to be extremely powerful, and yet extremely power efficient. So the performance is unlike anything you’ve ever seen on a touch-based device. Which makes iPad fantastic for everything from productivity apps to games. But at the same time, the A4 chip is so power efficient that it helps iPad get up to 10 hours of battery life on a single charge. And iPad is available with a choice of 16, 32 or 64GB flash storage.
A whole new world of possibilities for various corporate and leisure markets or entertainment. But not only that. Many newspaper publishers worldwide could be facing a real lifeline for their business. At a time when the crisis plaguing the editors of the print media, a device capable of displaying a good-sized printed pages could make a new start for the 'taste' to read newspapers. With built-in 802.11n, iPad can take advantage of the fastest Wi-Fi networks. And it’ll automatically locate available Wi-Fi networks, which you can easily join with a few simple taps. iPad also comes with Bluetooth 2.1 with EDR, which lets you connect to devices like wireless headphones or the Apple Wireless Keyboard.
Looming on the horizon new business models (with Apple taking 30% of profits) can completely change the current landscape of the media. Something that, on the other hand, Apple has already done in the music world when it launched its first iPod. iPad will also be available in a 3G model, with super-fast data speeds up to 7.2 Mbps.3 So if you’re traveling, or you happen to be somewhere that doesn’t have a Wi-Fi network, you can still get a fast connection for surfing the web, downloading email, or getting directions.
Moreover, agreements with major publishers (McGraw-Hill, Harper, Penguin, Hachette Books Group), appear to herald the beginning of the end of Amazon's hegemony in the world of electronic books, which will now have their own Shop at Apple iBooks. The device of the brand on the block, in the absence of appropriate testing, it seems, also, much more technologically advanced than any of the readers currently on the market. Just tap on the iTunes Store icon, and you can browse and buy music, TV shows, podcasts — or buy and rent movies — wirelessly, right from your iPad. There are thousands of movies and TV shows (in both standard and high definition), along with thousands of podcasts, and millions of songs to choose from. You can even preview songs before you buy them. And you can sync iPad with the content you already have in your iTunes library on your Mac or PC.
