Iphone, IPad and Mobile Phones

If you have been watching TV or reading any tech magazines lately, then I am sure you are aware of just how huge the buzz is around Apple’s new iPad. This small, yet extremely powerful device is changing the way we do just about everything. The face of the product is simply a piece of multi-touch glass. You control everything with the touch or tap of your finger.

Every single app that you grew accustomed to with your iPhone, has been completely rebuilt to work with the iPad. And with a screen that is 9.7 inches, your apps become much more powerful than they were before. Browsing the web, checking your email or watching a movie has never been so much fun. With the iPad, you are literally holding the internet in your hands.

You hold it just like you would hold a book or magazine you are reading. And when you get ready to turn the page, you do it the exact same way you would with a magazine or book. One of my favorite things about the iPad is that there is no right or wrong way to hold it. No matter which way you turn it, the orientation automatically adjusts.

The UI, or the user interface, is extremely simple and fun. You see something you like, you just tap it and it opens up. If you need to scroll down, just take your finger and scroll down. It is that simple. Nothing overly complicated or confusing. I must say, the iPad is truly going to change the way we do everything.

Apple one more time proved its capability to build a product that not only looks good but also feels great in one’s hand. The bigger screen of the iPad is good to use with the interface similar to the iPhone and iPod touch.

The gaming platform is great and you can view full size web pages when you are browsing through internet. Web browsing through the iPad is much better than iPhone. The bigger screen together with much easier way to flick through photos, music and movies makes this iPad a better option than a laptop. It has iWork suite which is touch optimised and very easy to operate. Thus this suite makes the iPad more than a gaming device. IPad’s e-reader application is quite a hit among the users. You can view a virtual bookshelf which is one of the Apple’s best creations. This will give a delightful reading experience. You can turn each page with swiping gesture or a tap in the right hand margins.

There are some functionality defects with the iPad which makes it not so popular among the customers. The iPad lacks Flash support which is a major drawback. Then there is no multi-task facility in the iPad. You cannot browse the web and listen to songs in your play list at the same time. The iPad is elegant device which gadget lovers may lust for but there’s not much advantage over any smart phone or laptop. It would be a good gaming device if not much.
