Apple iPad – Get Yours For $0?
Posted by admin under Computers And Technology on Friday Dec 18, 2009
On January 27, 2010, Apple Computer’s CEO Steve Jobs finally announced the release of the much rumored first tablet device called the iPad during his keynote speech. When I saw it my first impression was “It is a huge iPod Touch!”
Goodness, I was so wrong when Steve started discussing the features and its capabilities. Definitely the display area is larger in comparison to the iPhone/iPod Touch’s. It is actually more than twice, measuring 9.7 inch with 1,024 x 768 resolutions. Also it is really bright.
The iPad supports multi-touch (of course!) so if you already have an iPhone or iPod Touch, you know how to use 90% of the features! Also, it can run most of Apps that you previously purchased through the iTunes store.
iPad runs very fast because it uses the new CPU called A4. If you remember the speed difference between the iPhone 3G and the newer iPhone 3Gs, then you are going to love the iPad because it runs much faster than that upgrade.
The larger display area has the “almost” full size software keyboard feature so you can use this device like a laptop computer. Naturally, Apple is going to release their business application suites such as iWork which includes “Pages,” “Numbers,” “Keynote,” etc.
How about the prices?
As you know, Apple is famous for having expensive gadgets. But because of the recent successes with price reduction of the iPhones and iPods, it was rumored that it would be just under $1,000. Think again. It comes in lower than that. The base model starts at $499 with 32Giga bytes of storage and wifi. (Cheaper than the original iPhone!) The most expensive model priced at $829 has 64Giga bytes of storage with 3G.
Now the best news, there are several ways to get the iPad for $0.00 (yes, it’s FREE.)
How?
Currently there are several programs, contests and surveys are being offered in exchange with a free iPad. These are offered by third party sponsors and companies. You just need to follow their instructions to be eligible for a free iPad.
