Apple iPad – Everything is New Again

The Apple iPad without the VoIP app cannot be used to place calls or text message friends, but rest of the built-in capabilities of Apple’s new device mimic those integrated in the iPhone 3GS.

Another feature of the iPad distinguishing it from other Apple gadgets is its slide flexibility that pushes it far more ahead than any of Apple’s non-laptop mobile devices such as the iPhone. The bigger screen size of the iPad enables operation of its default apps including email, maps, photos, iPod, Safari browser, YouTube, and video that resemble full-grown applications in terms of both appearance and functionality. For example, the email app of the iPad is a mirror image of the Mail app of Apple OS X and offers a comprehensive overview of the inbox along with a display of text of any currently open message. Its photos app, with its open view of photos organized into event-specific stacks, is easily comparable with Apple’s iPhoto. The YouTube app works like a more appealing personification of the real web site. And the iPod app appears and functions like an adapted version of the iTunes. Ironically, the Safari Web Browser and the Maps are the only two applications that have been subject to a few changes and that offer the most drastically unusual experience because of iPad’s bigger screen size.

Size without grace is meaningless. Fortunately, the iPad boasts of both qualities with its multitouch display utility, a brand new Apple A4 processor of 1GHz, and an incorporated Wi-Fi transmitter compatible with the newest 802.1n wireless spec. Like any other Apple gadget, the apps in the iPad open within seconds; even a boot-up simply takes 10 seconds; and transformation from sleep to active mode is almost instantaneous. Moreover, the web browsing experiencing is often faster that that on the iPod Touch or iPhone on the same network, simply because an iPad requires lot less zooming and scrolling to access the required information.
