When you scan the page covering the Apple iPad Technical Review, the technical details will always please you in more than one ways. Before I enlist the features that are inbuilt in the iPad I will provide the dimensions that are important in your regular transportation with the instrument. It is 9.56″ X 7.47″ weighing only i.5 lbs. the slim feel of the almost absent thickness gives it a different look in comparison to all its competitors.

There may be countless reasons for you hating the iPad. In fact if they are related with money I don’t think that even the best iPad reviews can help you with that unless the Apple iPad come to you via a sponsor. But if you catch the view of all the features on the Apple iPad Technical Review page then it will be hard for you to resist only looking at it.

Here are some of the outstanding features, which are in built with the apple iPad.

• 9.7″ LED display with a fingerprint resistant coating. Supports different dialects and is embedded with the latest IPS technology. You can see all the 1024X768 pixels in at a resolution of 132 pixels psi.

• The battery is 25 hour rechargeable with connectivity to the USB and computer.

• The memory capacity is 16GB or even double. The choice is yours.

• One of the main interests of the apple iPad is the processor. It is a1Ghz one made by the home company itself.

• Inbuilt sensors with accelerators do light up the Apple iPad Technical Review section immensely.

• There is input output feedback with the facility of audio/video streaming.

• It also caters to the different mail supports that are needed in your daily life. That means all the applications on windows office like excel, power point and PDF are easily read and interpreted.

• It comes in with an inbuilt dictionary and keyboard support for different languages like French, German, Spanish etc.

These are just some of the many features that you will get with your new iPad. However it is better that have a good iPad review before you finally choose one. It is certainly a good purchase, as I do also possess one.

Even having all of them the iPad does come in for some kind of criticism. This is from those who buy the apple iPad for fun and then go on to tarnish its god image in the society. But I must also mention that they are deliberately not mentioned in the Apple iPad Technical Review as the makers did think of the best needed items that one could do with.

With much fanfare and hype the Apple iPad was introduced on January 27, 2010. Already the critics are out in force complaining of the things the iPad doesn’t have. Some have even called it a giant iPhone that can’t make phone calls. One thing is certain; the iPad has all of the Apple panache just as the iPod and iPhone have, but will it be a big hit or is it a white elephant?

The iPad was introduced as a cross between a notebook and a smart phone. The Apple disciples have been eagerly awaiting a tablet computer from Apple for a long time, so I imagine that it will be a hit with them. For the non-Apple fanatics that took to the iPhone and iPod like ducks to water, I wonder if they will embrace the iPad too.

iPad Criticism

Whenever a big consumer electronics company comes out with a new and innovative product there is always criticism. I suppose we are all so used to technological advances that we are expectant that a new electronic device will be the answer to all our prayers. After all, a few years ago some people carried around a cell phone, an iPod, a PDA device or laptop, and a digital camera. So smartphones like the iPhone were welcome as they could almost replace all of the individual mentioned devices.

One of the most common criticisms is the name which many have said is too closely related to a feminine hygiene product prompting the term iTampon. Maybe they are right and it would have been better to call it the iTablet or iSlate. The critics have also mentioned many functions that they believe the iPad should incorporate, like:

* No integrated USB
* No HDMI port
* No expandable memory
* No camera for photos, video or apps
* No flash support
* No streaming video
* No multitasking

The Prices

Many people were surprised by the low price when it was introduced as they expected a price of $1000. Others have said that the price is in fact high for such a device prompting rumours that Apple will reduce the price very shortly if expected sales are not forthcoming.

There are in fact various prices depending on the configuration. The iPad comes with 16, 32, or 64 GB capacity and with either Wi-Fi or Wi-Fi and 3G. So the base model with 16 GB and Wi-Fi only sells for $499, while the 64 GB model with both Wi-Fi and 3G sells for $829.

The Features

Criticism asides, there is a lot to like about the many features that the iPad does have. One of the major features is the ebook reader, iBook, which may end up being a Kindle killer. It is about the same size as the Kindle DX but it is slightly heaver and thicker. The main benefit is the LED backlit color display that all e-ink displays used by dedicated ebook reader’s lack. This will make it extremely useful for subscribing to newspapers and magazines as it is no fun reading a magazine on a Kindle in black and white.

Like many ebook readers, the iPad also supports viewing in portrait and landscape mode. But with the email function of the iPad, in landscape you can see your opened email plus the inbox and when you turn the display to portrait the opened email opens to fill the screen.

Other Features

* Photos – You can use the iPad as a digital photo frame while it’s docked or charging.
* Video – You can watch HD moves, YouTube videos, podcasts, TV shows, and music videos. You can also switch between widescreen and full screen with just a double tap of the finger.
* iPod and iTunes – You can display album art at full size and listen to music with the built-in speakers or by the Bluetooth wireless speakers. With iTunes you can preview songs before buying and you can sync the iPad with your iTunes library or your computer.
* App Store – 140,000 apps from games to business are available to buy.

There are also maps, notes, calendar, contacts, and search functions. The battery life is stated at 10 hours which is enough to watch movies, surf the web, or listen to music.

Summary

So, will the Apple iPad sell like hot cakes? I am sure that most of the Apple die-hard fans will immediately snap up this latest offering. Only time will tell if the general public will find this device as irresistible as Steve Jobs hopes. Myself, I believe it will take off and only improve with future releases but I will sit on the fence for a while until I see if they are indeed going to reduce the price and wait for the iPad 2!
