Apple’S Ipad -An Attractive Touch Screen Device
Apple has just announced the looming release of the iPad, a touch screen device that could revolutionize the electronics industry. Apple says the Touch was meant mainly to present typical iPad features, not to replicate the iPhone, and it included the Web browser only so users could get onto Wi-Fi to use the mobile music store in certain places that required a log-in screen.
However, maybe it won't but there is already an extremely bi-partisan view when it comes to liking the new iPad device. Here is a quick overview of what it will be all about. The iPad is essentially a moveable entertainment system. It allows you to watch movies, read ebooks and news stories, play games, listen to music, and also send email. It is sort of a souped up version of the iPod Touch, apart from a significantly larger display. With its full-color 9.7-inch screen, it matches the size of the Amazon Kindle DX (one of the largest-screened ebook readers at present on the market). The iPad weighs 1.5 pounds and, according to Apple, has 12 hours of battery life. The iPad can run most App Store apps, and its interface is similar to that of the iPod, so it'll be an easy tool to use if you already have some familiarity with Apple's latest products. If you like the iPod Touch and iPhone, you must like the iPad.
However, there is an additional feature that lets it act like a new type of ebook reader as well and now Apple has joined the battle of the eBook Readers. The iPad will allow you to read, download, and purchase publications and books in full color. That means you can read your favorite magazines and publications within full color. Like earlier iPads, the Touch is stylish and capable, and works smoothly with Apple’s free iTunes software for Windows and Macintosh PCs, as well as with its computer-based online iTunes Store, which sells far more downloaded songs and TV shows than any other legal outlet. This doesn't mean that anyone in the market for an ebook reader will automatically select the iPad, though. The iPad kind of makes ebook readers on the market look ridiculous; however, they are totally different devices. IPads are computers that can dual as an ebook reader. It may be a tough sell to the person who just wants an ebook reader to spend the extra money for a "fantastic device".
Getting to view all your videos, read all your books, listens to all your music, and play with all your games and apps. IPad will win several of fans. You can also download stuff with Wi-Fi connectivity; however the 3G capability is not available yet on the devices. In fact the iPad will work while others have failed. The touch screen tablet PC is not a new thing and In fact, many companies have failed in the past trying to make profit on these. In spite of these downsides, the Touch is a great media player, and the iPad remains the best end-to-end portable solution for playing and purchasing music and video.
Question and Answer
What's the difference between the ipad and the ipod touch?
Other than the larger size in the ipad, the reading feature, the keyboard docking and camera connecting feature, the 3G, and the microphone, are there any other benefits of the ipad over the ipod touch. Also, how much is the monthly fee for the 3G network on the ipad?

Always wonder where people got Apple Items to test? Now you do, iPadTestersneeded . tk

I'm not sure of Apple's real intentions on this one. I'm thinking they released the product to see what kind of response they'll get with it. Maybe people will come up with some good uses and Apple will tweak the product later on.
The link in my sources shows a few novel ideas on how the iPad COULD be used.

The iPad is an iPhone on steroids.
16 reasons why it sucks:
"The name sucks! The first thing my fiancee told me about the iPad? “Honey, I think I’m getting my iPeriod, do you have an iPad for me?” It doesn’t take a marketing genius to figure out that the iPad is a terrible name for a product. I plan to write a blog post about the worst jokes ever about the iPad so if you have some funny ones, please email them to me.
The network sucks! While I personally don’t have any problem with AT&T, most people don’t agree with me, so I guess it’s fair to say that sticking with AT&T was not the right decision for Apple. They could have gone with T-Mobile, or Verizon (even though I think the iPad or iPhone will never ever go to Verizon) and everybody would be happy. Apple is not a company that aims at making people happy though. It aims at making Steve happy!
No Flash! Alex of Applicious says it all: No Flash on the iPhone was barely tolerable. On a device that you call Internet-specific to not have Flash is more than annoying, it’s insulting. Flash, love it or hate it, is one huge slice of the Internet. This is not optional.
No multitasking! During his presentation of the iPad, Steve Jobs called netbook cheap laptops. Guess what Steve, I might have a “cheap laptop” but I’m currently typing this post on it with 2 Firefox windows opened, TweetDeck, a Word Document and Flickr Uploader running at the same time. Can your iPad do that? Netbooks are fulfilling a need. The iPad is not. It’s just struggling to create a one. Not having multitasking on the iPad really sucks.
No camera! If you’re going to create a mobile device for Mom and Pops, you’d better give it at least a front facing camera because Mom sure loves to Skype her daughter. I didn’t expect a back-facing camera on the iPad, but I sure hoped for a front-facing one.
It’s big! Of course it’s big, it’s the purpose of it. Still, I’m confused. Does Apple have to license plus-size pockets as an official iPad accessory?
It’s heavy! At 1.5 Lbs, I don’t think you’re gonna be able to hold this baby for 2 hours without developing a tendinitis.
No Video Output! If you thought about plugging your iPad in your TV to watch a slideshow of your latest vacation’s pictures, then think again because it’s not going to happen.
It’s not pretty! Let’s be honest for a minute, the big fat bezel around the touchscreen is ugly.
The keyboard sucks! I didn’t expect the iPad to have a physical keyboard but that won’t prevent me from complaining about it. I hate typing on my iPhone and something tells me I’ll hate typing on the iPad even more because it simply isn’t convenient. When I type on a keyboard, I like to have the screen facing me, not laying down flat because it is unpractical and in the long run, it will most likely cause pain in the neck and back (I’m serious).
No USB port! Did you want to plug your digital camera into your iPad to download your pictures. Too bad. Oh wait, you’ll actually be able to if you buy the $30 adapter Apple will be selling. That is mafia-style racketing.
No 16:9! Watching movies on the iPad is going to suck as it will render the movies in 4:3 aspect ratio with big black bars around it.
No Widgets! Ok, the iPad screen is huge but it actually feels empty. Why don’t we have widgets on this thing? Sticky notes, calculator, whatever widget?
The battery sucks! I don’t believe Apple when they say the iPad has a battery life of 10 hours. They were praising the iPhone 3GS battery. I still can’t get through the day without plugging mine in. Play NFS on your iPad for one hour, do a little bit of web browsing for 2 hours, and I bet you your battery will be dead before you can update your Facebook status.
The storage limitation sucks! Starting at 16GB, this is a complete joke. If you want me to store my music, videos and photos on your iPad (all this in top of my applications), I’m going to need MUCH more space than the 64GB limit.
Reading books on the iPad sucks! The Kindle might not be dead yet after all. I dare you to read a book on your iPad for more than 2 hours. By that time, your eyes will be crying, you’ll most likely have a headache and feel tired. That’s what computer screen do to you. I’m not a big fan of ebooks (I like the smell and feel of books – call me old school) but I do believe the e-ink feature of the Kindle is much better than what we’ll get on the iPad."

how does it work
February 23rd, 2010 - 17:03
The iPad cannot replace a computer. It is not a computer. It is a mobile device. Look at the specs on Apple's website. It does not run OS X. It does not have an Intel processor. You cannot run your existing Mac software on it. It's an overgrown iPod Touch.
This doesn't mean it a bad idea to get one. If the iPad is the kind of mobile device you want, this it is a great option. Twice the screen real-estate of the Touch at a slightly higher price. I'm thinking seriously about getting one one they come out. Just not to replace you MacBook Pro.

They are scams. iPad is not released yet, and some websites are just saying to give free iPad and let you buy things. They will earn money in behind, but quite probably you'll not get the iPad after all those things done.
Just check for latest information of iPad here from time to time, and see the actual user reviews when it actually comes out. Quite probably Amazon will be selling it at a cheaper price too:

lmaoo funny stuff
February 24th, 2010 - 07:56
The iPad is freaking huge… and that's about it. It's being marketed as a netbook but it's not. It lacks multitasking flash support etc. If you have a choice pick the iPod it's smaller and can work as an mp3 player too making it far more convenient. If you want a miniature device to browse the web with and do other things (Like writing documents etc.) just buy a normal netbook. If you're a big fan of apple they do have the macbook air but I would advise against that. A Dell or hp would work best they can come in incredibly small sizes.

How would any one know this since the device is not out yet? Maybe you could hot-glue it there…
