Ipad Review

After reviewing all the aspects of Apple's new ipad, I must say that I approve of this new technological advance. Granted when looking as this product you must remind yourself that while evaluating the ipad your judging it against its competitor Amazon's Kindle.

The ipad fits into my social and educational life just the same as any other technological piece of equipment. While already having a large interest in Apple's iphone, One look at the ipad and i was thinking to myself how great of a device it was and how it could impact my life. I could use this in my everyday life. Recently while on vacation I had thought to myself about how I wanted to read three books, but in knowing that these are larger books, and that space is limited while on airplanes I decided to just take one to save space. With the ipad and its Apple bookstore, I can have as many books on it as I would of liked and read at my leisure, without having to lug around three large books.

While also evaluating its gaming side, I do not think that it will largely impact gamers all around. Just like Apple's iphone, and itouch I believe that people will download many of the Apps featured through its marketplace, at the same rate. To Apple's defence I will say that if the ipad continues to update its games, in the way it has in the past couple years with the iphone, I will think they will lure gamers worldwide into seeing what new cutting edge games they are offering.

Now the ipad offers some things that the new smart phones do not, while vice versa. The ipad offers Internet in either Wi-Fi, or 3G network (for a monthly rate of either 15$ a month, or 30$). Now smart phone's do offer Internet at the same clip, but on a incredibly small screen, leaving the user straining its eyes to sometimes read the material. While using the ipad you have the luxury of a screen that is almost as large as your lab top, or sometimes small computer. Also with this you do not have to view the sites under their "phone compatible viewing". For example, just this past weekend I was sitting with my sister and she was complaining about how her Droid(by Motorola) to see facebook, and sometimes when trying to view her home page, it would automatically load the more compatible version of facebook with less information on the screen to make it easier for smaller phones. She did not like this because she wanted for it to be exactly like the facebook she uses while on her lap top. With the new ipad you are not bogged down by these problems, and can use it just like a laptop.

Now with prompted with the question "will the ipad effect the newspaper industry?" I would have to say that it should not affect the industry any more than its affected by lap tops, computers, and smart phones. In any case I'm sure that the industry should realize that there may be more of a demographic using the ipad to read materials and while reading more they may want to read the local newspaper. In realizing this they could set up monthly subscriptions linked right to the ipad, giving the reader the ability to read the pages just as he/she would in hard copy. But in all i believe that people will always want to read the paper version, just because it has become a large part in peoples life to be worry free and sit down and read the newspaper.

The ipad will be very useful in businesses around the world, with its uses in email, Internet. The accessibility of its touch screen keyboard and larger buttons on the touch pad you will not be cramming your fingers together and misspelling words. All this makes life easier as your able to keep contact with other companies because you can access everything at the touch of your hands, while moving through out the whole building, or from place to place as you may travel. Also while traveling you can access the music with the same clarity as a iphone, or itouch.

In the end of my review id say that if you have some extra money and, you may be in the market for a Reader, or itouch, than you should strongly consider the ipad. Also if in the business world and you are frequently in need of an at hands Internet source for many reasons, then i think the ipad is for you because of its many uses. Its prices are pretty fair what it offers, and being a new product to the market the price is higher than it may be in the years to come, because of technological advances. Apple should see profit in its product, but i do not see it as a new to the market "I have to have that device" product. That being said the product is great in what its used for and i would purchase the product myself if i possessed these needs.
