Why Is There So Much Hype Over The iPad PC?
The iPad Tablet is a small flat computer that is in tablet form. It has a touch screen operating system and is used much in the same way as the iPhone. It is a much bigger system, about the span of an open book. This is convenient because one of its main uses is as an eBook device, which allows users to download text onto the screen and read it like a book. It is much like the Kindle product made by Amazon.
It is to officially go on sale at the end of March, 2010 and orders have already broken records. It has gotten huge amounts of press and made its first major appearance on stage at the Grammy Awards. It was used as a plug for Apple, since the iPad was read from to announce the winner.
From the back, you might think it is a small laptop. The front is identically to the iPhone, only five times larger. It is almost a full computer system, though there is no keyboard or mouse. It is a music player, a recorder, a phone, a way to connect to the Internet, a file downloader, and a television.
It is fairly light, weighing one and a half pounds. Considering what it can do, this is extraordinarily light. It looks the simplest of all Apple products (meaning that the technology is very sophisticated, it just does not have a lot of frills). It has but one USB port and a single headphone jack. The rest of the iPad is completely smooth.
This product had been in the works for seventeen years before it was finally released in January 2010. Its long production ensured firstly that all the major kinks and problems could be worked out. It secondly made the hype over the product far more than it would have been over any other Apple product.
Despite this, many people were shocked by the price which is five hundred dollars. This is not including if you would like accessories like a mouse or keyboard plug in. Some have wondered at the lack of some features. Perhaps they will be offered later as upgrades in software form in order to make more money. These problems are the device’s inability to run more than one program at a time, no video camera despite the microphone (meaning video chat cannot happen), and problems with the wide screen format.
Some have speculated that a lawsuit over the name will follow. Lawyers from both sides have been contacted and have both discussed publicly the fact that they are unsure if a lawsuit will even happen. The right to the name is caught up in much technical and legal confusion and the original owner may not wish to press charges, especially considering that no verdict could be sorted out before the iPad goes live to stores.
