Is an iPad just a large iPod touch?
With the big announcement of Apple iPad's soon release, there has been lots of debate over whether the Apple iPad is innovative at all or just a big iPod Touch. Fans want to know if the iPad just a big hulk-sized iPod or if there's a real difference?
Apple just faced their biggest competitor; themselves. It's hard for Apple to live up to the high expectations of Apple enthusiasts and no matter what they do, there will be disappointed fans. The biggest issue Apple is facing with its iPad release is fans skepticism as to whether there's a difference between the iPod Touch and the iPad (other than size).
IPad is a new way of computing which filters all the frills and unwanted clutters. I have 2 PC laptops ,iMac desktop and a MacBook Pro. I am in IT field so I need to have many computers. I do need to create PowerPoint presentation and word document on every day basis. After getting iPad I leave all my computer home and carry only iPad that has taken wait off my shoulders. I can create beautiful presentation and word document on it and if I am stuck with very complicated work , I can anytime access my desktop from my iPad so iPad has made my life super easy.
Another great thing about iPad is it's always on. The time, PC takes to boot, is enough for iPad to accomplish many tasks.
Many people cry over flash but I am happy that iPad doesn't support flash so I don't get all unwanted flash based ad banners when you visit a website. Simply with some kind of iPad Video Converter + DVD to iPad Converter Suite, I can convert all kind of digital media files into iPad, DVD movies, blue-ray movies into iPad, watch full length movies and TV shows on iPad because flash is dead all the video content are being recoded into HTML 5.
iPad can do many things simultaneously. You can play radio app at the background. Screen can be split into two parts, on one side browse the Internet on the other side you can open any widget like unit converter,calculator or translator.
Gaming is incredible on it but I won't compare with Xbox or PS3. iPad doesn't have that kind of power but still it has endless fun and some game do give you a feel of console games.
Another amazing feature is you can create playlist right on device and set the order of the songs.
Saving email attachment to different apps is like a blessing for professionals. I join many meeting remotely using iPad free app gotomeeting.
Slideshow is just out of this world with songs playing with it. Watching news videos on MSNBC.com is lovely.
Netflix and Abc Player work like charm. I got netflix membership just for iPad. I love watching movies on this stylist device. I was never a fan of tv shows but since I got iPad I have started watching tv shows Modern Family and Happy Town.Many people love watching Lost,Dancing With Stars,V, Survivors etc on iPad.
Push notification for NBA playoffs is dead on. It gives latest scores even if it's in sleep mode.It can download YouTube videos and full length movies from iTunes and from some websites(Free) so you can enjoy them even if you are not connected to Internet.
Reading books on iPad is enticing. With unlimited eBooks for iPad or iPhone or iPod touch, one payment forever download with unlimited eBooks, Novels, Newspapers, ComicBooks and many more...
Overall I love iPad and I can't imagine my life without it I carry my entire office on it with loads of entertainment and fun stuff.
Just an update::: Battery life is incredible. My iPad is used heavily everyday still it easily lasts over 14 hours at one charge.
It can do everything that computer does. Who cares about flash? It plays all the videos without flash.
