iPad, what can you expect from Apple. I know this is a little late, but I have been busy lately. So what is the iPad? As you can see, it is basically an inflated iPhone, but it is not as useful as you think.

Looks:

The nice looks are very great to the iPad, but the small icons pared with the giant screen does not strike me nice. The aluminum back and the sharp edges look great around the sides, but the buttons are net going to be easy to use. The aluminum backing is a lot better then the iPhone’s plastic backing or the iPods metal backing. They really made the iPad look more like a MacBook then any other Apple product. The slim design looks really good on it. It would look better with sharp edges and small borders around the screen.

Software:

All of the software is nice, especially the mail app. The bad thing about the software, is that you can’ really type and hold the device at the same time. They make it seem easy in the videos when everyone is sitting down with their legs up at an arch, but that is not always the case when you are using it. All you could really do to type while holding it is type one key at a time, this is not productive, and because of the weight, it is  easy to drop the device because you need to put a finger on the front of the device, and there is not enough room for your finger to hold it, it is very easy to drop

And Another Thing…

I would not suggest get this without getting an iPod if you are going to listen to music. It is very unlikely and uncomfortable to shove this in your pocket and listen to music at the same time.

And Another Thing..

Even if you think that this is a very negative review, I would still get it if I could. This is very great for video, games, and web browsing. Because of the big screen, videos are very comfortable to watch on this screen. You might think that this would be a great eBook reader, but regular screens are bad for your eyes, and they irritate your eyes over a period of time. That is why they made e-paper technology for this reason. Games would be great on this device, but when you grip it, the jagged sides can hurt your hands, but this is not a very important to me. The biggest thing that grabs my attention is the web browser. Again the large screen is great for web browsing, and the smooth scrolling and nice web browsing is just great, and it is the same on my iPod. A big problem that I face is that there is no flash. For this I would rather go with an Android tablet instead.

All in all, this is a great device, I would recommend it, but I would wait until more features like microphone and GPS. Wait until it is better and cheaper, then buy it.
