With the great success after the launch of iPhone in January 9, 2007 they launched iPod Touch in the same year on September 5, 2007. They thought of making something new in their hardware so they waited patiently of about three years and on April, 2010 the launched their Tab called "iPad". Hence today my blog is about their product"iPad"
iPad is a tablet computer design which does all the work as it helps a person in many ways. It has helped me for sure. This is usually used for listening to music, playing interactive games(includes 3D too), can play movies and videos and last but not the least it is a great success at the web. Its size and weight fall between smart-phones and laptops. According to report released by Strategy Analytics, the Apple iPad has gained a 95% share of Tablet PC sales at the end of second quarter 2010. During the second quarter 2010, Apple had soled 4.19 million iPads around the world even I have bought it and it is awesome.
The OS(Operating System) of iPad is same as iPhone and iPod Touch. It can run any software made for iPodTouch or iPhone even though the programmers have started building APP's especially for iPad. One can purchase the App's from the App Store either from the iTunes(Mac or PC) or one can buy directly from the built in App Store in the iPad. Actually what I think is that the developers of this iPad has just made a BIG BROTHER of iPod Touch the only exceptional it has is that you will get a 3G support with it.
It is also controlled by the multi-touch display and the coolest thing about it is, like earlier modals of the Tablet(excluding Apple as this is their first Tab) you needed to push hard with your fingers or you had to use a stylus in case, which was damn irritating. Spending more money in their RnD the touchscreen is awesome. What I think is that in the case of touchscreen no one can ever beat Apple as they spend Millions-of-Millions $ just for the RnD.
Very few may know that when did Apple launched it's first Tablet Computer? Apple first Tablet Computer was the Newton MessagePad100, which was introduce in 1993, which let to the creation of the ARM6 processor core with Acorn Computers. Apple also developed PowerBook Duo-based tablet, the PenLite, but in order to avoid hurting MessagePad sales did not sell it. Apple release several more Newton-based PSAs, and discontinued last, the MessagePad 2100, in 1998.

iPads Screen and Input
iPad's touchscreen display is a 9.7 in (25 cm.) LCD(Liquid Crystal Display) having 1024 x 768 pixels with a fingerprint-resistance and scratch-resistant glass. Steve Jobs once commented when the size if the iPad was decreased and that was "too small to express the software" He said that around 10 inches would work. If you want to write something in your own handwriting then their is a special Capacitive Styli designed for the use.
The display responds to two other sensors, an ambient light sensor to adjust scree n brightness and a 3-axiis Accelerometer to sense the iPad's Orientation and to switch between the portrait and landscape modes.
If you personally ask my opinion then the screen input is marvelous. As I have mentioned earlier that the respond as well as the experience of the touch is awesome and no one can beat them in.
Connectivity
iPad has a built in Wi-Fi Connectivity as well as a 3G connectivity. All the 3G plans are sold separately varying country to country like in India we have for Airtel or TATA. The speed is quite impressive too. I don'nt really have any kind of problems with my 3G speed. It also has a inbuilt Bluetooth®( 2.1 + EDR) which can be used wirelessly for headphones and keyboard and mouse only bluetooth ones. Bit the only problem which it faces is that it can not transfer any file via Bluetooth. iPad also features 1024 x 768 video output for connectivity an external display or television. But I am really disappointed that it can not even connect to any cell phone to exchange any photos or video. I had to Jailbreak my devise to do it. Really disappointed!!!
Apple claims that the iPad's battery can provide up to 10 hours of video and 140 hours of audio playback or one month on standby. Their are three modals of iPad 16 GB, 32GB, 64GB. All the data are stored in the inbuilt flash-drive.
The best feature of iPad can only be used while surfing the web or checking your mails. It's Retina Display is quite pretty. They have really worked hard this time to tell the market "What is a Tablet?". It also has a feature of reading books in it called "iBooks" where e-Books can be purchased from the iBook store(currently all the books are free) but let me tell you one thing the feeling you get reading an actual book is totally different with it.
In the end what my experience says is that it is worth buying and iPad.
So, that's it for the todays blog I would be writing a blog on softwares provided by Microsoft and a comparison would be done with the softwares of Apple.
