Apple iPad is something new with much anticipation from most reviews. One of the target areas is it will be a replacement for the Kindle reader, and your phone. With this in mind apple is hoping to create a space for the iPad between your smart phone and your home computer.
The iPad weighs 1.5 pounds and is7.47 inches wide and 9.56 inches tall, it is not your phone size and when holding it for long periods it does become heavy.
iPad has a 9.7 inch captive touch screen and technology for above average viewing angles, with a maximum resolution of 1024x768. The Apple processor is a 1GHz A4 and comes with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. With three storage choices in 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB (not overly large to my thinking) with a battery usage at 10 hours. If you are looking to have a 3G network it is in the plans to come out in May.
iPad has the same apps as an iPhone like Safari web browser, email, photos, calendar, maps, YouTube, contacts, photos, notes, and iPod already installed. Existing apps are mostly compatible with the iPad and includes App Store and iTunes store plus a new iBook store. Work is in progress to bring out new apps for the larger iPad screen and higher resolution. Downloads are like the iTunes with audio books, movies, movie rentals, TV shows, podcasts, music, and iTunes. Some of the drawbacks are it is not light to hold for long periods. You have no multitasking or camera for video conferencing, and the keyboard is not as responsive as you would want.
Aside from these few things it has a fast response time, great screen resolution, and a great reader that is more like reading the book than digital. Time will tell if people are willing to buy another device between a smart phone and a book reader. With the touch screen and the high resolution you will be able to see animations with the text and enjoy the reading experience with younger children. If enough people are willing to pay the price for a better reader it may find its hold in the market and place pressure on Kindle readers, so what is going to be next in the reader wars?
If you are like me with a smart phone, home computer and a laptop where is this going to fit into your plans? Do we need the newest device to show and say we have one or is it truly worth the cost. If you have your laptop already (as of now you cannot do video conferencing) you are not going to replace it with the iPad if you need some of the features it does not have, but are promised to come later. But if it fills your needs for a reader and all of its apps it does look like it can be a good buy for you. And we feel it will take away a lot of sales from kindle readers because it is so versatile. But most of all the display gives you a great view and makes reading very easy.
In our opinion Apple Ipad wins hands down over amazons kindle.
