Manufacturer's Description

Apple iPad: Revolutionary Device with Advanced Technology
A truly revolutionary device, the Apple iPad is perfect for your mobile computing lifestyle, including browsing the Web, reading and sending e-mail, enjoying photos, watching videos, listening to music, playing games, and much more. It features a brilliant 9.7-inch, LED-backlit display with IPS technology that delivers crisp, clear images and consistent color and a highly precise, capacitive Multi-Touch display that's Amazingly accurate and responsive--whether you're scrolling Web pages or playing games.

Measuring just 0.5 inches thin and weighing a mere 1.5 pounds, the iPad is easy to carry and use anywhere. There's also a slight curve to the back. Which makes it easy to pick up and comfortable to hold. This version of the Apple iPad comes with 32 GB of internal flash memory and ultra-fast Wireless-N Wi-Fi networking.

The iPad runs almost all apps from the App Store, including apps already purchased for your iPhone or iPod touch. And the iPad comes with 12 new innovative apps designed especially for the iPad, including Mail, Photos, Maps, Notes, and YouTube.

When you're zooming in on a map, flicking through your photos, or deleting an email, the iPad responds with incredible accuracy. Reading and sending e-mail is on iPad's large screen and almost full-size "soft" keyboard. Import photos from a Mac, PC or digital camera, then see them organised as albums, and enjoy and share them using iPad's elegant slideshows. Watch movies, TV shows and YouTube--all in HD.

The iPad syncs with iTunes just like the iPhone and iPod touch, using a standard Apple 30-pin to USB cable, so you can sync all of your contacts, photos, music, movies, TV shows, applications and more from your Mac or Windows-based PC. Other features include up to 10 hours of battery life, Bluetooth 2.1+EDR connectivity, and built-in speakers plus 3.5mm headphone jack.

9.7 inch LED-backlit Display
The high-resolution, 9.7 inch LED-backlit, IPS display is remarkably crisp and vivid, making it perfect for web browsing, watching movies, or showing off photos. It's also been designed to work in any orientation--portrait or landscape.

Multi-Touch Capabilities
The Multi-Touch screen on the iPad uses the same revolutionary technology that's in an iPhone. But for iPad, the technology has been completely reengineered for the larger surface, to make it extremely precise and responsive.

Landscape or Portrait View
IPS (in-plane switching) display technology provides a wide, 178-degree viewing angle, enabling you to hold it almost any way you want and still get a brilliant picture with excellent color and contrast.

Powerful Performance
Designed by Apple, the new A4 chip provides exceptional processor and graphics performance along with long battery life of up to 10 hours. Apple engineers took the same lithium polymer battery technology they developed for Apple's notebook computers and applied it to the iPad. As a result, you can use iPad for up to 10 hours while surfing the web on Wi-Fi, watching videos, or listening to music. Apple's advanced chemistry and Adaptive Charging technology deliver up to 1,000 charge cycles without a significant decrease in battery capacity over a typical five-year lifespan.

Stay Connected
With built-in wireless-N Wi-Fi, the iPad can take advantage of the fastest Wi-Fi networks around. It will also automatically locate available Wi-Fi networks, which you can easily join with a few simple taps. In addition, Bluetooth 2.1+EDR enables you to connect to devices like wireless headphones or the Apple Wireless Keyboard.

Environmental Design
Continuing Apple's dedication to designing and creating environmentally responsible products, each iPad enclosure is made of highly recyclable aluminium and comes standard with energy-efficient LED-backlit displays that are mercury-free and made with arsenic-free glass. iPad contains no brominated flame retardants and is completely PVC-free.

iPad Apps
iPad will work with almost all of the over 140,000 apps for the iPhone. That means popular apps for gaming, video, Amazon Kindle, cooking, photography -- whatever it is you're into -- are at your disposal.

The process for getting new apps is exactly the same: Just download them from the App Store and start using immediately. Or, if you already have apps for your iPhone or iPod touch, you can sync them to iPad from your Mac or PC. Then run them in their original size, or expand them to fill the screen. And developers are working on new apps designed specifically for this amazing device and all the things it can do. The iPad also includes 12 new innovative apps designed especially for the iPad:

Safari
The large Multi-Touch screen on iPad lets you see web pages as they were meant to be seen--one whole page at a time. And with iPad, navigating through the web has never been easier, or more intuitive.

Mail
In landscape, you get a split-screen view, showing both an opened e-mail and the messages in your Inbox. To see the opened e-mail by itself, you just turn iPad to portrait, and the e-mail automatically rotates and fills the screen

iBooks
You'll be able to buy everything from classics to bestsellers from the built-in iBookstore. Once you've bought a book, it's displayed on your Bookshelf. To read it, all you have to do is tap on it and it opens up.

Photos
The new Photos app displays the photos in an album as though they were in a stack. Just tap or pinch to open the stack, and the whole album opens up. Then you can flip through your pictures, zoom in or out, or watch a slideshow.

Video
The large, high-resolution screen makes iPad perfect for watching any kind of video: from HD movies and TV shows, to podcasts and music videos. You can also easily move between wide-screen and full-screen with a double-tap.

YouTube
The YouTube app organises videos so they're really easy to see and navigate. To watch one, you just tap it. When you're watching in landscape, the video will automatically play in full screen.

iPod
With the iPod app, all your music is literally at your fingertips. You can browse by album, song, artist, or genre, with a simple flick. To play a song, just tap it, and the now playing screen will show the album art at full size.

iTunes
Just tap on the iTunes Store icon, and you can browse and buy music, TV shows, podcasts--or buy and rent movies--wirelessly, right from your iPad.

Maps
See more of the world with high-resolution Satellite and Street View images. You can even see topography with the new Terrain view. You can also search for a nearby business type (for example, "Restaurant") and then tap on that business to see directions.

Notes
With its expansive display and large, on-screen keyboard, iPad makes jotting down notes easy. In landscape mode, you get not only a note-taking page but also a list of all your notes.

Calendar
You can see an overview of a whole month, or the details of a single day with Calendar's Day, Week, Month or List views. iPad will even show multiple calendars at once, so you can manage work and family calendars at the same time.

Contacts
A new view lets you see both your complete contact list, and a single contact, simultaneously. Need directions? Just tap on an address inside a contact and it'll open Maps.

Spotlight Search
You can search across iPad, and all of its built-in apps including Mail, Contacts, Calendar, iPod, and Notes. It will even search apps you've downloaded from the App Store.

More apps
The iPad will run almost all of the apps designed for the iPhone. If you already have apps for your iPhone or iPod touch, you can sync them to iPad from your Mac or PC. Then you can run any of those apps in either their original size, or you can expand them to fill the screen.

By Eric Ambleside TOP 500 REVIEWER
Ah, the iPad. Criticising an Apple product can be like having a go at Mohammed, such is the fanatical fervour of the drooling Jobs fan base (could we call them "Jobbies" perhaps?). Writing a review is actually somewhat pointless in many respects, as we are entering the realm of the holy. But I will have a go anyway.

Good stuff:

- great interface, nothing new, and now matched elsewhere, but still slick and smooth.
- nice screen, although not as sharp as I might have hoped, which seriously impedes its credibility as a book reader (see below). Pictures and video do look very good, and makes a wicked photo frame
- browsing: utterly brilliant. This is the iPad's real strength, and makes the browser based Internet experience joyful
- games: some great gaming is to be had. Obviously much the same as the iphone/touch, but the extra scale works brilliantly.
- soft keyboard: actually quite useable, simply due to the bigger key space.
- apps: there are some crackers, at great prices, and some demonstrating brilliantly economical coding techniques - but see below
- battery life - really amazingly good considering the size of the screen
- the "find my ipad" stuff is simply brilliant. Remote locking/wiping of a mobile device is great
- PDFs: at last, a comfortable way to deal with PDFs, which I loathe with a passion on my PC desktop (clumsy, stupid things). Using Goodreader, they are wonderfully easy to manipulate.

Not so good stuff:

- wifi performance doesn't seem very clever to me. I'm getting lots of stops, pauses and lock ups whilst browsing which I don't get with other devices, including a Touch
- book reader: pretty cack compared to a Kindle. Yes, you get pretty graphics and colour pictures, but that's only useful if you read picture books. The screen isn't sharp enough for lengthy reading of proper text and the backlighting is horrible. Kindle rules, ok: no competition whatsoever if you actually read proper books. And the ipad is way too heavy and clunky for extended reading of anything. Try reading a book in bed with it.
- iTunes: this remains a truly appalling piece of software, which drives me nuts almost every time I use it. Lazy coding, poor testing, witless and inexplicable behaviour. Die, iTunes, die.
- price: is it really worth the money? Hmmm ... okay, I bought one, but it is still hard to justify. But then the surfing is stunning ...
- apps: most of them are pointless garbage or at best entertaining for a few minutes only. And please, "app" as a term is a contraction of "application", not "Apple" as I heard one numpty journalist claim recently.
- why hasn't it got infra-red capability; it would be the very best all in one remote control in the universe.
- Flash, obviously; a prime case of overwhelming Apple arrogance. Imagine the reaction if it was Microsoft being this perverse.

Summary:

It's unputdownable as a browser, and has many other party tricks up its sleeve. At its best it is undoubtedly brilliant. Is it going to replace your desktop or laptop? No, of course not, unless you are a very light weight user who just surfs and writes the odd mail and reads comics.

So in some respects it is a very expensive, quite sexy toy, that like so many other Apple products dazzles up to a point but shows some cracks when you dig deeper.

Last comment for the Jobbies: please remember that Apple is just another corporation, that exists to milk us all dry, exactly like Microsoft - except MS produce better code, as against Apple's better designs. Apple want to dominate the market, thus their constant obsession with locking us into their products and formats, they are not a charity, not a religion and are not here to save the world. Just another huge company making lots of profit and paying poor people in the third world a pittance to make expensive Western toys with a huge profit margin. Stop drooling and get some balance, please.

By keribillen TOP 500 REVIEWER
Bought mine as an experiment for work, with some concerns over its usefulness, for a healthy discount and a standard Apple case included.
At the time, several months ago, it had iOS3 installed.
My skepticism seemed well-placed, because I struggled to find many useful apps for work. Sure, there was DropBox, basic email, and various (flawed and basic) word processors, but that seemed to be about it.
Of course, we found loads of apps for the kids, and they have loved it ever since. It has been fantastic for teaching numbers, animals, shapes, colours, letters, and so on, to our 2-yr old daughter.
Nevertheless I considered selling it on.
Then iOS4 was released, and for me this changed things a lot: the multi-tasking features made it considerably more useful, especially for work: now if I was listening to internet radio I could leave the app and start something else without the music fading. OR I could leave Skype/Fring running in the background when writing an email.
Finally I then found some very good apps that made it worthwhile: some useful work apps (even TeamViewer, where I can remotely access and control a colleague's networked PC/Mac anywhere in the world), more educational stuff for the kids, some fantastic newspaper apps (FT, The Economist, to name but two), and various reference apps (science, cooking, languages). The one app I found recently that I love is 'Air Video', which allows you to connect remotely to a PC/Mac on your home network (even if not at home) and stream movies from it: it works flawlessly!

I had an iPhone at the time I bought the iPad. Soon after iOS4 started working on the iPad, the iPhone started to feel fiddly and restricted. The much bigger screen and far superior battery of the iPad made the iPhone obsolete in my life. I therefore got rid of the iPhone and replaced it with a cheap Nokia with a much longer battery life.
So, the iPad has found a niche in my working day: it is my device for everything mobile except making phone calls from my O2 account (that is what the Nokia is for). For general purpose computing at home or a remote office, I have a MacBook Pro, which is of course a considerably more powerful machine that does many things that the iPad never will. But this is not such an easy computer to use on the move (e.g. on a plane or train), and this is where the iPad comes in very handy indeed. On the move, I now use my iPad over the superb '3' network in the UK, via a 'Mifi' dongle.

Other stuff which the iPad does brilliantly but is not well publicised:
Sat Nav: I run Navigon on it quite successfully.
Television: via the TVCatchup streaming service, or via iPlayer, it makes a fine portable TV.
Portable Radio: lots of useful internet radio apps.
Portable speakerphone: I use Fring and Skype for this functionality, and very well it does it too (better than the iPhone actually, because I think the iPhone's processor would struggle a tad with this).
Stuff I think could easily be improved:
1) The email app has handy features but I find it unforgivable that not even the font can be changed. Hopefully iOS5 will solve this.
2) The various word processors available are still very basic. For me, Office2 HD is the best.
3) iOS4 was buggier than iOS3 when it first came out (problems seem resolved now).

If you don't need
1) All-day battery life,
2) The processing power of a high-end laptop,
3) Fancy apps like 'Air Video' and 'The Economist',

then a light laptop like the MacBook Air makes a viable and much cheaper alternative than MacBookPro+iPad.

Buy it 18 Oct 2010
I was a little unconvinced before i bought this with its size and its usefulness.

But after using it for just a few weeks i have found it amazingly useful. When you can't be bothered to wait for you computer to boot up it its just there turning instantly on for you to surf webpages in amazing detail. The videos have made every flight i have made a much easier experience
