[ad#250 x 250 Sqr Adsense]After the big introduction of the Apple iPad, tech geeks are restlessly pacing the floor, anxiously waiting for the day when they could at long last get their hands on this device. The iPad models equipped with WiFi are expected to be sent out by late March and the 3G models will be shipped starting April. It’s no shocker actually; a person who uses Apple products are a different kind, loyal and have stayed devout to Apple.
It seems like Steve Jobs still got his touch, coming up with a product that will be flying off the shelves, no doubt. Perhaps hordes of Apple followers will meander in long lines at the nearby Apple Store, standing by for when the iPad will finally go on sale, reminiscent of the iPhone release. But with all of the buildup surrounding the iPad, will it overshadow the popularity of other ebook reading devices like the Kindle and Sony Readers? In order to come to a conclusion, let’s check out the iPad closely.
The device doesn’t come cheap with prices starting at $499 and topping out at $829, and why wouldn’t it be more than a bit pricey? True, the Apple iPad is an ebook reader but it does a great deal more than that It looks like an over-sized iPhone, minus the phone functions. You’ll be able to watch high-def movies, stream TV shows, browse the internet, and play games on it. The humongous 9.7-inch IPS touch screen stays true to Apple’s high clarity standards. It is equipped with a storage capacity of 16 GB, 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive.
With such storage capacity, this device will obviously hold a library much larger than your typical ereader. Books are coolly arranged on a “book shelf”. You’ll simply tap the book you want, and enjoy reading it on a high-resolution, LED backlit screen. It also runs special apps created for the iPad, and also many of the 140,000 applications from the App store.
Here’s a setback, however. The iPad will only be associated to Apple’s own ebook store, and these books are usually not compatible with the Kindle and other ereader market dominators. If you have an ample collection of ebooks already on another ereader, you’ll have trouble reading them on the iPad. While it remains not confirmed as yet, rumor has it that iBooks will sell for $12.99 and $14.99.
The Apple iPad is portable, lightweight, and most likely really fun to use. But if you don’t need all of the “other stuff”, the ereaders on the market now will do just fine. But if you are a true-blue Apple fanatic, then Jobs and his team have manufactured yet another brilliant product for consumers. With fantastic clarity and capabilities, you will “iLove” this multi-tasking gadget. The Apple iPad will match flawlessly with your MacBook Pro, AirPort Express, Magic Mouse and iPhone.
While the iPad is a truly revolutionary device that’s in a class all its own, it’s doubtful to replace the Amazon Kindle as the top ebook reading device in the market.
