Box Off My Computer

Ipads are 'tablet computers' made by Apple.

A tablet computer or simply a tablet is a complete computer squeezed into flat touch screen that uses only a stylus, digital pen or fingertip as the primary input device (instead of a keyboard or mouse).

Ipads first appeared in our shops in January 2010. Even though prices range from £429 to over £800 each Apple still managed to sell three million of them in 80 days and so they're proving rather popular. Ipad is particularly marketed as a platform for audio and visual media such as books, movies, music, and games and web content.

A Few Good Points About Ipad

- It's as light as a feather... compared to most laptops.

- Good for ebooks and newspaper reading.

A Few Bad Points About Ipad

- Does not support flash

- No multi-tasking which is very dissapointing. You can only use one application at a time.

- No USB connection option. In fact the ipad only has an ipod connector. This limits what you can plug into it and means you have to use adaptors for most things.

- No SD card slot for your photo cards.

- No Camera, huff.

- No CD or DVD Drive.

- Ipad doesnt have a huge storage drive.

- Ipad only runs Apple Apps which is a pretty poor performance.

- The battery cannot be replaced.

- No widescreen capabilities.

- The list goes on.
