IPAD, because that is what was called the first tablet company, is a combination of iMac to the iPhone. According to Apple’s announcement, it will be a breath of freshness in the world of mobile devices, thus ending the era of open and using aggravating netbooks desktop applications.

It will operate under the control of light and very fast iPhone OS. Also not forgotten about amenities such as pre-installed iTunes, AppStore, Google maps, YouTube app, Safari (will not be served, unfortunately, the flash!), Large and comfortable-screen QWERTY keyboard, or other applications known to the system of the iPhone (m al.: iCal, iPhoto, iCalendar, PDF viewer).

Nice addition is the integration with popular social networking portals, allowing pictures and videos will be able to quickly upload on Twitter, Facebook or Flickr, and well known to all holders of Macs, iWork application, the interface has been designed specifically for IPAD.

The newest product the company will be extremely thin (just 0.5 inches thick) and lightweight (700 grams), which means that it will be a pleasure. It is equipped with 9.7-inch capacitive IPS screen (with 1024 x 768), which provides excellent contrast and color depth. It also supports multitouch and accelerometer will allow for any rotation of the image when working with a tablet.

IPAD heart will be created specifically for their needs, Apple A4 processor 1GHz clock speeds (based on the ARM architecture). Applications, videos and music will be able to keep the internal disk capacity of 16GB, 32GB or 64GB.

On board we find also a popular wireless communications modules (WiFi, Bluetooth 2.1 with EDR, UMTS with HSDPA, A-GPS), stereo speaker, built-in microphone, light sensor, digital compass, and the battery, allowing up to 10 hours (one month in Standby!).

Pacify those who feared that the IPAD applications will not be available from the AppStore. On the tablet, we can fire up over 140000 applications currently available in the online Apple store. This number will certainly grow rapidly. Moreover, the major producers of game (Gamesoft, EA) are already working on programs that will use the high potential of the tablet.

Together with iTunes, users of a new product from Cupertino will gain access to our music and movies. Perhaps it will be soon available also in our country.

IPAD can also act as e-book reader, which we will be able to buy a new internet shop Apple’az books – iBookstore. Will contain items from publishers such as Penguin, Macmillian and Simon & Shuster (this list will certainly grow continuously), and the price of a single e-book will be about $ 15.
