Maybe it was bound to happen: after releasing the iPod and iPhone, Apple has recently unveiled another product in its “i” series: the iPad. The iPad is a “tablet computer” whose function greatly resembles Apple’s iPod Touch. Basically, a tablet computer is what it its name suggests: a flat mobile computer with a touchscreen or an electronic pen. Apple plans to release the WiFi version of the iPad in March of 2010, and the WiFi + 3G model during the following month.

iPad Pros

1. Look and feel.

One of the main benefits of the iPad is that it has the fantastic look and feel, which it shares with the iPod and iPhone. If you liked how those previous products fit into your hand, then you’ll definitely be pleased with the iPad. The touch-screen interface complements the larger screen well, allowing you to conveniently use the array of iPad applications.

2. Speed.

In this Information Age that we live in, we need a constant flow of information. With the iPad, you can easily surf the Net, open various applications, resize windows, and so on. In fact, users will be delighted at how quickly and easily they can use the cornucopia of applications that the iPad has to offer.

3. iWork.

With Apple’s iWork office suite, work can actually become fun. Whether you need a word processor, spreadsheets, or presentation software, iWork can make your work convenient and convenient. This feature makes the iPad more than a mere gadget for surfing the Net or playing games. Of course, the iPad’s games still remind us of that saying about “all work and no play”.

4. Flexibility.

The iPad basically fuses some of the best elements of the iPhone and laptop computer. For instance, the larger screen provides more applications than you’d have with the iPhone. And whether you want to flip through pictures, music, or video, you can do it much more easily on the iPad, than via a laptop.

iPad Cons

1. No flash video.

With the iPad, Apple has tried to maximize the efficiency of Web surfing and multimedia functions. But one of the results is the lack of flash video embedded in the web pages. You’ll feel that something’s missing in your Web browsing-because it is!

2. Battery life.

The official word from Apple is 10 hours. But if you’re extensively using applications such as video, expect that figure to be significantly lower.

3. Multi-tasking (or lack thereof).

In particular, the IPad lacks a webcam, or even a basic digital camera!

4. Unoriginal name.

You could have guessed its name before Apple supplied it.

Basically, if you were a fan of the iPod and iPhone, then you’ll likely love the iPad. If you’re not one of those people, then the iPad might be an iFlop.

After being launched worldwide on 3rd April 2010, iPad already noticed a huge number of customers brave out to buy Apple’s new device i.e. iPad. When the world of technology is abuzz with the new ‘iProduct’, can India be far behind? It is expected that Apple’s iPad would create a new user segment in the market of India soon. But when will it come to India?
Many tablets have already debuted in the market and we can easily say it is the time for tablet revolution. The concept of tablet PC, so far, is not very popular among Indian consumers, so iPad needs to go through this mass market hassles.
Experts say that this tablet category device would create a niche market for itself and Indian users are waiting for that product, which would emerge as a lifestyle product, and obviously not a mass product in India. 
Right after the launch of iPad, doubts and expectations have arisen from various corners. Would iPad outsell the iPhone? Will other tablets dethrone iPad? Even after all these doubts, market analysts say it seems like Indians are waiting for the iPad. But Apple has hardly responded to the questions on the availability of iPad in India. 
The iPad helps the users to browse the web, go for emailing, share photos, watch videos, listen to music, play games, read e-books and much more. But, the downside of iPad is, beside these intelligent features, it cannot multitask and doesn’t have an external keyboard, disk drive or a USB drive. So, according to market experts it can be a niche product rather than for the masses. It would create a new class who are always crazy for lifestyle products, and an Apple fan!
Some other experts doubt that the price sensitive nature of Indian consumer market may deter iPad from being a hit in Indian market. They are also concerned that iPad may remain limited only to the upper middle class segment in India. But at the same time it is true that iPad would face a challenge for several other branded laptops and tablet devices, which offer same features at the same range of price. So, Indian consumers may think twice before they invest in an iPad. Although, many people hope that the secret of this device’s success in India may lie in iPad applications and features that may take away the need of carrying hefty laptop.  
Of course, the naysayers may remark that iPad is not appropriate for Indian market, but the reality shows that there is a curiosity, an interest and intent. Crazy users may hope that Apple would plan for thousands of utility iPad applications to make it more popular. But how much of craze can be converted to sales – we would like to leave that to Apple. 
Meanwhile most of the iPhone and iPad Application development companies in India have already created various iPad applications. For the crazy users, e-Book iPad application would be interesting through which Users can easily access the newspapers, magazines through iPad.

Considerably, nowadays that the dust has settled in San Francisco and Steve Jobs is done giving his much talked about iPad to the world, there is a good deal to reckon and reflect. The media hoopla ringing the iPad first appearance was zero short of prominent, but in the end many peoples were gone away feeling let down and posed by the new Apple production that looks like an over-sized iPhone and that proffers practically the same features.

Was it Apple’s intention to criticise the ebook referee, more specifically, the Kindle off its axises and direct it spinning into eternity? Partly possibly. Or was the Apple iPad created as an endeavor at pioneering a whole new class of electronics? Rattling belike, yes, studying how the iPhone poohed pooh an integral revolution in what we like a shot call in the smartphone category. The iPhone is afterall, the top merchandising cellular telephone ever.

The head that is waylaying out thither (and being hashed out with mania justly like a shot) is whether or not the Apple iPad be the ‘Kindle Orcinus orca’? Intermission and see for a instant, if you will, the fact that there are twelves of fresh, groundbreaking digital reviewers poised to enter the market place in the very nigh future. Asus, e.g. who truly agitated things up by enclosing us to its cheap line of rattling open netbooks or miniskirts laptop computers as they are called, is before long to secrete a lineup of electronic readers that are going to cost well less than the Kindle or yet the top-selling Sony Readers. The novel Asus ereaders are packed with characteristics that may very well position the Kindle to pity. Therefore, back to the interrogative of whether the Apple iPad is the ‘Kindle sea wolf’, it is tentative. Kindle should be watching its back aright today and not for the iPad but for the new e-reader devices that are en route.

Certain, the iPad is very something. The touch screen looks astonishing and play on the device should be a gust as should browsing the web. But, there are a whole fate of peoples out there who do not desire a device that can perform a people of routines. Many serious lectors out in that respect merely do not care to be carked by having a browser on their ebook reading device for instance. Sort of, they need the convenience of an e-book lector that grants them to store an integral library of books and not practically more.

This twelvemonth is certain to convey Virago’s Kindle a whole agglomerate of hassle in the contest section and not necesarily from the iPad. Erstwhile a couple of of great new ereaders in conclusion embark the market place and it is identified that they are even as good looking and capable as the Kindle and Sony, things will for certain change. Consumers will be proffered spectacular devices at practically lower damages than what is available today.
