iPad Review - Basics |
|
|
Wow! This is really cool! Greatest thing since sliced bread!
|
|
|
These were some of my original thoughts when I first used an iPad. But what about the details? Was I too quickly dazzled by the glitz?
|
|
|
So let’s look at some of the details, features, and concerns.
|
|
|
The new iPad was released April 2, 2010. It’s slick, sleek, great graphics, easy to use.
|
|
|
The 9.56’’ x 7.47” iPad is ½” thick and weighs 1.5 – 1.6 lbs., depending on the version.
|
|
|
The 9.7” touch driven screen has a resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels at 132 pixels per inch (ppi). It has a LED Backlit display and a 178 degree viewing angle.
|
|
|
The aluminum case includes 3 buttons: home, power, and a volume rocker. There is also a speaker, headphone jack, and 30 pin connector.
|
|
|
It is powered by a 1GHz processor. The lithium polymer battery is designed to last 10 hours.
|
|
|
There are six versions of the iPad. The main differing factors are the size of the hard drive (HD) and whether it is available on AT&T’s 3G network. The price is driven by these factors.
|
|
|
For iPads with Wi-Fi access only, the prices are: 16 GB HD $499.00, 32 GB HD $599.00, and 64 GB HD $699.00. With Wi-Fi and 3G access, the prices are: 16 GB HD $629.00, 32 GB HD $729.00, and 64 GB HD $829.00.
