A Quick Look at the iPad

With a 9.7 inch, 1024 x 768 multi-touch LED backlit display that takes much of the bulk of the iPad‘s surface. This is what most people love about Apple’s products, Minimal, sleek, yet very functional. Now let’s take a look at the iPad from the outside in.

The iPad Out of the Box

The packaging is as we would expect from Apple, for starters the box of the iPad has a touch of MacBook Air in it. If you love the MacBook Air or other MacBook products, you will surely fall for the box of the iPad. Moving onto the inside, the box is the iPad itself, a thin information packet, which you would probably not use at all because even 2-year-old kids can understand the simplicity of the device, a wall power charger, and the famous USB 30-pin dock connector. If you have opened any Apple devices before, you are at home with these things.

The iPad’s Size and Weight

The best comparison is Amazon’s Kindle DX, not identical, but very near. iPad measures 9.56 inches in height, 7.47 inches in width and .05 inch in thickness. It weighs 1.5 pounds for the WiFi model, 1.6 for the WiFi plus 3G model. In comparison, Kindle DX stands at 10.4 inches, is 7.2 inches wide, .38 inch thick, and weighs at 1.2 pounds. If the size and function of the iPad were to be used as parameters for judging whether or not iPad is better than Kindle DX, it is not a stretch to say that it is a killer. With its thoughtful eBook reading applications and the diverse selection of eBooks available for use with iPad, many say Kindle will soon be replaced with iPad.

Despite its revolutionary thickness, many people still seem to complain about the .5 inch thickness of iPad. Sure, it may feel awkward and may prove more difficult to handle in one hand for a few hours than Kindle DX, but considering how and what the device does, this is nothing more than nitpicking.

So to Summerize

It’s obvious there is no other device on the market that has what iPad has or does what iPad does. The glossy glass face alone is a winner and we have not even talked about the functions of the iPad.
