Is Ipad More Than A Toy?

The iPad is much more than the toy it has been touted to be.Â There is much more to it than most people realize and here are just a few of the reasons it’s more than just a toy:

It’s a Multimedia Player
Without a doubt the iPad isÂ among the cheapest yet best-performing multimedia player on the market today. It has superb software that can handle high definition videos as well as mostÂ all forms of audio, video, podcasts, TV shows, and music. For the most part, having all these functions is more than worth for the $499 buyers will have to dole out for the device.

An E-Reading Device
TheÂ iPad it is said, is one of the biggest threats to Amazon’s Kindle. Despite Kindle’s dedicated capabilities for e-reading, many Kindle users have already joined the iPad bandwagon to switch from the 1.2 pounds eBook reading Kindle DX to 1.5 pounds consolidated multimedia device that can fare as well as Kindle in its function.

Lots Of Apps To Use
With over 200,000 apps for the user to mull through, there is no bull when they say “there’s an app for that”.Â Most likely, there is!

Wi-Fi
Of course the Apple iPad is wi-fi ready, so if you have a connection you’re all set.

3G Connection

Can’t find aÂ Wi-Fi hotspot, that’s ok, apple integrates 3G with its iPad. Like it’s smaller sibling â€“ the iPhone, iPad can connect to AT&T’s 3G network. What is so remarkable about thisÂ is that it does not bind users with long-term contracts. Activate or deactivate your 3G connection whenever you want, iPad and AT&T’s partnership is purely customizable.

Video Hosting Sites
The lack of flash in iPad isÂ a monumental drawback, but download an app and you can have this problem resolved in no time. Although for now, the application is only applicable for YouTube other applications are expected to be available very soon.

Browsing the Web
iPad uses Apple’s Safari, the same browser that iPod Touch and Mac use, only with iPad, the features are enhanced to accommodate the touch screen technology of the device.

Bluetooth
Apple’s iPad takes advantage of external devices that connect via Bluetooth. Soon retail stores will be flooded with anything iPadÂ from Bluetooth keyboards to Bluetooth headsets.
