ipad

After a long speculation over how apple will jump in and grab the market share of the netbook or tablet technology,finally,the company has released its latest gadget by positioning the product in the middle-between a smartphone and laptop and calling it 'iPad'.Physically,it looks like a big size ipod touch and obviously employs what seems to be the adaptation of line and material of unibody MacBook Pro.While the price is not as expensive as many expected,Apple's boasting rhetoric is that their netbook is nothing but a cheaper version of a laptop that can't do anything better than the more expensive ones.However,iPad shares the same operating system with iPhone,and the ability to share the same software,allowing better performance in net serving,emailing,movies and music intake than both a smartphone and laptop.In addle also provides e-book selling service called iBooks Store to support its latest member of the family.

With iPad and the claim of being the world's largest manufacturer of mobile devices,Apple has,once again,created a provocative impact in the territory of intelligent technology.Besides the rumble from the other mobile device manufacturers.there is also criticism of Apple and iPad's closed system and profit monopolization,which seems to discriminate software developers and users who want to adjust the system to create new possibilities.Not to mention it puts users under even more serious obligation in terms of having to buy programs and contents only from iTune,more than the time when iPhone and iPod touch were first released.(www.apple.com)
