There are many reviews and much gossip about the new Apple iPad. Most of us are not familiar with iPad touch as it is a fairly new product.

Apples new venture into the tablet computer can be misleading and confusing.

One version of the iPad is quite like the iPod touch, accessing the Internet solely through Wi-Fi networks, while another version is more like the iPhone 3GS, with Internet access through the Wi-Fi and 3G cellular towers.

Both of these versions of the iPad competes with Amazon’s Kindle as a book reader, netbooks and iPods as a video player, web browser, and e-mail device, and all computers as a personal organization and content creation tool, of course with its pros and cons. Believe me, I have watched hours of iPad Videos on everything iPad.

The quality of the new iPad is excellent. The aluminium back feels great and it does not appear cheap. There is an audio jack connector for headphones, and a microphone for apps that need it. The speaker is on the bottom of the device where the “Home” button is. The audio quality is not the best and the maximum speaker volume is a bit too soft for myself. The iPad is also heavier than most people expect: at 1.5lbs to 1.6lbs.

The has a resolution of 1024×768, and it has a seemingly low pixel density compared to select high-end smartphones. In direct sunlight, you will find a good amount of reflection, overall, the iPad display is OK, especially if you are looking at an image with bright colours. The iPhone 3GS display is slightly better in direct sunlight then the iPad.

Apart from watching all the iPad Videos, I have been lucky enough to have had a look and short play with an iPad, and it was a lot more exciting then watching hours of iPad Videos.

People will get many features of IPhone and ITouch form different devices with higher specs and lower prices – but that doesn’t mean a thing better then iPad because it did exactly what people needed perfectly, millions of people have chosen the iPad over more powerful devices for the same reason.
