For first-time iPad users, they found the multimedia device as just like a big iPhone with its features the same as its predecessor’s. The iPad’s advantage over the iPhone is its size and functionality which is perfect for business and academic professionals. The multimedia device also appeals to information technology professionals who like to have fun while working at the same time. Discussed below are the things you can do with iPad applications that you cannot do on any device.

Using the Safari web browser, the iPad allows you to view whole pages in portrait or landscape on the large Multi-Touch screen.

The iPad offers you the experience to see and touch your email in ways you never could before using its split-screen view and expansive onscreen keyboard.

Pictures can be viewed on the iPad by tapping the albums. They can also be flipped one by one or be played as a slideshow.

Watching high-definition movies, television shows, podcasts, music videos and more can be done on the iPad’s 9.7 inch high-resolution screen.

A YouTube application is designed specifically for the iPad which allows easier searching of videos.

With regard to music experience, the iPad lets you reach out and touch your songs, and view your album at full size.

Another iPad application is the iBook which offers you the chance to turn pages with a flick with text looking crisp and bright. The iBookstore offers new books to buy from. All you need is the free iBook application to get started.
