First hands on - Apple iPad

iPad Apple - Side and Front views

In a nutshell "the iPad with it's look and feel revolutionises the laptop or tablet pc. You control how it works with touches and gestures on the screen, this makes it so usable"

What a fantastic gadget the iPad is. If you have experienced an iPhone, then imagine an iPhone screen large enough to equal a laptop screen, but retaining the incredable look, feel and control.

The model I used was the £699 edition, with both WiFi and 3G enabled. The unit is extremley thin and lightweight. There are no cables, no mice, no keyboard. You can sit and read the newspaper, using the reduce or enlarge options on the touch sensitve screen. Indeed, you can change page by dragging your finger naturally as if you are turning a page.

You can save pdf manuals, word and excel files to transport around. You gain access to the applications that cost next to nothing, or are free to use.

Video is amazing, it is an all round multimedia experience. All the device needs now is an onslaught of games and applications.
