Yesterday was released the 'iPad of Apple .
If you like, you can find below some 'of raw information and my first impressions.
What is this?
A new tool that you place between a PDA, a netbook, an iphone, an ipod, but it's different.
How does?
A flat screen 10 'is completely touchscreen (use your fingers to control it on the screen instead of buttons), a keyboard appears on the screen when you need it.
What is it?
- surf the Internet via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and 3G (depending on model)
- manage mail
- write to take notes
- view documents (pdf, htm and html, gif, jpg, tif, doc, docx, txt, rtf, ppt, pptx, xls, xlsx, key, Pages, Numbers)
- enter appointments as an 'agenda
- manage a section of Contact
- listen to music (like an iPod, but with both headphones or speakers)
- see movies
- video and see the photographs
- read books and magazines (like an ebook reader and color)
- search for places to play and to see maps with GPS (as a navigator satellite, depending on model)
- buy directly music, videos, books and applications to do many other things (like the iPhone apps)
How big?
Approximately 24 cm high and 19 cm wide by 1.4 inches deep.
How much does it weigh?
approximately 700-750 grams.
How long does the battery last?
say 10 hours.
How much?
From $ 499 to $ 829 depending on memory (16 to 64 Gb) and the system of internet connection (just Wi-Fi or Wi-Fi + 3G) *.
When you do not know prices in other currencies.
Where can I get it?
Beginning in March or April 2010.
What's missing?
- the multitasking (ie the possibility of two or more things together), then separate read and listen to music simultaneously (this can be done), the rest can not. Strange is not it? Maybe can use push technology, but I'm not sure.
- an internal USB port (you can buy external un'accessorio)
- not play Flash content
- the webcam (you can not make video calls via VoIP, as you do with Skype for example)
- the camera (but taking pictures with a 10-inch frame seems a little 'uncomfortable)
- the camera (as above)
- slot for memory cards (not essential, but convenient, but you can buy the external accessory)
- does not make phone calls (but you try it a call in a frame attached to the ear)
- the backup is possible only through computer connected .
- can not install what you want but only what's available to Apple
- is full of DRM (ie, protection that will not allow you to have the things you buy and only use them as long as it was hired who you want)
Why do I like?
- does what he does the ipod touch (music, photos, games, videos, applications, nice), but with a larger screen
- does what a PDA: calendar, contacts, notes, calculator, etc..
- does what he does a USB key (bring along your most important files) and you can see all kinds of documents on the big screen
- can surf the Internet and use email without major restrictions, much like computer
- is small and lightweight, but a decent video
- is simple and straightforward to use
Who is it?
- the latest gadget nerd in search (I'm in pole position)
- To those who use the computer and badly. These people want to surf, chat, mail, and everything else without having to learn too much information
- Who wants to be comfortable on the couch to use the computer for fun
- Who wants to carry around your documents and take a look Internet and email, "but a PDA is awkward" (I for example)
- students and all those who need to see around and read rather than do.
- Representatives (catalogs) and doctors (medical)
IPAD is the sum the beginning of a revolution because it is not perfect, indeed, but it is the first example (after the iphone) how information technology can truly be for everyone. There is much to learn to use it, it is he who is right for you and that you will not suit him.
This is revolution, I think, or at least is the first real step towards a new world.
For this reason I wish this accessory, and those to come, long life.
Hoping to evolve abandoning DRM, proprietary systems and incompatible formats.
Obviously there are many opinions on the net. Try to read what it says Attivissimo , Wittgenstein, David Pogue, Gizmodo . Do not miss this funny video .
Note on the system of internet connection.
For the uninitiated, crudely and inaccurately describe the two systems mentioned above.
Wi-Fi means access from your laptop to a wireless network, usually in the company, at home, at the airport in a bar, etc..
While using the 3G system means using the same system that allows you to surf from your laptop with the usb stick to a telephone operator.
PS tagging this post I used almost all the items available. It will mean something?
