“Hold the Internet in your hands”-iPad Demo Video

Ever wondered why the Apple iPod is so popular even though there are thousands of other portable devices on the market? Well it must be the style and durability which attracts buyers. In similar fashion this April saw the release of the iPad tablet PC. Think of it as a Mac book rolled into your iPod. Easy as it may sound the technical challenges in producing this new device, called the iPad, were enormous. Apple had to essentially design a whole new operating system that is not quite the Mac and not quite the iPhone, rewrite its core applications from scratch, and basically rethink the entire way a computer operates.

Apple was not the first to release a new tablet computer, just as it was not the first to release an MP3 player or cell phone, but it may well be the company that succeeds in making the tablet computer connect with the public as its iPredecessors the iPod and the iPhone.

Apple has a tremendous head start with 140,000+ apps for the iPhone, and it wisely designed the iPad to take advantage over similar portable electronic book reading devices like the Amazon Kindle.

So let’s take a look at what’s in the iPad. Unlike the Kindle the new iPad will have Web graphic designers and artists drooling over the high resolution graphic display as they enjoy the Brushes application on the iPad’s larger screen, although some may feel that it is something like finger painting, it is definitely allot of fun.
