IPAD
First of all I would like to mention that I have worked on this assignment by myself and “Attention; I pad it is not a new invention, it’s an updated version of Newton and Newton was invented in 1993 by Apple”.
For this assignment I did lots of reading and researching about the product "IPAD" and also I bought one after doing this assignment because I thought it might be good for my business presentations.
I have chosen the one of the most popular electronic device at the moment in the global, which is I PAD’s. There two types of I pad’s, first I pad 1st generation and I pad 2nd generation “. Apple recently announced of the iPad was easily the most anticipated tech news of the year. For the research assignment on electronic device I pad I like to start with giving a statistics this statistics to prove how is the electronic object is popular.
| · Timeline & Sales · - April 8th – 450,000 iPads Sold total 5 days after launch, 3.5 Million -- iPad Apps and 600,000 iBooks downloaded · - June 21 – 3,000,000 iPads in 80 days |
“This statistics shows that to me the product did very good.”
History
The IPad project started in 1993 by then it wasn’t called iPad it was called The Newton. When Phil Becker saw that the Internet (which first opened to commercial traffic in 1991) was fast becoming a game that only large corporations were allowed to join. His vision was a simple device with easy configurations that allowed an average person to not only connect to the Internet, but have the same power and ability the much larger corporations enjoyed It took two more years of dedicated development and field testing to fully realize the IPAD as a commercial product. The first units shipped late in 1995 and allowed small ISP businesses to appear almost overnight.
I pad is like iPhone and iPod Touch, the iPad is controlled by a multitouch display a departure from most previous tablet computers, which used a pressure-triggered stylus—as well as a virtual onscreen keyboard in lieu of a physical keyboard. The iPad uses a wireless local area network ("Wi-Fi") connection to access local area networks and the Internet. Some models also have a 3G wireless
What is the Product
This product is design for everyone who can see main thing about iPad is very light and think also touch screen and battery life is lasting around 10 hours...so there is no age limit there is something for everyone like watching movies listening music’s playing games, reading books relieve your photo memories and more. There over millions of apps you can choose and download it from.”You can’t download all because no one has launched that big hard drive yet”.
The iPads is a line of tablet computers developed and marketed by Apple Inc. and designed by Jonathan Ive primarily as a platform for audio-visual media including books, periodicals, movies, music, games, and web content.the i pads are approx size of A4 paper maybe a bit smaller that and 40 or 50 pages thick “0.5mm” ”. The iPads runs the same operating system as the iPod Touch and iPhone and can run its own applications as well as iPhone applications. Without modification, the iPads will only run programs approved by Apple and distributed via the Apple App Store (with the exception of programs that run inside the iPad's web browser). Once you pick up iPad , it’ll be hard to put down. That’s the idea behind the all-new design. It’s thin and up to light, so it feels more comfortable in your hands. And it makes surfing the web, checking email, watching movies, and reading books so natural, you might forget there’s incredible technology under your fingers. Lets talk about little more about iPads and see what inside it...
Let's get in more to ipads and look at it closer;
Ipad has LED-backlit display “The view is amazing.”
IPad is one big, beautiful display — 9.7 inches of high-resolution photos, movies, web pages, books, and more. LED backlighting makes everything you see remarkably crisp, vivid, and bright. Even in places with low light, like an airplane. And there’s no wrong way to hold iPad. It’s designed to show off everything in portrait and landscape, so with every turn (even upside down), the display adjusts to fit. Because it uses a display technology called IPS (in-plane switching), it has a wide, 178° viewing angle. Hold it up to someone across the room, or share it with someone sitting next to you, and everyone gets a brilliant view.
One of the best thing about ipad,it has Multi-Touch."Everything’s at your fingertips".
Technology is at its best when it feels completely natural, almost like there’s no technology at all. That’s Multi-Touch on iPad. You use your fingers to do everything, so everything you do — surfing the web, typing email, reading books, and swiping through photos — is easier and a lot more fun. How does it work? When your fingers touch the display, it senses them using electrical fields. Then it instantly transforms your taps, swipes, pinches, and flicks into lifelike actions. Just like that.
Ipad has iOS 4in it whish is the world’s most advanced mobile operating system.
iOS 4 is the operating system for iPad (along with iPhone and iPod touch). It lets you browse, read, and see everything just by touching the screen. It includes all the powerful, innovative, and fun built-in apps you use every day, many times a day. And it’s the platform on which more than 90,000 other amazing apps have been created for iPad. It’s highly secure, stable, and responsive, and it’s made to work seamlessly with the iPad hardware. iOS 4 is the reason no other device has yet come close to iPad.
And also iPad knows your every move.
With the built-in accelerometer, you can rotate iPad to portrait or landscape, or even upside down, and whatever you’re watching, reading, or seeing adjusts to fit the display. And now the accelerometer, three-axis gyroscope, and compass all work together. They sense which direction iPad is heading and how it’s moving. So games, maps, and other apps know your every twist, turn, tilt, and 360. It’s an epic win for gaming. And it’s just the beginning of better-than-ever iPad apps.
In ipad 2 they have inserted Two cameras.
You’ll see the two cameras on iPad — one on the front and one on the back. They may be tiny, but they’re a big deal. They’re designed for FaceTime video calling, and they work together so you can talk to your favorite people and see them smile and laugh back at you.3 The front camera puts you and your friend face-to-face. Switch to the back camera during your video call to share where you are, who you’re with, or what’s going on around you. When you’re not using FaceTime, let the back camera roll if you see something movie-worthy. It’s HD, so whatever you shoot is a mini-masterpiece. And you can take wacky snapshots in Photo Booth. It’s the most fun a face can have.
Applications
The iPad comes with several applications, including Safari, Mail, Photos, Video, YouTube, iPod, iTunes, App Store, iBooks, Maps, Notes, Calendar, Contacts, and Spotlight Search. Several are improved versions of applications developed for the iPhone or Mac.
Recognition
