Unquestionably, you need the human touch to accomplish many things, such as cook a meal and wash the dishes afterward. For virtually everything else, there's iPad. What iPad cannot do for you physically, it can enhance with an app or expert advice from the Web. IPad combines the power of a computer with the mobility of a smartphone to conveniently serve as a personal organizer, productivity tool, communications device and entertainment center on the go.
Connects to the Internet
To deliver the Internet to you along with all its goodies, iPad latches onto a Wi-Fi network that you set up at home or onto public Wi-Fi hotspots that are typically free or inexpensive to use. An iPad Wi-Fi + 3G model can also use 3G cellular networks to reach the Web when Wi-Fi is unavailable. You can purchase 3G service as needed, on a monthly, no-contract basis.
Plays Videos and Music
With iPad, you can stream your favorite tracks, albums, artists and genres from your music library or Internet radio. You can also enjoy videos, high-definition movies, TV shows and podcasts on its high-resolution display. As you listen or watch, iPad lets you quickly switch views and selections, and rewind, pause, play and fast-forward with ease.
Delivers Books
IPad opens the door to millions of free books in the public domain, as well as paid books from major book retailers and specialty publishers. Most e-reader apps allow you to flip through pages, jump chapters, check word definitions and adjust reading fonts and color. With iPad, you can even play mood music in the background as you immerse yourself in a book.
Organizes
Using the Contacts, Calendar and Notes apps, iPad lets you manage your contacts, appointments, notes and reminders. To stay optimally organized, you can also synchronize the iPad with your computer or laptop so that changing them on one device updates them on the other devices also.
Communicates
IPad's Mail app lets you set up new and existing accounts from Google Gmail, Yahoo! Mail, AOL and other email providers. Then, you can receive and reply to all your emails on the go. Third-party apps, such as Skype and Textfree, enable you to make and receive phone calls and text messages over the Internet, often at no cost. IPad 2 comes with a FaceTime app and two new built-in cameras for up close and personal video chats.
Navigates
IPad uses its Google-powered Maps app to help you find your way virtually anywhere. You can use crisp and detailed maps to get directions, bookmark locations, get street views, search for nearby landmarks and broadcast your whereabouts.
Shops
IPad is a portal to a wealth of media, merchandise, software and services. The Safari app grants you access to virtually every favorite retailer that resides on the Web. App Store puts hundreds of thousands of apps at your fingertips, from games to productivity. ITunes Store offers up a huge and ever growing collection of music, movies, TV shows, audiobooks and podcasts.
