A major benefit of the iPad is the perfect synergy between software and hardware. iOS is extremely stable and allows Apps to run optimally, fully utilising the equipment’s potential. iOS is a perfect platform for experienced users and is easy to learn for novices.
The system is based on the successful Mac OS X, with the addition of friendly Multi-Touch controls. The home screen is beautifully laid out and contains the most important applications, such as the Safari web browser, Maps, FaceTime, Messages, Mail, Calendar, Game Center, Music, and of course the App Store. The App Store offers all the applications tailored to Apple devices, with all its offerings approved by Apple staff. Currently, the App Store offers more than 800,000 applications and games of all kinds, with more than 300,000 titles designed exclusively for iPad.
With the advent of the third-generation iPad, Apple pulled a trump card in the form of a screen with four times the resolution of the iPad 2 and rival tablets. The Retina display has a resolution of 1536 x 2048 pixels. This provides about one million pixels more than Full-HD television displays, with such subtlety that the human eye cannot recognise individual pixels.
Each new generation of iPad comes in several configurations. The chipset, display, camera and the system connector are always the same within a series; differentiation occurs in the size of user-accessible memory for data and wireless mobile interfaces. If you want connectivity to the Internet from virtually anywhere, choose an iPad with integrated 3G and 4G (LTE) modules for communication over mobile networks as well as WiFi.
An iPad is a great choice if you want a closed but finely tuned tablet with a secure and user-friendly platform, ideal for immediate use without lengthy setup and familiarisation. For owners of Mac computers, iPhones or iPod touch, it is a clear choice thanks to the seamless integration between Apple devices.
