Ipad App reviews

Tag Archives: apple ipad

Having lost my craze for the iphone, I was skeptical wether the Ipad would prove to be another lacklustre with time.  However after spending more than 6 months on the device it seems that apple has by far succeeded in envisaging a new category of device to not only entice its customer but also to start another corporate race to achieve superiority. 

IPAD as a Gadget –
Apple Ipad revolutionises a new category of devices progressing from the turing machines -> super computer -> personal computer ->Laptops ->Tablets and is surely here to last long.  I have avoided to name some of the trivial failures of the digital industry like personal diaries and net books. 
With 241.2×185.7×8.8 mm ( in between the small notebooks and fullscape notebooks) weighing 601g with the legacy one home button, top on/off switch and 2 cameras, mic is a valued possession. 

First Impressions –

Overview –
The Apple Ipad 2 is an extremely user friendly application which does not come with any manual and all the features are very user intuitive.  It does not have a start and shutdown ( not detailing the hard shutdown) and remains in a standby mode which awakes with a press of home button.  It is fast with no lags, multi-touch,multi tasking with background run for songs.  Pre loaded with essential apps like music,maps,videos,youtube,contacts,photos,camera. 

Gestures –
Ipad understands gestures due to the multi touch functions.  Lets have a visual demo of the same as below –

I am only showcasing the extra gestures, apart from the usual scroll up , down and side ways, zoom in & out which we all are fimiliar with. 

– switch application

– close application

– go to main menu

– App Store –

Apple controlled app store is something which really makes it stand out to its competitors with amazing set of every growing applications. 
Book Apps , Games , Maps, Weather, Navigation, Writing, Sketching, Photo Editing, Music, Social Networks, News, Mail, Stocks,Productivity … It just continues..
