To Buy Or Not To Buy Apple Ipad

By


I'll be just straight forward with my readers and my advice would be to go and buy ipad with your eyes closed, but wait .... where is the review. Well this is the review, name one good alternate to ipad that you think can be ranked as ipad killer. To be very honest there aren't any, but you certainly can create some buy naming few tablet pcs that are very unpredictable and non of them have access to app store. Dell streak has access but then it lacks other features so if you want some thing that has the following features you should wait for like 2 more years or may be less.

What is offered by ipad:

First of all there is "9.7 inch diagonal LED-backlit widescreen Multi-Touch glossy display with IPS technology. 1024 by 768-pixel resolution at 132 pixels per inch ppi". So what's so special up there..... Well no other tabloid offers multi touch display. Its an LED not LCD display. LED is far better than any thing else available these days. This is the best screen display any one could offer with current available technologies.

Whats more.....

  • 16GB flash drive with 1Ghz Apple A4 custom-designed system on a chip.
  • Wi-Fi (802.11a/b/g/n) Bluetooth 2.1 EDR technology

Weight is exactly 1.5 pounds which i agree is a bit heavy for old people.

Now comes the fun part also known as the app world. Without these apps any electronic equipment is just another complicated machine, which gets bore and bore with passage of time.

So apart from the pre-installed very cool apps. You can install other third party apps like Marvel app, ABC video player, Netflix, USA Today, The Wall Street Journal, and the New York Times,Yahoo! Entertainment, Photogene, SketchBook Pro, and Brushes and my favorite TweetDeck and this is just the start.

Wrapping up the hole ipad talk i would just say that apple ipad is worth buying. However if you need some thing with a lower price tag then below is the list of other available ipad like options that i thing are almost as good as ipad (I said almost not exactly).

Way to tell it the way it is (or not). I would love to have an ipad, but the others look very inviting also. Good hub. Maybe I'll be able to get one but I am waiting for the second version when they see what people complain about or suggest.
