The iPad does not reach its present cult status simply by being a pretty face. Under its cool, sleek exterior is the latest Apple user-friendly technology that enables you to make the iPad a part of your everyday living, whether at work or at home.
LED backlit IPS display - Never let your family or friends feel left out again when you want to watch a movie together on the iPad. The wide 178 degree viewing angle means that which ever way you face the iPad, you can still see the screen in its true colors and sharpness.
Multi-touch screen - Inspired by the equally popular iPhone, the super sensitive and reponsiveness of the touchscreen works accurately and reliably. Put the frustration of poor response and accuracy behind you as this multi-touch screen is truly ahead of its time, working perfectly just the way you want it.
Light and ergonomic - Leave your clunky laptop behind and get ahead with less weight on you. At only 680g, it's noticeably lighter than most laptops to improve mobility - and stylishly too! Impress your clients with the sleek iPad that turns on immediately without having to engage in small talk while waiting for the system to boot. Its long-serving batteries enjoy the same technology as the MacBook.
Wifi wireless connectivity - The iPad connects to Wi-Fi easily with just a few clicks that automatically searches out the area's ready networks via the built-in 802.11n. And if you so desire, you can connect other wireless devices such as headphones and keyboard via the Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR.
3G connectivity -No Wi-Fi? No worries since iPad is also available with 3G connectivity on either AT&T or Verizon Wireless networks. So you can still surf the internet, check email or get directions which is especially useful if you are on the road somewhere out in the wilderness.
iPad performance - The latest dual core technology is used in the A5 chip which means that the iPad is twice as fast as it was before, enabling you to enjoy noticeably faster surfing, watching movies, making FaceTime video calls, gaming and even just switching from app to app. It's multi-tasking made better.
Air Play - All the great stuff on your iPad — your music, photos, and video — can now stream wirelessly to your HDTV and speakers via AirPlay-enabled speakers or Apple TV on a Wi-Fi network.7 With just a tap on the AirPlay icon, blast some tunes, have a movie night, show off some photos, or watch YouTube. And go big.
Video Mirrorring - Video mirroring is new for iPad and for every app, web page, presentation, video, movie, or photo you want to show a big audience. Just plug in the Apple Digital AV Adapter or Apple VGA Adapter (sold separately) and your HDTV or projector becomes a bigger version of your iPad. One plug, that’s it. Everyone sees what’s on your display — even when you rotate iPad from portrait to landscape or zoom in and out on photos.
Smart Cover - The iPad Smart Cover falls perfectly into place and stays put to protect your iPad screen, yet doesn’t add bulk to its thin, light design. Open the Smart Cover and your iPad wakes up instantly. Close it and your iPad goes to sleep automatically. And here’s another smart part: It transforms into the perfect movie-watching, game-playing, web-surfing stand.
