iPad Touch Stats and Review.

// February 3rd, 2010 // Tech

Weighing in at 1.5 lbs with a 9.7in display Apple revealed the iPad at the keynote January 27, 2010 – I was like another money making product from Apple and does anyone really need this.  Yes I was skeptical.  So I’ve taken some time and researched it’s benefits a bit and can only think of 3 major benefits to me.

1. Reading digital books, magazines.  Finally I will be able to read local newspapers and e-books.  Have you tried reading them on your iphone yet? It’s not easy.

2. The Maps application looks so good.  Again instead of a small GPS screen you could have your ipad sitting on the seat next to you with a nice big map pointing you in the right direction.

3. Memory and battery life. The iPad has a 10 hour battery life, nuff said. (See my earlier posts on the iphone)

Will I rush out to buy this? Not at this time but I am sure I will see a lot of users hitting the local coffee shops with their new ipads surfing.
