The wait is over. The Apple iPad is finally here. Engadget recently reviewed the device and it seems to have impressed these guys.
Design:
The bulk of iPad’s surface is taken up by a 9.7-inch, 1024 x 768, capacitive, multitouch LED-backlit display surrounded by a glossy black bezel. There’s only Apple’s signature “home” button to interact with, and the back of the device is all aluminium.
Display:
Apple’s 9.7-inch LED backlit IPS display does not disappoint. Colors on the screen are vibrant and saturated, while blacks feel true and deep.
OS/UI:
iPad’s interface is nearly identical in every way to the iPhone or iPod touch UI. You have pages and pages made up of grids of icons, a dock for your favorite apps (up to six), and a persistent status bar which displays the time and other information.
Included Applications:
> Mobile Safari
> iBooks
> Calendar/Contacts
> Mail
> iTunes / iBookstore / App Store
> Video / iPod / YouTube
> iWork suite
Battery life:
The battery life is excellent and it turns out to be what Apple claims – around 10 hours.
