What makes the Apple iPad highly desirable?

Awesome Interface – First of all, Apple is known to have the best touchscreen user interface in the industry. No mobile phone maker has been able to make a more sensitive or responsive touchscreen, like Apple. Kudos to them. This is one of the major reasons behind the success of the 3.5-inch screen iPhones. Now imagine that beautiful touchscreen interface on a 9.7-inch device! This is nothing short of heaven for Apple fans.

Aesthetics – Apple is also renowned for their exquisite aesthetics. Sleek and attractive, all Apple gadgets are a pleasure to behold or hold in the hands. The iPad is no exception. A neat, shiny, svelte, sleek slate is worth being the apple of the eye. It has those killer looks that woo.

App Store – Now imagine those games and apps in the App Store. People have enjoyed them on the iPhone. Now it’s the time of the iPad. The existing iPhone compatible games are made iPad compatible as well. Some games have been stretched to fit the entire screen while others which are still iPhone sized, appear in the centre of the iPad screen. However, many games and apps have been specially designed for the iPad and developers around the world are still on the venture.

Entertainment – This is one of the chief characteristics of the iPad. You can watch movies and videos on its 1024 x 768 pixels screen. You can even view photographs on it. Plus, there’s multi-touch capability to let you zoom in and out for better viewing. Hold the device either in landscape or portrait mode and the accelerometer will automatically orient the image properly for you. The device supports 180 degrees rotation of the image as well. Some of the games which involve the accelerometer usage, can definitely get you addicted. You can listen to music on the iPad as well. It has a 3.5mm headphone jack. Bluetooth is supported too.

Internet – Surfing the web and emailing can also be done on the Apple iPad. There are 2 versions – one with WiFi only and the other with WiFi and 3G. The WiFi+3G version lets you hook on to the internet whenever, wherever, as long as you get the signal.

iBook – Another special feature of the Apple iPad is its dedicated iBook Store. This slowly but steadily growing online book store presents various kinds of books that you can download.
