1. The iPad is a
tablet computer (平板电脑) designed and developed by Apple. It is particularly
marketed as a platform for audio and visual media such as books, periodicals
(期刊), movies, music, and games, as well as web content. At about 1.5 pounds (680
grams), its size and weight are between those of most contemporary smartphones
and laptop computers. Apple released the IPad in April 2010, and sold 3 million
of the devices in 80 days. 2. The iPad runs the same operating
system as iPod Touch and iPhone. It can run its own applications as well as ones
developed for iPhone. Without modification, it will only run programs approved
by Apple and distributed via its online store. 3. Like iPhone
and iPod Touch, the iPad is controlled by a multitouch display-a break from most
previous tablet computers, which uses a pressure-triggered stylus (触控笔). The
iPad uses a Wi-Fi data connection to browse (浏览) the Internet, load and stream
media, and install software. Some models also have a 3G wireless data connection
which can connect to GSM 3G data networks. The devices is managed and
synchronized (同步) by iTunes on a personal computer via USB cable.
4. An iPad has different features and applications one can use to execute
different and interesting things. There are lots of iPad applications that the
owner can use to enhance the way they communicate. Some of these are how to use
social networking sites and other online options. One of the most common uses is
for e-mail services, ipand applications like Markdown Mail allow the adoption of
specific and particular options. They enable the owner to personalize their
email accounts. 5. While the iPad is mostly used by consumers
it also has been taken up by business users. Some companies are adopting iPads
in their business offices by distributing or making available iPads to
employees. Examples of uses in the workplace include lawyers responding to
clients, medical professionals accessing health records during patient exams,
and managers approving employee requests. A survey by Frost Sullivan shows that
iPad usage in workplaces is linked to the goals of increased employees
productivity, reduced paperwork, and increased revenue.
