Apple Ipad
Apple Ipad has been launched on January 27, 2010 and before its releases many people said that it could beat kindle and also destroy nook. Can you believe that? By the way this Apple Ipad isn’t that small.
iPad is a device like a tablet PC with a 9.7-inch touch screen, but without a physical keyboard. Only half an inch thick, or about 1.34 inches and weighing 1.5 pounds or 0.68 pounds. Same operating system platform as ipod and equipped with iTunes to access thousands of applications, music, and video. In addition, Apple also added an application to access the iBook Store, that is similar service as iTunes but specializes in e-book.
Ipad can do many things better that Ipod but… Let’s see what this Ipad can’t do :

No High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI)
This means you will watching a bad quality video.
