Loading ...Are ebook readers about to be discarded in favor of the iPad? After the big launch of the Apple iPad, tech geeks are frantically pacing the floor, anxiously waiting for the day when they could at long last get their hands on this device. The iPad versions built with WiFi are expected to be sent out by late March and the 3G models are to be delivered starting April. It’s no shocker actually; a person who uses Apple products are a different kind, loyal and have stayed true to Apple.
It looks like Steve Jobs still got his touch, creating a product that will be flying off the shelves, no doubt. Perhaps hordes of Apple followers will meander in long lines at the nearby Apple Store, standing by for when the iPad will finally go on sale, reminiscent of the iPhone release. But with all of the buildup surrounding the iPad, will it destroy the popularity of other ebook reading devices such as the Kindle and Sony Readers? So we can come to a verdict, let’s take a look at the iPad in detail.
It’s not cheap with prices starting at $499 and topping out at $829, and why wouldn’t it be more than a bit pricey? Yes, the iPad is an ebook reader but it does a lot more than that It looks like a huge version of the iPhone, minus the phone functions. You can view high-def movies, stream TV shows, browse the web, and play games on it. The large 9.7-inch IPS touch screen is up to Apple’s high clarity standards. It comes with a storage capacity of 16 GB, 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive.
With such storage capacity, this device will obviously hold a library much larger than your average ereader. Books are cleverly displayed on a “book shelf”. You’ll simply tap the book you would like, and enjoy reading it on a high-resolution, LED backlit screen. While current iPhone and iPod Touch apps may be used on the iPad, special apps purposely developed for the iPad are expected to come out too.
Here’s a setback, though. The iPad will only be connected to Apple’s own ebook store, and these books are not compatible with the Kindle and other ebook reader market dominators. If you have a wide collection of ebooks already on another ereader, you’ll have trouble reading them on the iPad. While it is still not confirmed as yet, rumor has it that iBooks will sell for $12.99 and $14.99.
The Apple iPad is portable, lightweight, and most likely really fun to use. But if you won’t be in need all of the “other stuff”, the ebook readers on the market now will suit you just as well. But if you are a true-blue Apple fanatic, then Jobs and his group have manufactured yet another brilliant product for consumers. With amazing clarity and capabilities, you will “iLove” this multi-tasking gadget. The Apple iPad will fit perfectly with your MacBook Pro, AirPort Express, Magic Mouse and iPhone.
