Five of the biggest surprises IPAD
Film “Apple finally officially has a name: IPAD. IPod although a large touch screen very much what we expected, Apple introduced a number of good surprises and a few grenades. I do not mean these things are true, because the big screen and support for existing applications, iPhone. This functions as expected, in the expectation of disappointment, or who was a surprise for us. About an hour to look at the events of the day, this is my biggest revelations of five Apple Event ( plus bonus) button.
Prices: In preparation for this festival, the sounds, all prices in the map were, but most of the contributions up to $ 700 to $ 1,000 help So it was with great surprise that the IPAD only $ 499 and the 16GB model for wireless Let’s Make this view is the same price as the 32GB iPod touch for two years, and only $ 200 more than the current touch 32 GB, but in a much larger screen, faster hardware and more features. But perhaps the most important point of reference is of similar size Amazon Kindle DX, no color, touch screen and limited, it is at $ 489th If you’re not a hardcore low-cost, and ink, looks cheap compared IPAD.
Of course, if you want to spend more, you can: IPAD $ 599 and 32 GB or $ 699 and the 64GB model and $ 130 can be connected to any model supports 3G wireless.
Advances without contract unlocked, 3G: There were many rumors of 3G wireless compatibility given, but the big surprise was the opportunity to obtain IPAD 3G services. Unlike the iPhone, which is closed with a two-year contract $ 30 per month, AT & T offers two IPAD data plans: $ 15 per month 250 MB of data or $ 30 per month unlimited data. Kicker? And without prior permission, taxes and can always be activated by IPAD. Thus, for example, allow 3G before to end the long journey, and the service and back.
Of course, these plans, you will get 3G services, AT & T groans – a statement which was audible to the participants in the case of Apple. But on the other side was the surprise that the 3G model unlocked 3G send IPAD. What it means for a jump in the SIM card in another GSM and 3G AT & T to take to avoid them altogether, and use the purchase IPAD U.S. foreign prepaid SIM card. (Update: Actually, this is a Micro SIM card, that all offer today. )
Support for external editors were bad Macworld Bluetooth keyboard for the iPhone keyboard, since the first model was launched in January 2007. Although a small box to the iPhone and iPod touch an external keyboard “real writing assignments” to make the device much more useful and leave the laptop at home in the distance. Unfortunately, each new version of the iPhone OS, we were disappointed by the omission.
IPAD display – this can be a lot of work to e-mail and SMS – and the indication for iWork IPAD (see next section), there were a few publishers fingers crossed that Apple’s Macworld does not prevent this obvious function. This time, Apple has not disappointed. Not only sells a special keyboard dock, a vertical IPAD is full size (no keyboard), Apple’s aluminum keyboard, Bluetooth keyboard, but IPAD. I am very, very happy.
iWork IPAD: If IPAD is really just a little heavy users of iPods can to buy some areas of technology, public affairs – and particularly in education – buy seriously think about it. But note for iWork IPAD IPAD a device that is creating, editing and presenting lectures, charts and text documents, and creating newsletters and other documents allows the basic agreement. And means support for Microsoft Office documents that you can import and work with Word, Excel and PowerPoint. It remains, as iWork IPAD manages these files and functions are not supported, but the actual office software “,” 9 “. 7-inch screen and support for external keyboards mentioned, IPAD is a lot more opportunities than the younger brother – and for many people, perhaps replacing a laptop.
EPUB support: Most people expect a double as reader for electronic books IPAD. But note that Apple iBook IPAD application meets the standard for electronic reading EPUB good news. Adoption Digital Publishing Forum (IDPF), the form on open standards, digital books, is based EPUB allows publishers, books in the form of distribution to create, to retailers and other e-books, the use of n Does it matter what EPUB device. More and more publishers and hardware manufacturers to EPUB standard, these new measures, it is easier for publishers – big and small – for their e-books for IPAD and other e-readers.
(The questions are: Apple’s FairPlay copy buy books iBookstore used? You can import files from insecure app EPUB iBook? We are the answers to these questions in the future.)
Bono surprise IPAD: Well, then “IPAD” There have been many lists of possible names and mine. But it is a little “surprising. Like the article, one can say that IPAD is too close to the iPod, it sounds a little” a parody of the popular TV game show, directed that his name was wrong . On the other hand, I wrote: “IPAD [is] a simple game, inspired by the movie’s name is all over the world known to the iPod.” Pad is a good place for the tablet device, you can explore information and ideas. “In other words, love, of course, IPAD / hates the name. However, Apple went with him, and, in general, I think – has already come to me.
