Apple has just launched the latest iPad. Well it looks familiar, because it seems as if Apple took the iPod Touch and makes a bigger version. The iPad contains: Music, Video, email and other common iPod or iPhone applications and seems to have been produced to rival the Amazon successful Kindle device. Both devices have e-book abilities, despite the fact that the iPad makes it easier to turn the effective page of the book because of its multi-touch ability. The Ipad 32gb was first launched in January and has received both positive and negative responses from the crowds. If you are debating on either the iPad is the correct choice for you, I can only say that I just love my 2 days old Ipad 32gb device.
I’ll try to describe here some of the positve & negative that I seen regarding the Ipad:
Pros
1. Price – begins at $499 for the 16 GB (and of course there are the 32GB and 64GB) this device is more reasonable than many other netbooks.
2. Size does matter – 9.7″ screen makes viewing photos and videos an enjoyment and it weighs less than two pounds (and is ½ inch thick).
3. The Apps – One of most attractive one is the iBooks Ereader app. A lot of developers will soon turn out to be part of the iPad rush and make new apps for entertainment, e-learning or personal use.
4. Built in GPS
5. The great safari browser incorporated – which makes surfing so much fun.
Negative
1. My latest iPad 32gb did not come prepared for 3G coverage, however rumors has it that a new upgraded device with these capacities will be sold by the end of the month for $629.
2. Built in battery however this time it lasts longer.
3. No USB port (once again we are required to use Apple’s Itune)
4. No multi-tasking - you cannot run multiple applications at the same time.
5. Still no flash in this latest Apple device.
6. No camera so you can’t use this gadget to take pictures.

Anyone with half a brain can use iPad at its basic level. Well, iPad, in fact, is very basic, even 2-year old kids can work well with it. There’s no such thing as learning curve, and definitely, if you have used an iPhone before, using an iPad for the first time is a day at the beach. It is made to be that way.
But still, even when things have already been simplified by Apple for you, there are still some things about iPad use that may take time before you know. Here are a few.
Soft Reset
Apple’s iPad does not necessarily come with an insurance that it will perform the same way it did the first time you bought it. Although there are no moving parts in the device, which generally means the device deteriorates very slowly if at all. There are still some risks though that some of its parts may not function in the long run. In case something goes awry with iPad, you can always find consolation in its Soft Reset function.
Soft Reset comes in very handy when the system freezes. It can be performed by just holding the top or power button simultaneously with the front or Home button for a couple of seconds. This will force your device to restart. Not happy with how an app is working and want to force quit it? Hold the Home button the same way, this time without holding the power button, and the device will exit any running app.

Cut- and Copy-Pasting
It’s a pain to copy long texts on iPad so Apple created an easy solution that will let you copy an entire paragraph without necessary stretching the blue knobs that appear on your screen. To do this, tap any text four times and this will highlight the entire paragraph. This trick can be done only though if you are copying an editable text. Otherwise, you’re stumped.
Importing Free eBooks
There are still some free things in this world. Free eBooks on Apple’s iBooks for example. If you want to download old books that have fallen out of copyright, you’ll find that there is an extensive collection of free eBooks downloadable on iPad. So long as you stick to the classics, you’re a happy man with iBooks.
Easy Mute
When embarrassing moments are on the horizon because you frequently forget to turn off the volume of your multimedia device, you’ll find that iPad gives you a break. It has an easy mute function that allows you to automatically turn the volume off. For two seconds, press the volume down and you’ll have peace and quiet back.
Supersized Screenshots
Now the screenshot of your driving simulator would look more like a windshield than a tiny keyhole. Take giant screenshots on your iPad by holding the power and home buttons simultaneously for half a second.
Bringing the Virtual Keyboard Back
Switching between keyboards – real and virtual keyboards – is not as hard as many people confess. You only have to hit the eject key on the real, physical keyboard to bring the virtual one up.
