What is an iPad? The essentials explained

Website design By BotEap.comWhat is an iPad? Simple answer: it’s a cross between a smartphone and a laptop, at least in size and weight. An iPad is classified as a tablet and is designed and marketed by Apple. It has a multi-touch screen, which means that it has the ability to recognize the presence of two or more points of contact (the fingertips) with the surface. This makes it very easy to do things like resize photos on the screen. You can easily access a wide range of content such as: books, movies, music, games and all kinds of web content. The iPad launched in April 2010, and within three months Apple had sold more than three million units. During 2010 almost 15 million iPads were sold worldwide. These huge worldwide sales were due to the fact that businessmen and all kinds of professionals liked the iPad almost as much as all the media junkies it was made for.
