Anyone who has ever wondered what grounds he should put an iPad to be - he has a hard time. A great "gadget", but what catches you so usefully on? Here it is not a matter for a task to buy a device, but to find tasks for the device, when the technology enthusiasts has only to hit times. The iPad is a device between your phone and notebook, but it replaced them none. It is not able to take pictures, easy to exchange data between devices and it provides for office applications only a fraction of the functions available on a notebook. But one thing is certain. It's the perfect game console. After I bought my unit, it was first disappeared for weeks in the nursery. Alone for the shining eyes of children, already worth the purchase. Car racing games and skill games make it right by the sensor control fun and the software market now holds some games ready that can be played too far (air hockey, tank, ...). Also the simulation genre (eg Sims) comes through the big screen particularly well. With the second generation of the iPad likely be music programs (Piano, Drum Master, ...) "playable". At present, the latency between Touch and audible sound is still clearly visible in order to have fun can. Bluetooth also offers the possibility, iPads or iPads and iPhones to connect to jointly "gamble" a game. Conclusion: The iPad is perfect in terms of games and some traditional games consoles have seriously challenged. But the price for an iPad prevents direct rolling over the competition. A serious or productive use, for example in the office everyday is, however, still in the stars. An additional and serious application possibility I would like to mention yet - a guide for seniors, especially for Alzheimer's sufferers. Per additional button in the Screen Lock mode can be direct with images (simple, it is not) and show the images either everyday objects, family members or other beautiful memories that we need to get for the Alzheimer's sufferers. The simplicity of operation raises the iPad clearly from the Android competition in the tablet area.
