The iPad is the tablet computer produced by Apple, the main function of which is as a multi media platform.

Features:

The iPad is the name of the first generation tablet PC created by Apple.

The original iPad was released in April, 2010. Rumours of its existence had been circulating for several years before the device was finally released by Apple.

Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple, later said that he had begun work on the tablet PC before the iPhone. On realising that many of the functions for the tablet would also work on a phone, the work on the tablet was temporarily postponed.

Some of the key functions that are found on the iPad include:

• Wi-Fi
• 3G
• iOS 4.3.3
• Apple A4 central processing unit
• 256 MB memory
• Multi touch screen
• GPS
• 16GB, 32GB, or 64GB flash drive
• Safari web browser
• 9.7 inch high resolution screen
• Photo app
• YouTube
• iTunes
• App store
• Maps
• iBooks
• Calendar
• Up to 10 hours of battery life

The first generation of iPad has now been succeeded by the second generation of tablet PCs, the iPad 2.

Common problems:

Some of the most common problems experienced by iPad users with the tablet are:

• The Tablet will not or is slow to charge. iPads will not always charge when plugged into a laptop as they require high amounts of power. To charge the iPad via a USB, you will need to plug the tablet into a relatively new computer and even this will not guarantee that it will charge properly. The best way to charge the iPad is through a mains outlet.
• Wi-Fi connectivity problems. Some users have reported issues with the connectivity of the iPad, despite tablet showing full signal on the screen.
• The iPad fails to synch efficiently with a computer. This can be a problem with specific things such as contact lists and calendars.
• The connectivity is lost after the iPad has been on sleep mode.
• iTunes incompatibility issues. Many users report that iTunes does not recognise the iPad when it is connected to a computer.
• Issues with the backlight bleeding. This causes leaks in light around the edge of the screen or in patches on the screen.
• Some iPad users have reported dead pixels on their tablet screens.
• After the iPad was originally released, some users reported that the screen was not sufficiently glued to the rest of the tablet, thus causing it to come unstuck.
