New Design — This iPad is a full 20% thinner, but don’t expect it to be flimsy! It features an incredible aluminum body along with an enclosure that feels solid in your hand. You can’t ask for much more in terms of the latest tablet technology.
9.7 Inch Retina Display — Featuring more than 3.1 Million pixels, this device provides incredibly sharp text as well as highly detailed photos. In fact, this display provides a million more pixels than your HDTV!
A7 Chip — This is an Apple exclusive chip design which features a dual-core CPU called Cyclone, and integrates a graphics processing unit(APU). This is important to both the casual and hardcore user as it will permit them to surf the web faster, provide a more responsive display, and of course allow the user to play the most advanced games if they so desire.
Apps — As with the previous incarnation of the iPad, the user will have access to the authorized App store, and of course a host of pre-installed applications. For example, you can utilize the instant messaging applications, photo editing, presentation builders, document editors, and any number of other applications.
Contrary to popular belief, the iPad is not a toy, nor is it a Palm Pilot from the days of old. Instead, it is a full featured handheld Apple PC that gives us the functionality we need whether we are at home or on the go! In addition to that, the iPad generally features a 4G option, meaning you can pay a small service fee to have wireless internet wherever you are.
In addition to providing productivity functions, the iPad can also play many of the latest games, and most importantly, it can utilize many of the most popular media platforms including Netflix! With the iPad you will be able to watch your favorite shows, play your favorite games, and keep in touch with all of your friends. Of course, you can also listen to music, which is what the iPods were first created by Apple for, and now iPad’s carry on the tradition.
It might be a bit pricey, but the iPad provides us with an all-in-one entertainment solution that we have never quite had access to in the past. If you’re ready to open the entertainment floodgates, then you’re ready to head to Walmart’s website and take a look at the iPad options available to you. Once the iPad Air is finally released, you will have a handheld solution that meets your needs in any way you can imagine! It’s time to stop being tied to that living room computer, and become fully mobile!
