iPad

This week there were many news flashes about the iPad. This new Apple device was introduced on 27 January in San Francisco. Up to now, the iPad is only for sale in the United States. At the end of April the device will available in several European countries, including England and Germany. When the iPad will be available in the Netherlands is unknown.

What are the possibilities of the iPad? Well, you can use it to send e-mails, to surf on the internet, to play games or to watch movies , to listen to music, to download and read e-books, newspapers and other media and to write by means of a virtual keyboard. The iPad has an electronic gyroscope which determines in which position the device is located. Furthermore, the iPad is very fast and is lighter and handier than a laptop. It is not possible to call or to make pictures or videos with the iPad.

The iPad was topic of many interviews this week, I read one today in a local newspaper. Two days ago, the device was subject of the Dutch TV show “De Wereld Draait Door”:
