Lining Up for the iPad
With a launch date still unconfirmed, it would not be a good idea to start camping out in front of stores just to get your hands on the latest Apple touch screen tablet device. Still, if you really have to own the tablet on the very first day that comes out, it might be a great thing to know beforehand that Apple’s retail outlets will not be the only places in the UK where the much anticipated gadget will be available.
Major retail company DSGi has announced that they will be offering the Apple iPad in their online and retail stores once the device is available. This means that in addition to Apple’s outlets, you can also opt to head over to the nearest PC World or Curry’s store to get the tablet. There are 139 stores to choose from across the UK –though stocks per each store are still an unknown quantity.
Hopefully, Apple is more prepared to meet the global demands for the iPad as opposed to their sales performance in the United States (while the device easily reached 1 million in the first month of sales, they stocks quickly run out –forcing the worldwide launch date to be pushed back by a full month).
The iPad comes with an impressively large 9.7 inch capacitive touch screen with a resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels. It also has multi touch support and an accelerometer. Overall, it is a great tool for browsing the internet as most websites are more easily navigated by touch. The device is light and easy to carry, the iPad makes for an excellent book reader as well.
Browsing the internet and reading eBooks are not the only functions available on the iPad; you can also play media files such as music and video as well as run iPod Touch and iPhone apps as well.
