Apple Ipad

The newest piece of technology for the Apple company would be the Ipad. The Ipad is very thin. What it does is you can search the web with it. (its Way better than a laptop or a smart phone.) You can turn it however you want. Sideways, upside down your right side up. it automatically adjust to your best use. See message. Turn it sideways, push the compose button and on this screen pops out a keyboard that is phenomenal to type on. Photos, your photos are placed by stacks, slide shows and more. Calendars, address book, map application, satellite view. Ipad has itunes store built into it. High Definition. Awesome to watch TV shows and movies on.
With the Ipad being like a computer but touch screen, i think this may encourage others to change the way they use technology now a days. On education i don't know how it would effect students.But I'm pretty sure it'll educate the students on how far the technology has gone. As for me I think that its cool the way that Apple created something that's smaller than a laptop but not as small as a smart phone. It looks lighter to carry around and it has a lot of the things us students use today. So i think that the Ipad will be a big hit!!
