CONTEST! Old idea, but a great one! FOLLOW @celebstyleguide 2B entered 2 WIN Apple iPad if we reach 10,000 in the next 30 days! – by gunnersjames (James )

How difficult would it be for Apple to adjust iPad to include phone, camera, Flash, multithreading?
These are the items that keep getting mentioned as the flaws on the iPad. Let’s assume Apple really wants to add those things. I know you might argue that it has an agenda not to add them, such as wanting us to keep buying iPhones, but let’s just ask this: could it, technically, add those things? How much hardware, software, processor speed, user experience would it cost?

Yesterday I mentioned TextOnPhone, an eBook web app for the Apple iPhone and iPod Touch. Here’s an eleven-minute walkthrough to give you an idea of what it offers. I specifically did this demo in a “worst-case” scenario by using EDGE, ie; I shut my WiFi radio off on the iPhone. You can see the performance of the experience, which overall, I think is very good. The application wisely caches ahead a number of pages so that you really don’t need to wait for pages to load. There are some basic user customization settings and some excellent eBook reading lists and I’m very impressed that the app remembers where you left off in a book. Overall, I was pretty impressed in the short time I’ve used TextOnPhone.

For regular people who have average interests in technologically advanced gadgets, the iPad is perceived to be just another expensive instrument from Apple. By average interests, we mean those who do not make it a point to research a newly launched product nor visit the manufacturer’s website with passion.

If they decide to visit Apple’s website, they probably have been influenced to purchase the gadget as a result of media buzz and bullish marketing. Non-techies will not think about its pros and cons just yet; what they really want to know is, what exactly is an iPad and what does it do?

The iPad is a mobile computer; it is considered to be revolutionary because it is neither a laptop nor a personal digital assistant. It is unique in its own right most especially because of its tablet frame. It is slightly larger than a netbook by an inch and it does not have a keypad. Its multi-touch screen interface is the basic input method for this device; however, it can also be docked onto a keyboard accessory for fuss-free typing. In addition to its multi-touch screen, the iPad is also programmed to be multi-oriented, so the user can tilt the frame from portrait to landscape according to his preference. Multi-touch means that the user can “tap” and “drag” two items on the display at once by using fingers.

The iPad is powered by thousands of apps that allow this device to perform at a high-speed rate. And is mainly designed for information consumption in the form of Web browsing, media, and gaming. Additionally, it can be used to create documents and similar content on a lighter level.

Apple’s answer to Microsoft Office is iWork through which documents, spreadsheets and slide-show presentations can be created. As for the entertainment apps, there are plenty to choose from.

The default browser is Safari, which also happens to be created and designed by Apple engineers. Recently, Opera Mini has become available to iPad users as an alternative Web browser.

One of the best offerings of the iPad is media consmuption. Excellent screen resolution lends justice to images, videos and e-books. The enhanced speaker system provides a great output for music and audio.

Wi-Fi and 3G powers the connectivity to the internet. It possesses the highest speed in wireless Internet technology that overrides the speed of the hotspot offered in a specific location. A 3G SIM card from a service provider must be inserted to connect to a 3G network. You can switch from Wi-Fi to 3G connection anytime once the owner has completed the 3G network service application.

App icons are used to organize the iPad display. The user can select his frequently used apps onto his Favorites section and these can be easily accessed.

It is a very interactive device, which is what all gadgets are about. Tech savvy experts suggest that consumers should wait a bit longer for the iPad to mature into the industry so we may all see what it can offer that our regular PCs and media devices cannot.
