Who Would Pay for iPad
iPad born, to buy or not to buy, that’s a question.
On January 27th, 2010，Apple finally unveiled its fabled tablet computer, called the iPad. This device looks akin to a large iPhone or iPod touch. It supports a 9.7 inch LCD touch-screen display, which makes use of the same multi-touch technology found on the iPhone, Apple’s Magic Mouse, and its notebook trackpads. It also has the same in-plane switching display technology that made its debut in the crop of iMacs. Thus, many people especially those who have already got an ipod touch or iphone, hold an interrogative views on making decisions of to buy or not.

However, for Apple, the position of iPad is very clear. Knowing that device with price below $400 is iPod Touch, with price above $1000 are MacBook and MacBook Pro, in the difference of more than $500, iPad does have a great stage for performing besides NetBooks.
Anyhow, from users’ point, I believe everyone has his own answer to the question of “Who Would Buy iPad?”
In fact, iPad is not purely a large version of iPhone. It also has its unique traits, such as up to 10 hours battery life while surfing the web on Wi-Fi, watching videos, or listening to music, larger screens, numerous first-party apps, etc. Combining with the common usage of : web surfing, mail, contacts, calendar, photos, music, video, game, ibooks, etc. iPad could be popular with users of needs below:
1. To be used for tourism. In a trip for one week, taking a notebook is too heavy for the tourism. By using the iPad, you can not only watch the photos shot during the trip, but also don’t need to find power cables in the airport.
2. To be used in car. During a family journey by car, we always have to take PSP or NSDL in order to get the boredom away. With an iPad, family members on the rear seat can watch even DVD movies , of course you should convert DVDs to iPad before and fix the iPad on the back of the front seat.
3. To be used in kitchen. Currently, more and more families like to put a little TV in kitchen so that no news would be missed during the cooking process. It is very difficult to set a notebook in kitchen without getting the notebook wet or saving any tiny spaces with its keyboard.iPad is the key to this confusing problem by being hanged onto the wall or put onto the table. At that time, no matter news or youtube videos, and even dvd movies convert DVD to iPad before) could be played on it. What’s more, you could use the iPad as an e-menu since it has a super large screen and powerful function of net surfing and multi-touch.
4. For students and Children use. With an accessory of blue-tooth keyboard and an up to 10 hours battery life, students can use it for taking notes and study from 8 am to 5 pm without any difficulties.If you find many good educational DVDs, you could convert them onto iPad by some iPad-optimized apps, such as Wondershare DVD to iPad Converter;, and teach your children anywhere at any time.
5. For the elderly use. iPad is very easy to use, since with poor eyesight, adjusting the size of characters on normal notebook’s HD screen is not easy, but for iPad, its zooming is very easy and swift, which is more convenient for the elderly. Moreover, the maintenance is easier than normal PC, there is no need to worry about the virus or Trojans. And with such a large screen, watching videos and e-books will be surely enjoyable.
Why iPad could triumph Macbook and Netbook ?
1. Macbook can not be connected with internets at your pleasure, which is exactly the unique selling point of iPad.
2. The average price of the Macbook is above $1000 which is much more expensive than iPad.
3. Netbook is almost the same as a cheap notebook, while iPad is a powerful entertainment table, not only with the function of net surfing but also with many unique traits and functions to meet users’ more needs.
Ok, are you clear enough now to make a decision? Like a guest in the show named Wait wait, Don’t Tell Me in NPR, when he firstly saw the iPad, he said , “ That is it ?”, after understanding more of its function, he said, “ I want one.” That’s the glamour what’s Apple always good at.
