The iPad combines Safari,mail,photos, video,youtube,itunes, ipod, ibooks, app store, maps, notes,calender, contacts,spotlight search, iwork, keynote,pages,numbers, too name just a few. This portable device weighs 1.5 pounds, has a screen 9.5 inches by 7.5 inches, and is .5 inches thick. The product combines apples best product and features into one revolutionary product.Jony Ive, Senior vice president says, one of the greatest features about this product is that you do not have to change yourself to fit this product changes to meet your needs. They have created applications made to fit the ipad and are constantly working on more. They have over 150,000 and they have have improved them tremendously from the old applications. The Large screen makes it easy to use. The screen is completely touch, and is the largest multi-touch apple has every made. There are over a 1,000 sensors in the screen. The back lighting system is LED, which gives the crispness and color quality. Another great feature is the great battery life, it gives you ten hours. Apple wanted to made sure that this advanced technology was affordable,and it is sold for $499. It is said to be the most advanced piece of technology and even considered a new category of technology. I think that product could be very beneficial in the classroom as well. I think it would be a great technology for students to have.

  1. I also think that something like this could be a great tool to use in a classroom. I would feel special if I had it in my classroom. There are so many different tools on this device. I wonder if they'll ever become popular in schools? They are cheaper than computers and can still do a lot that computers offer.
