the ipad uses the same revolutionary technology that s in an iphone. But for ipad the technology has been completely reengineered for the larger surface to make it extremely precise and responsive. So when you re zooming in on a map flicking through your photos or deleting an email ipad responds with incredible accuracy. And it does just what you want it to. Thin and light One of the first things you ll notice about the ipad is how thin and light it is. The screen is 9.7 inches measured diagonally. So overall it s slightly smaller than a magazine. And at just 1.5 lbs and 0.5 inches thin1 it s easy to carry and use anywhere. There s also a slight curve to the back. Which makes it easy to pick up and comfortable to hold. To maximize battery life Apple engineers took the same lithium polymer battery technology they developed for our notebook computers and applied it to the ipad. As a result you can use ipad for up to 10 hours while surfing the web on Wi-Fi watching videos or listening to music. Wireless With built-in 802.11n ipad can take advantage of the fastest Wi-Fi networks. And it ll automatically locate available Wi-Fi networks which you can easily join with a few simple taps. ipad also comes with Bluetooth 2.1 with Edr which lets you connect to devices like wireless headphones or the Apple Wireless Keyboard. 3g ipad will also be available in a 3g model with super-fast data speeds up to 7.2 Mbps.3 So if you re traveling or you happen to be somewhere that doesn t have a Wi-Fi network you can still get a fast connection for surfing the web downloading email or getting directions.
