Writing an Apple iPad review is difficult because this new gadget comes with so many features that I am not sure even where to start. We have found an Apple iPad review that described a product which basically manages to combine the iPhone and the Apple MacBook in order to create the most portable laptop that you have ever seen.



This superb new Apple gizmo comes with a 9.7 inch display that features the touch screen technology and it comes with a native resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels. The processor that can be found on this tablet is the 1 GHz Apple A4 custom one which combines good performance with a low power processor. The dimensions of the iPad are 9.56 x 7.47 x 0.5 inches and the total weight of the system is 1.5 pounds making this one of the most portable computers the world has ever seen. You have a special port for connecting your iPad to your computer or laptop. There is also a pair of built in speakers, a headphones plus a microphone jack and a SIM card tray.

When it comes to the design, this Apple iPad is absolutely beautiful. Measuring only 0.5 inches in thickness, this is one of slimmest computers that you could hold in your hands. With the low weight, it is easy to carry the iPad wherever you like just by sticking it into your regular bag or purse. Of course, you need to buy a proper Apple iPad Case in order to protect it from scratches. On the front side of the iPad you can find a home button, pretty much with the same function as the one of the iPhone. The user interface is also similar to the iPhone and it is very friendly and easy to work with. The virtual keyboard is good for using with almost any application and with the screen that is larger compared to the iPhone, it is really easy to surf the internet, write e-mails and other documents.



Watching videos on the iPad is simply a great activity because of the built in YouTube application which allows you watch any YouTube video. With the 1024 x 720 pixels resolution, you will not be able to watch full HD videos but the quality of the image is still impeccable. Since the iPad makes an ideal travel companion, you can watch movies anywhere you are. Battery life is, of course, one of the most important aspects of the iPad since you should be able to use it for long hours even if you don’t have a power source near to charge it. The iPad will manage to stay on for an amazing 10 hours and 35 minutes if you use it for tasks such as regular internet browsing, watching videos from time to time, writing e-mails and running some regular applications.

Even if the iPad is not designed to replace a computer, it is able to replace some other devices. It can be used as a netbook, as a support for music playing and video watching when you are not at home. You can also use it as a GPS in your can and the fact that you get easy internet access is one of the strongest points of this device.

When you hear people speaking about the Chinese iPhone, they are referring to the fact that the new iPhone 4 has already been counterfeited on the Chinese market. A while ago, we gave you the news that we had about the Apple iPhone 4G and now it’s time to give you an update with what we have discovered as far as this whole counterfeiting thing is concerned.



Back in April this year, everyone had the chance to see the first pictures of how the new Apple iPhone is going to look like. When these pictures were available online, together with the general specifications, it was easy to create copies of this cell phone and sell them for a lower price.

In fact, this is what the Chinese iPhone is all about, a cheap copy of a cell phone that not many people can afford. The truth is, the business of counterfeit cell phones is going great because people cannot afford to buy the genuine cell phone model and they settle for a cheaper copy that comes with almost the same characteristics.  The new Apple iPhone 4G is bound to be released this month. It measures 115.2 x 58.6 x 9.3 mm in dimensions and it has a total weight of 137 grams. Even if you may think this phone is quite heavy, the weight is nothing compared to what this baby can do.

The display of this cell phone measures 3.5 inches and it comes with support for 16M colors and it has a resolution of 640 x 960 pixels. The screen comes with features such as a scratch resistant surface, an accelerometer sensor for auto-rotate and a proximity sensor. The cell phone will be available in a 16 GB of storage and 32 GB of storage versions. There is not included microSD card slot so you are stuck with the amount of storage that you initially choose. This cell phone comes with all the modern features that you want to get from a mobile that can replace a small computer. With the included Wi-Fi you get internet access a lot easier. You have a 5 MP camera which takes amazing pictures at a maximum resolution of 2592 x 1944 pixels with its features as touch focus and LED flash. It also has the capacity to record videos at a maximum speed of 30 frames per second.



The features and applications that come with the new generation iPhone are numerous. You have a digital compass, Google Maps, a back panel which is scratch resistant, a dedicated microphone with active noise cancellations and even a TV out. The standard battery of this cell phone will manage to keep the device on for about 7 hours of talk time and 300 hours in standby mode in 3G networks. Just make sure that you buy the original device that comes with the Apple quality guarantee. Only buy it from authorized cell phone dealers or directly from Apple because there is the risk of you ending up with a cheap and trashy cell phone.

Apple loves all its children very much, but the iPhone has its special place. It is the highest accomplishment from Apple, far more famous than the computers and, besides, the iPhone sales went up through the roof top and the item sold a lot more than any optimistic expectation. Any way, the marketing strategy behind the incredible iPhone sales is certainly developed by a very smart person or staff because their collaboration with AT&T brought both companies incredible benefits. On the one hand Apple launched its brand new product of mobile phone technology on the market in an already developed network of specialized stores that sold iPhones together with a two year contract.



AT&T is the top mobile phone company in America and enjoyed having exclusive rightsover selling the iPhone, that new innovative amazing gadget all the young people want to have. The prices are affordable, of course, but that is only because of the partnership between Apple and AT&T because they split the profits that come from the contracts on long term - two years is quite a lot in mobile phone contracts. If you want to buy this device without having to sign a contract you will be able to do it, but you will have to pay $500 extra money for each iPhone model. Pretty much, considering that it's just a mobile phone after all. Yes, I know it comes with all kinds of features that are more specific to a computer and it also has internet connectivity, but it's still pretty expensive for most people.



Any way, Apple and AT&T seem to have thought of this and came up with a new trick: how about selling refurbished iPhones for half the price of a new one? Apple gets rid of the returned devices, AT&T profits from the signing of the contracts (yes, these refurbished iPhones sell only if you sign a contract just like the new ones) and the buyers are happy they are able to use the device and to pay less for it. So it seems that everybody is happy about this deal.

Even though many people mistake refurbished things for used things it's not exactly the same. Refurbished iPhones for example are those iPhones that were returned to the store in their warranty period because they had some scratches or some software malfunctions or some other similar problems. They were repaired and whatever was damaged is now fixed and they look almost as well as the new ones and they also work very well.

There are a lot of people that take care of that and test the device thoroughly  before placing it on the market again in order to avoid a second return. So the idea is that you can buy the same device but for less money and most of the times the refurbished iPhones will last as long as the other iPhones. You can buy these devices now starting from $45. Some people implied the fact that Apple is getting rid of all its other devies, new or refurbished because they want to make room for the new model of iPhone 4 G that will be released soon - in a matter of days actually.

The iPod is one of the most popular devices, especially among the young people because it is small and nice, easy to carry around and highly portable. It can store thousands of tunes and movies and you can use it any time and anywhere. You can place it in your pocket and use the headphones or the earbud heaphones to listen to music as you walk , without disturbing the people around you and without having to listen to unwanted conversations or noises.



Apple iPod is also very popular because it is easy to use: you just connect it to your computer, then to iTunes and load all the music files you want. After enjoying a good session of listening to music you might want to change some songs you have on your iPod because enough is enough. No matter how many tunes you might have stored on your device, you will want to remove some of them at a certain point because you have listened to them enough and you just want to replace them with some new songs. Well, you might be surprised but some people don't know how to do this and ask the other iPod users on the forums: "Can you delete songs on an Apple mini iPod?". They normally get the right answer immediately , as it is pretty easy to do this.



You can manage the contents of your playlist in the iPod either manually or automatically. No matter what you choose you can't do this directly from your iPod, but you have to connect to a computer first. this is the first step in managing whatever files you have stored in your device. Then , after you have connected to the USB port of your computer, you must open the iTunes and select the iPod as your source from the source list. Now look at the iTunes window and you will see a shape that looks like the contour of an iPod in the right bottom corner. When you click it you will open a menu list. Just select "Manually manage songs and playlists". If you click OK, your iPod will be ready now for the next step - of adding or removing the contents, replacing old songs with new ones and whatever you might want to do.

Now it's time to learn how you delete songs on an Apple mini iPod. Keep the device connected to your computer and the iTunes , too. Then go back to the source list and select the iPod. Then take your time and select all the songs that you want to delete from the playlist. Do not hurry to delete everything in sight because after you do this you can't undo the command. So you will have to go through all the steps described above to add one song to the list again. So be careful about that.



Once the selection i finished, just press "delete" and the deleting process is over. One more thing: even if you have deleted the songs from the iPod and the iPod playlist, they are not deleted from the iTunes. So if you want to remove them permanently from there, you will have to do this manually. However, there is a setting somewhere that you can choose and tick if you want to have the songs removes from the iTunes when you delete them from the playlist. It's only up to you to select this setting or not.

The new tablet from Apple was very much advertized on TV, radio and especially on the internet. The whole world knew about its release on the market at the beginning of April this year. It was a big event, indeed, as the iPad promised to be an innovative device, a combination of features and applications for everybody to enjoy. But until its official release nobody even knew what it looked like until it was officially introduced to the people by Steve Jobs, the CEO from Apple. And this presentation was only on TV or in a short video on the internet, so you did not get the chance to touch it and test it. Any way all the people were very anxious to get one, even if the price seemed a bit prohibitive - $500 the cheapest version with the least amount of memory, as you can see from the official offer from Apple presented in the picture below.



However, if you were really that anxious and could not wait to purchasing an iPad from Apple without having to fight over it in the stores in the opening day, you could also pre-order it on the internet. You were promised then to be handed your piece ordered online from the nearest Apple store until April 7th.

The only problem was when suddenly, on March 27, 2010 all the specialized web pages began publishing all sorts of articles announcing the entire IT community that Apple ran out of iPads.  The rumor was supported by the fact that Apple officials announced on their official web site www.apple.com that all those who already pre-ordered to that date will be served in due time, but those intending to order from that date on will get the ipad until April 12. It was a week delay, so not that important if that were any other date.



But considering the fact that it was exactly the launching period for the iPad when everybody wanted to test the new gadget, to hold it and be the proud owner of such a device, the news was not exactly welcomed. Plus, the announcement said in a flat tone that if you did not come to the Apple store when you were scheduled to take your ordered iPad they would give it to the first person asking for one, according to the principle "the first come is the first served".

You can imagine all the comments and suppositions when people found out that Apple ran out of iPads. Apple fans said that the demand of iPads was so big that it exceeded the number of items that was available at the time. The arguments in favo
r were the fact that it was something new and innovative and also the huge advertising campaign. However, there were some to tell that Apple just was not prepared for this and could not handle the problem because of the lack of logistics.
