iPad: A Gizmo from an Unidentified Distant Future




Each time Apple envisions a new creation, it effortlessly always proves something. This large Apple tree never bore a fruit to the extent of rotting. Another brainchild has been queued under the intelligent line of Apple products -- the prototype of Captain James T. Kirk’s planned creation of a digital tablet, the iPad.

The iPad is a tabular computing handheld device with advanced features alike of a computer. The advent of this tablet mechanism is propelled by Apple’s advocacy of zooming in to the reality of the Star Trek eon. The iPad is engineered to be a mobile device, with light angular dimensions at exactly 25cm and weighs about 700 grams. This weight property is buoyant enough for portability. Imagine an iMac or a MacBook, then rip off some of the heavy features, leave some of the most commonly used programs, then you have an iPad.


What made this device close to the realization of the Star Trek epoch? It is Apple’s abhorrence to the conventional use of keypads. It’s comprehensible why Apple hated keypads; they’ve rejected the idea of adding fluffy buttons on the iPad and instead developed an onscreen software-based qwerty numeric keypad which of course, is touch sensitive. Apple’s tagline adheres to its promotion of literally touching the iPad’s functional elements with your hands.

Apple’s exclusive iMac browser Safari is ported to the iPad tablet. This web viewer is platformed with gestural touch recognitions that define browsing experience by the natural pointing tool… the fingers. The iPad supports advanced HTML encoding which allows the rendering of websites as perfect as it can be. But one thing extremely negative with this touch tablet is the lack of Flash decoders. Websites with flash videos and animations are not viewable under its built-in browser. With a regular PC, what you do is download a different browser. But remember it’s an iPad; it’s completely stuck to its pre-installed web browsing software. What poses now is the worry that you wouldn’t be able to view YouTube videos. Apple isn’t that stupid to allow millions of YouTube users reject the idea of purchasing iPad just because of its limitation to YouTube. What they intellectually did, was threadbare the ordinariness of YouTube browsing with the creation of an exclusive YouTube Viewer in a way that only iPad would ever exhibit.




Connectivity is state of the art, which requires only the fastest Wi-Fi signal pitches that only N adapters can transmit. With this advance wireless data coupling technology, the iPad is able to define the exactness of every file detail, whether it is a video or audio stream, the quality of rendering specifics is never compromised. In the instance that Wi-Fi broadcasts are of zero visibility, the Apple computing tablet also is backed up with an alternate wireless data coupler, the conventional 3G support.

This touch sensorial computing tablet runs under the Apple’s exclusive operating environment, the iOS 4. The iOS 4 is also used as the operating system for the Apple mobile smartphone… the iPhone 4. The Apple iPad collectively features: Advanced movie viewing, Music player, Games, eBooks, web connect applications and mobile email access. It has a docking port which holds the iPad tablet either on a desk steady landscape or portrait angle for handsfree utilization. Data transfers and charging are dependent on the USB port for accessorial coupling.  IPS technology also paddocks the pixel count and display specifics. An optional camera can be connected to the iPad tablet with the use of an extra enhancement supply, the iPad camera connection kit.

With all these sophisticated features, no doubt that Apple has always had a thing to say and eventually brag about. The only problem that could be closing in is the probability that Apple may be planning to redesign the Star Trek enterprise. After all, whoever did leak the blue print for the iPad from Captain Kirk’s bedroom, and however did they make a way to send it back in time doesn’t matter, we might not be far from their time hole, anyway.
