A Detailed Guide To The Strong And Weak Points Of IPad Videos And Applications

By Neil Rawcliffe


The relative popularity of iPad videos has meant that the device has continued pulling even bigger following among enthusiasts all over the world. With a design and marketing strategy that has concentrated on the high end market, the tablet's perception as a status symbol will continue driving up sales. Despite this, users will need to keep watch of the pros and cons before they can make the ultimate decision to buy.

It is inarguable that the iTunes feature and integration has been a large factor in making this tab offering the worldwide hit phenomenon it has been. With an almost inexhaustible choice to download on the iTunes website, users cannot complain for lack of variety. This has been a major reason why all the hype is happening.

The handy nature of the iPad's size is another contributing factor to the growing popularity. It is easy to lug around as it will virtually fit into any luggage no matter how constricting it is. The fact that it also fits snugly under the crook of the arm while moving about has meant that the crowds have been ensnared. Add to this the fact that the multidimensional ten inch scratch resistant screen offers ease of use that can barely be matched and it is easy to see how the tablet has drawn such faithful following globally.

The offering of over 60,000 book titles on the iBook application has further enhanced the competitive advantage of this tablet computer. Never has the e-book industry been so boosted by the launch of a smart device. Competing offers can not offer readers such variety and ease of use.

The ease by which iPads enable users to view movies online is certainly a strong selling point worldwide. Integrating the NetFlix app in its interface has contributed to this growing popularity. In essence it means all a user needs to have is a NetFlix account and they are good to go in viewing the latest Hollywood blockbusters for free.

One of the more common complaints from users is when it comes to replacement of accessories as well as parts. There is no disputing the robust performance of the iPad's battery, but after continued use it will lose its long lasting capacity. There is also mechanical damage that may happen requiring for a new replacement. Since users can barely find genuine parts retailing, they are usually forced to buy batteries that are not standard and this does not match up to the demands of this device.

It is a laudable effort that Apple store is brimming with apps for all sorts of user needs. However, most of them have no relevance to the average user and are scarcely ever downloaded. Since Apple prohibits third party applications from selling on their store, it is virtually impossible for some users to customize their devices to perform just the way they would want them to work.

Another headache that has caused problems with users all over the world is inability of this device to support Flash software that is standard requirement for a wide variety of web applications. Added to this is the fact that this tablet computer is priced much higher than others in the same class. There is no apparent reason why it should spot a much higher price tag especially since it has no superiority in specifications.

There is every indication is that iPad videos will remain a major selling point for the device in the foreseeable future. However, one needs to carefully weigh all the factors before proceeding on with a purchase.
