So far I've struck - could even say 'mabuk' - with an appearance outside the Apple iPad. Then, I trying to look into the Apple iPad, and groped in fact what impact iPad components of user satisfaction.
Now it's time to see more sane on the Apple iPad. After all, this is not a display of goods are made only to browse through and admired it. Gadgets such as the iPad, no matter how beautiful, must have a function.

Congenital Applications
Already in the iPad is some innate applications from Apple. Compared to the iPhone, iPad applications on it amounted to a little more. Applications, among which are:
* Calendar - Calendar handles the basic functions of an organizer. This includes seeing the date, make an appointment to see the agenda of activities. Although the standard function, Calendar has a pleasing appearance.
* Contact - Here all the data of friends, and family relationships can be saved. It looks like the book also makes good in the eyes of this application.
* Maps - Application to access Google Maps as the iPhone. Wider screen makes maps more widely, but the rest of this is Google maps with the standard features and very functional.
* Notes - This application is used to make little notes. If this application on the iPhone more like a Post It, on the iPad this application note how to have a small block.
* Video - Watch a video on the iPad was not done via the iPod application. Video becomes a special application to watch synchronized video from iTunes.
* YouTube - Indeed, the iPad Safari browser does not support Flash. But at least for watching YouTube videos, Apple has provided a separate application.
* ITunes - This application is used to access the iTunes store, to buy digital songs. Just like the iPhone, iTunes could not be accessed if you use iTunes account Indonesia.
* App Store - This application is used to buy applications in the App Store. Because the iPad has not officially circulated in Indonesia, the App Store on the iPad also can not be accessed by Indonesian iTunes account.

iPad for 'Feasting' Media
This function is the most logical for the iPad, given the screen size is quite a relief (compared to the iPhone) and the quality of picture and sound are spelled out clearly.
In addition to video and music, media consumption can also be done on Internet content. Leading newspapers and magazines, especially from the U.S., as if competing to bring an application for iPad.
Applications NYT Editor's Choice of the New York Times to 'digital magazine' of Time is among the most unsightly. Common approach is to: bring the style sheets of paper in digital form.
Apple also has prepared iBooks (Currently only available in the U.S.) to bring the content of books in iPad. This is what makes iPad is often compared with the Kindle, an e-book reader device from Amazon. Oh yes, Amazon Kindle also present applications for the iPad.
In conclusion: iPad is perfect for devouring the media. This function is supported by battery consumption is quite good and clear screen quality.
iPad for Playing Game
IPhone games can be run in the iPad, both at the original size or enlarged. The effect, if magnified, image quality would be sacrificed. Some games appear 'coarse and ugly' when played on the iPad.
Well, what's interesting is that games are designed for iPad. detikINET try some 2D games as well as Harbour Master Godfinger HD for testing the iPad. The results are quite exciting because the game feels more spacious arena.
Speaking of games, iPad simply promising a platform for gaming. While that represented a good game or not will depend on individual developers.
In conclusion: iPad used as a tool worthy enough to play games, though usually will feel awkward if played while held in the hand. Most of the better games played while resting on the table, very reminiscent of the game board.
iPad to Work?
Not impossible, just that there are still many who 'disappeared' from the iPad to make it as a primary productivity tool. First, about the keyboard, it was not possible to type more than two hours using a mere touch screen.
Yes, indeed iPad can be connected to a Bluetooth keyboard. But using a keyboard an additional means to reduce the essence iPad as a practical gadget.
The bottom line: productivity applications will certainly continue to come in the iPad, and some may be used optimally. But in general work in the iPad is a 'last option' that should be undertaken only when an emergency only.
This is one of my popular :)
