My iPad (7th Edition)

It has been said many times already, but it’s worth repeating: iPad is one of the most revolutionary devices that have come around in years. iPad is truly revolutionizing how we approach the use of computers, and it is bound to have an impact on all of the other computing devices. Since iPad’s initial debut other computing platforms (Android, Windows, etc.) have launched their versions of a tablet computer, but so far they have not had nearly as much success as iPad. iPad is an always-on, easily accessible and intuitive computing platform. It is fully integrated and takes advantage of Apple’s ecosystem of apps and service. Even though the ease of use is one of its hallmarks, if you have never used an iPod or an iPhone you may have some initial difficulties with using it.
iPad Air has been the biggest improvement on the original iPad concept to date. This device is thinner, lighter, faster, and it’s equipped with two cameras, one on each face of the device. It is even more fun to use, and you almost start to feel that you could almost entirely ditch your computer. This is even more the case with iPad Air 2 and iOS 8 - they allow you to create, access and share your content across the whole ecosystem of Apple devices like never before.
