According to Apple, iPad is the best way to experience the web. You can view whole pages in portrait or landscape on the multi-touch screen and let your fingers do the surfing.

The mail app is a valuable feature, with a split-screen view and expansive onscreen keyboard. The iWork productivity applications sold separately – keynote, pages and numbers – have been completely redesigned for iPad so you can create great-looking presentations, documents and spreadsheets.

A vivid LED-backlit IPS display makes viewing photos on iPad extraordinary. Open albums with a tap, flip through your pictures one by one or play a slideshow and share your photos.

The 24.6cm high resolution screen also makes iPad perfect for watching HD movies, TV shows, podcasts, music videos and more.

Other features include access to iPod, iTunes, the App store, maps, calendars, contacts and more.
