The assignment is to find a multimedia device or software that I have not used before.
I found the ipad, a tablet computer I have never used before. It is lightweight an easy to carry: 9.56 inches x 7.47 inches, with a depth of ½ inch. It weighs 1.5 pounds. The basic model uses wi-fi, however a 3 G model is available. The display is 9.7-inch diagonal, touch screen display. The battery will last for up to 10 hours. The ipad is available with a16GB, 32GB, or 64GB flash drive. The price starts at $499.00. So far this may sound like an advertisement, which is not surprising as I got this information from apples website at http://www.apple.com/ipad/ .
There is a review at http://www.ubergizmo.com/15/archives/2010/01/ipad-first-impressions-review.html , where they basically rave about it. Another reviewer at http://gizmodo.com/5458382/8-things-that-suck-about-the-ipad really did not like the ipad. It seems that the only serious drawback the author found is that it does not allow multi-tasking. On of the things I was surprised to find is that the ipad 3G can be connected by any phone company and the monthly prepaid cost runs as low as $15 a month.
