APPLE IPAD TABLET

INTRODUCTION
The iPad is the first tablet computer developed by Apple Inc. since the Newton.Announced on

January 27, 2010, it is part of a device category between a Smartphone and a laptop

computer.Similar in functionality to a larger and more powerful iPhone or iPod touch, it runs a

modified version of the same operating system (iPhone OS),with a user interface redesigned to

take advantage of the larger screen.

It is a revolutionary device to surf the web, communicate via e-mail, enjoy your photos, watching

videos, listening to music, play games, read electronic books and much more. Very responsive,

the screen Multi-Touch ™ high resolution iPad allows users to physically interact with

applications and content. With only 13.4 mm thick to just 680 grams, iPad is thinner and lighter

than any laptop or netbook. iPad Aboard 12 innovative applications designed specifically

for iPad and can run almost all of the approximately 140 000 applications from the App Store.

The iPad has a 9.7-inch (25 cm) LED backlit multi-touch display with a pixel resolution of

1024x768, 16 to 64 gigabytes (GB) of flash memory, a 1-gigahertz (GHz) Apple A4

processor, Bluetooth 2.1, and a 30-pin dock connector to sync with iTunes and connect wired

accessories.

Two models have been announced: one with 802.11n Wi-Fi and one with 802.11n Wi-Fi

and 3G (which can connect to HSDPA cellular networks), and Assisted GPS. Both models may

be purchased with three different storage capacities.

As Apple's first device to use its iBookstore service and companion iBooks ebook reading

application, the iPad has been compared with Amazon's Kindle

HISTORY

It's no secret to us that Apple's products tend to generate what some might consider

insane amounts of interest for weeks, months, and even years before they're launched or even

announced. Whether you love the company or hate its guts, you can't deny that Apple is

particularly prone to being fodder for the rumor mill. Here at Engadget, we've always been pretty

proud of our ability to decode fact from fiction, and we try not to add too much noise to the echo

chamber in which the gadget world seems to sometimes live. That said, we do cover plenty of

rumors -- and the Apple Tablet may just be the biggest and most twisted of them all.

Apple's development of a tablet computer began with the Newton MessagePad 100, first

introduced in 1993. This effort led to the creation of the ARM6 processor core with Acorn

Computers. Apple also developed a prototype PowerBook Duo-based tablet computer,

thePenLite, but did not sell it to avoid hurting MessagePad sales. Apple released several more

Newton-based PDAs, and discontinued the last in the line, the MessagePad 2100, in 1998.

Apple reentered the market in 2007 with the iPhone. Smaller than the iPad but featuring a

camera and mobile phone, it pioneered the multitouch interface of iPhone OS. By late 2009, the

iPad's release had been rumored for several months with iSlate and iTablet among speculated

names. The product was announced on January 27, 2010, at an Apple press conference at

the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco.

Three days later, at the 52nd Grammy Awards, Stephen Colbert used an iPad in announcing the

nominees.

ARCHITECTURE OF IPAD TABLET

the architecture of Ipad tablet can be divided into three headings:

1.the A4 processor

2.the iphone OS(OS X)

3.System requirements

1.A4 PROCESSOR:

The ipad tablet makes use of A4 processor in its architecture. The Apple A4 is a 32bit-ARM-

based system-on-a-chip (SoC) designed by Apple and first used in the iPad tablet computer.The

first version released runs at 1 GHz and contains a Cortex-A8 CPU core paired with a PowerVR

SGX graphics processor (GPU). It was announced on January 27, 2010, during Apple's "Latest

Creation" event. The performance of The A4 chip inside iPad was custom-designed by Apple

engineers to be extremely powerful yet extremely power efficient. The performance is unlike

anything you’ve ever seen on a touch-based device. Which makes iPad fantastic for everything

from productivity apps to games. At the same time, the A4 chip is so power efficient that it helps

iPad get up to 10 hours of battery life on a single charge. And iPad is available with a choice of

16GB, 32GB, or 64GB of flash storage,4 giving you lots of room for your photos, movies, music,

apps, and more.

The A4 processor

Apple claims the power efficiency of the chip will allow the iPad to offer users 10 hours of

battery life in use, and over a month of standby.

"iPad is powered by our own custom silicon. We have an incredible group that does custom

silicon at Apple," company co-founder Steve Jobs said during Wednesday's keynote. "We have a

chip called A4, which is our most advanced chip we've ever done that powers the iPad. It's got

the processor, the graphics, the I/O, the memory controller -- everything in this one chip, and it

screams."

2.OS X(Iphone OS)

iPhone OS (known as OS X, OS X iPhone or iPhone OS X in its early history) is a mobile

operating system developed and marketed by Apple Inc. It is the default operating system of

the iPhone, the iPod Touch, and the upcoming iPad.

It is derived from Mac OS X, with which it shares the Darwin foundation, and is therefore

aUnix-like operating system by nature. iPhone OS has four abstraction layers: the Core OS layer,

the Core Services layer, the Media layer, and the Cocoa Touch layer. The operating system uses

less than 500 megabytes of the device's memory.The iPhone OS was introduced at the Macworld

Conference & Expo on January 9, 2007, as the primary operating system of the iPhone

Homescreen of iphone os
The user interface of iPhone OS is based on the concept of direct manipulation, using multi-

touch gestures. Interface control elements consist of sliders, switches, and buttons. The response

8TH SEM DEPT OF CSE

APPLE IPAD TABLET

to user input is supposed to be immediate to provide a fluid interface. Interaction with the OS

includes gestures such as swiping, tapping, pinching, and reverse pinching.

Internal accelerometers are used by some applications to respond to shaking the device (one

common result is the undo command) or rotating it in three dimensions (one common result is

switching from portrait to landscape mode).

A home screen (rendered by "SpringBoard") with application icons, and a dock at the bottom of

the screen, showing icons for the applications the user accesses the most, is presented when the

device is turned on or whenever the home button is pressed. The screen has a status bar across

the top to display data, such as time, battery level, and signal strength. The rest of the screen is

devoted to the current application. There is no concept of starting or quitting applications, only

opening an application from the home screen, and leaving the application to return to the home

screen. It is possible to force an application to quit by holding down the power button until the

"slide to power off" slider appears, and then holding the home button down, however. While

some multitasking is permitted it is not obtrusive or obvious. However, it is limited to Apple's

own applications.Many of the included applications were designed to work together; allowing

for the sharing or cross-propagation of data from one application to another (e.g., a phone

number can be selected from an email and saved as a contact or dialed for a phone call.) The

iPad includes a similar interface, except that the dock is "3D" and the background is

interchangeable.

Iphone SDK and its licensing

On October 17, 2007, in an open letter posted to Apple's "Hot News" weblog, Steve Jobs

announced that a software development kit (SDK) would be made available to third-party

developers in February 2008.the SDK itself is a free download, but in order to release software,

8TH SEM DEPT OF CSE

APPLE IPAD TABLET

one must enroll in the iPhone Developer Program, a step requiring payment and Apple's

approval. Signed keys are provided to upload the application to Apple's App Store. Applications

can be distributed in three ways: through the App Store, through enterprise deployment to a

company's employees only, and on an "Ad-hoc" basis to up to 100 iPhones. Once distributed

through the App Store, a developer can request up to 50 promotional codes that can be used to

freely distribute a commercial application he or she has developed.

Core Location is a software framework in iPhone OS. It is primarily used by applications on the

iPhone OS 2.0 for detection of the device's location. It was announced as part of the iPhone

Software Roadmap event on March 6, 2008, and was made available as part of the iPhone SDK.

JAVA
Apple has not announced any plans to enable Java to run on the iPhone. Sun

Microsystems announced plans to release a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) for iPhone OS, based

on the Java Platform, Micro Edition version of Java. This would enable Java applications to run

on iPhone and iPod Touch

.NET/CLI
It is not permissible to install a .NET Framework or similar runtime on an iPhone, but by

using Novell's commercial MonoTouch framework it is possible to achieve similar results.

MonoTouch uses a custom fork of the Mono Project to compile all CLI bytecode in .NET to

native ARM machine-code ahead of time.

SVG
Mobile Safari supports SVG starting with iPhone OS 2.1. The SVG support features scripting

and most of the static parts of the SVG 1.1. specification. SMIL animation is not yet supported

8TH SEM DEPT OF CSE

APPLE IPAD TABLET

for SVG graphics. It will be delivered after the Webkit SMIL implementation is mature enough.

In addition to SVG, the HTML Canvas is supported.

APPLE IPAD TABLET DESIGN:

ITS HARD TO BELIEVE WE COULD FIT SO MANY

GREAT IDEAS INTO SOMETHING SO THIN

A large, high-resolution LED-backlit IPS display. An incredibly responsive Multi-Touch screen.

And an amazingly powerful Apple-designed chip. All in a design that’s thin and light enough to
take anywhere. iPad isn’t just the best device of its kind. It’s a whole new kind of device

1. LED-Backlit IPS Display

The high-resolution, 9.7-inch LED-backlit IPS display on iPad is remarkably crisp and vivid.

Which makes it perfect for web browsing, watching movies, or viewing photos. With iPad, there

is no up or down. It’s designed to show off your content in portrait or landscape orientation with

every turn. And because it uses a display technology called IPS (in-plane switching), it has a

wide, 178° viewing angle. So you can hold it almost any way you want and still get a brilliant

picture, with excellent color and contrast.

2. Multi-Touch
The Multi-Touch screen on iPad is based on the same revolutionary technology on iPhone. But

the technology has been completely reengineered for the larger iPad surface, making it extremely

precise and responsive. So whether you’re zooming in on a map, flicking through your photos, or

deleting an email, iPad responds with incredible accuracy. And it does just what you want it to.

3. Thin and Light

One of the first things you’ll notice about iPad is how thin and light it is. The screen is 9.7 inches

measured diagonally. So overall, it’s slightly smaller than a magazine. At just 1.5 pounds and 0.5

8TH SEM DEPT OF CSE

APPLE IPAD TABLET

inch thin, you can use it anywhere. And a slight curve to the back makes it easy to pick up and

comfortable to hold.

4.Up to 10 Hours
of Battery Life
To maximize battery life, Apple engineers took the same lithium-polymer battery technology

they developed for Mac notebook computers and applied it to the iPad. As a result, you can use

iPad for up to 10 hours while surfing the web on Wi-Fi, watching videos, or listening to music.

5.Wireless
With built-in 802.11n, iPad takes advantage of the fastest Wi-Fi networks. It automatically locates

available Wi-Fi networks, which you can join with a few taps. iPad also comes with Bluetooth 2.1 +

EDR, letting you connect to devices like wireless headphones or the Apple Wireless Keyboard.

6.3G
iPad will also be available in a 3G model with superfast data speeds up to 7.2 Mbps.3 So if

you’re traveling or you happen to be somewhere without a Wi-Fi network, you can still get a fast

connection for surfing the web, downloading email, or getting directions.

7.Performance
The A4 chip inside iPad was custom-designed by Apple engineers to be extremely powerful yet

extremely power efficient. The performance is unlike anything you’ve ever seen on a touch-

based device. Which makes iPad fantastic for everything from productivity apps to games. At the

same time, the A4 chip is so power efficient that it helps iPad get up to 10 hours of battery life on

a single charge. And iPad is available with a choice of 16GB, 32GB, or 64GB of flash

storage,giving you lots of room for your photos, movies, music, apps, and more.

 At&t will provide unlimited US data for $30 and it will be prepaid

 Already runs iPhone apps

 International wireless plans are coming in the Summer

 Will run iWork

DISADVANTAGES:

 Cost and ongoing data plans for ebook reading - up to $830 + $30 a month (UK price

likely to be £600-700 GBP)

8TH SEM DEPT OF CSE

 APPLE IPAD TABLET

 Usability (on screen keyboard versus real keyboard) - there's a dock with a built in

keyboard sold separately to negate this.

 Heavier than a Kindle

 Flash. The Safari browser included on the iPad doesn't have Flash -- just like the iPhone.

That's a huge hindrance

 No camera. A user-facing camera to enable video conferencing and/or video chats was

high on the list of features expected. It doesn't have one.

It's pretty sturdy. I wouldnt recommend sitting on it though. 

14. Was the ipad built to compete against the netbook or reader?
Absolutely. Apple's strategy is brilliant. Netbooks were slowly catching up in the market, but
apple realized that the netbooks in the market aren't that great. They built iPad to compete with
netbooks, and from what i've seen so far, we can definitely expect a drop in netbook sales.
People will prefer iPad especially since it can run iPhone apps. There are over 140,000 apps for
iPhone, and by promoting iPads, apple is going to increase their app sales.

use of the iPad, the myriad of applications already there and in development, and its great design

and capabilities will attract many people. The price range, starting at $ 499 all the way up to $

829 for the 64 GB model with 3G, will not be much of a stumbling block for this, given that a

top range laptop is more pricey than this.

Given that the machine can take over many of the older machinery people have at home and at

the office, and the fantastic specs of the screen, I expect Apple's iPad to show up in board rooms,

during presentations and in schools all over the world soon!
