If reading e-books is something you like, it might be a reason to get an iPad. The iPad is good for your eyes since the screen is bright, while e-readers like the Kindle and Nook are not. Apple also gives you access to its own online bookstore, iBooks and you can also get a free app for Kindle. Of course, if reading e-books is all you want the iPad for, you have to factor in that it’s more expensive than other book readers. However, those devices don’t give you the iPad’s other features, such as internet access and the ability to watch videos and play games. Comic book fans like the Marvel Comic app which lets them read their favorite comic books and enjoy the high definition illustrations. Gamers will really appreciate the ability you’ll have to play games on the iPad. The high quality images of the iPad screen can make 3D games look great, which is one advantage. Serious gamers are not impressed with the iPad claiming that the interface for gaming is more difficult to manipulate than using a mouse, keyboard, or wheel in combination with a computer. There is a new accessory on the horizon though that will eliminate these problems and make the iPad a better choice for gaming. Until this accessory is released gamers will have to choose between those hard core gaming functions and choosing another platform for their games.

The lack of a camera is the most often lamented detail about this generation of the iPad. Because so many people have complained about this oversight there is wide speculation that the next model will in fact offer a camera feature. For only $30, there is a kit sold by Apple that allows you to connect your digital camera to your iPad. You may not be able to use your iPad to take the pictures but you can use it to keep them safe for you. With so many wonderful features to offer, it’s no wonder that so many people find the iPad appealing. It’s a full entertainment center that also gives you internet access. Of course you’ll have to make a few sacrifices as well like phone calls and the ability to take photographs. There is a lot to think about when you try to decide whether the iPad is the right choice for you and your needs. Last but not least, be sure to read this GoPro HD Helmet HERO review.
