Apples eagerly awaited new gadget the ipad went on sale last Saturday for the first time with figures showing that 300, 000 units in total left shop floors; a figure that wins over Macintosh’s second most popular product the iphone.

Its not surprising that so many people have been overly excited about having one of these devices for their own use, the ipad is packed full of great features that may revolutionize the mobile internet experience. Not as big and bulky as a laptop it has the look of a medium sized text book, but is only a few centimeters thick and weighs just 1.5 pounds making it easy to carry around with you. The whole of the front save for a small border is taken up by a sharp touch screen display that neatly lists a number of applications. If you’re wondering how a person may type, there is a virtual keyboard installed on each ipad that can be easily displayed at the touch of a button.
