People that are considering recycling their old iPod or iPhone in order to get the cash together for an iPad may be interested in knowing what Apple’s new device is good for:

Watching TV and Films

The new Apple iPad has a 9.7 inch LED back-lit screen which is great for watching TV and films on. You can download apps that allow you to watch TV from a wide range of different channels. You can also browse a wide range of movies that can be bought at the apps store.

Helps to Keep you Organized

You no longer need a paperback organizer if you buy the iPad as you can view and plan upcoming activities by day, week or month on its calender. You can also sync calenders from your laptop or PC into the iPad. It also has a really handy note features which allows you to scribble notes in using the large on-screen keyboard.

Browsing the Internet

The Apple iPad literally allows you to hold the web in your hands. You can view whole web pages in portrait or landscape mode, touch to open new pages and zoom in on text and images. Its all really fast too thanks too the 802.11n Wi-Fi which lets pages load as quick as any PC or laptop.

Use it as a Digital Photo Frame

By downloading the photos app you can view all your photo albums in thumbnail form before literally tapping into them to view them full size. So whilst you aren’t using your iPad you could put it on your coffee table with a sideshow of your favourite photos on the screen.

Playing Handheld Games

Like the iPod Touch and iPhone the iPad is great for playing games on especially due to the bigger screen. Some of the best games for the iPad include the real-time-strategy game Command & Conquer: Red Alert, EA’s Mirror’s Edge and the ever popular Plants vs. Zombies HD.
