5 Reasons You Should By An iPad

Posted on by

Apple products have always been popular for their bright colours and modern design. As one of the top competitors, Apple sells millions of products every year, ranging from computers and tablets to digital music players and phones.

The iPad 2 was released earlier in the year with much excitement. Apple fans looked forward to a new design and added features in the tablet and below you can read the top five reasons why you should buy an iPad 2 today:

  1. User friendly
    The iPad 2 is fairly simple with a touch screen and design much like the iPhone, just on a bigger scale. Many people choose the iPad over other tablets due to the fact that it uses applications that are recognisable with many built in before purchase.
  2. Thinner
    It’s thinner than the old iPad but also thinner than most tablets on the market. The iPad 2 is just 8.8 millimetres thin and weighs as little as 601 grams making it feel almost like air.
  3. AirPrint and AirPlay
    You can stream your music, photos and videos wirelessly to your HDTV and speakers through either Apple TV or AirPlay through the Wi-Fi network. You can also use the AirPrint function to print your emails, photos, web pages and documents straight from your iPad to a printer.
  4. Wi-Fi and 3G
    The iPad 2 comes with both 3G and Wi-Fi so that if you can’t use one, there is always the other. It is built with advanced wireless technology and is also available with 3G connectivity on either the Telstra or Optus Wireless networks.
  5. Smart Cover

When you pick up your iPad don’t forget to also purchase a Smart Cover. This cover stays perfectly in place and protects your screen without adding any extra bulk to your tablet. When you close the cover your iPad will automatically go to sleep and will wake up again when you open it. The cover comes in 10 bright colours so you can choose the style that suits you.

One retailer that stocks Apple products in Australia like the tablet is Next Byte. They’re a national iPad retailer, employing a team of qualified Apple professionals so you can get the right assistance when you need it.
