Did you know???

Did you know that after 10 attempts of using the wrong password for you iPad, your iPad will be wiped clean.  Be careful and remember that password.

Here are some fun facts:

The Apple iPad design was modeled after the Iphone (true), which was based off the Monolith from 2001:A Space Odyssey.

Original Slogan was going to be “Touching is Good”, but Nintendo Was Going To Sue.

The Apple iPad was original going to be called the “iBook” for solely reading.

The maximum number of apps that may be installed on the iPad is 226, which is 11 pages with 20 apps on it maximum and 6 apps on the dock.

The iPad has a unibody outer casing that allows Apple to take a single piece of pressed aluminium and use it as the back cover.  This makes the overall weight and depth of the iPad much thinner than anything seen on the market today.

The A4 processor in the iPad is the first time ever in a Apple device that Apple has made it’s own processor.  In April 2008 Apple qcquired a chip-making company called PA Semi.  They build a chip based on an ARM design, which is the same chip used in the new iPhone 4 as well.  Since the processor is build with Apple software in mind, the speed of the apps that run on the iPad and iPhone is great.

The screen is 9.7 inches and it is close to full HD viewing.  The viewing angles on the iPad is incredible with the resolution at 1024 X 768 pixels at 132 pixels per inch.  It uses a system called IPS (In-Plane Switching) to get that 178 degree viewing angle.  There is also a fingerprint resistant oleophobic (please don’t ask me what that means, but it sounds cool), coating that resides on the iPhone and iPad.

Lastly, on the back of 3G models there is a black piece of plastic which allows for much better reception of the 3G signal.
