The
iPad (pronounced
/ˈaɪpæd/ eye-pad) is a line of
tablet computers designed, developed and marketed by
Apple Inc. primarily as a platform for audio-visual media including books, periodicals, movies, music, games, and web content. Its size and weight falls between those of contemporary
smartphones and laptop computers. The iPad runs the same
operating system as the
iPod Touch and
iPhone-and can run its own applications as well as iPhone applications. Without
modification, the iPad will only run programs approved by Apple and distributed via the Apple
App Store (with the exception of programs that run inside the iPad's
web browser).
Like iPhone and iPod Touch, the iPad is controlled by a
multitouch display-a departure from most previous tablet computers, which used a pressure-triggered
stylus-as well as a virtual onscreen keyboard in lieu of a physical keyboard. The iPad uses a
wireless local area network ("
Wi-Fi") connection to access
local area networks and the Internet. Some models also have a
3G wireless network interface which can connect to
HSPAor
EV-DO data networks and on to the Internet. The device is managed and
synced by
iTunes running on a personal computer via
USB cable.
