Can we say iPad a computer or not ?

The Apple’s iPad has the touch screen feature, and it has a loads of media supported feature and has created more expectation for us, but can we say this a new generation computer. It created a critical doubt to us right? Because we know windows 7 os is going to give us touchpad functionality. As it giving the thought to call it a keyboard less Laptop.


It has capability of presenting power point presentation. And its likely similar net-book. In smart-book and net-book we have seen that for supporting the device the less required OS Such as Linux OS with preinstalled application has been used instead of XP operating System. Where this iPad can use a customized version of Windows 7 and iPad os integrated with it. So when it will able to customized tablet OS then it can become a much smaller tablet iPad likely to smart-book and Net-book. And few more apps, such as word suit, power point suit integrated with this iPad can take it into more advanced stage. As it is much smaller and smart looking so it will draw much attraction to the next generation. And its far more than a media player only that has been thought by us in past. You can read news and web page with scrolling feature just flicking your finger up and down. Send e-mail with built in keyboard feature. You can create album and share your photos. You can enjoy media such as HD Movies and TV Shows. Play youtube videos. iPad runs almost 140,000 apps from the App Store. Everything from games to business apps and more. And feature like calendar maintaining, keeping a vast number of contacts , making notes etc.


Still the matter opposed to it are it is flat and horizontal, and if a docs station is attached with it then it stays also horizontal instead of just vertical like other desktop that reminds us the old computer style. Lately when it has been released there are another lacking about its platform is, you will have no freedom installing apps like firefox or even flash or any other pc based software. So you will be limited to do certain task only rather than the varities of options you do in real computer, but I'll say that it is not bad for specific task for few specific needs.
But the screen size and huge storage than any other hand held phone or itunes it really drew an attention to integrate a new iPad OS version that can make us thinking to compared it with a new doors of laptop or Net-Book. Now it’s your turn to say if it is a next generation laptop or just an iPad that are giving a little bit of computer service.
