Why iPad? iPad’s are a nice device to have. They have a brilliant screen display quality making the pictures look real. They run on the same operating system as iPhones (iOS 5) which makes it easy to navigate around the device as we are familiar to the system.

iPads for School. iPads do have schoolwork apps made by Apple ® not an unknown company. They have an equivalent for Word, PowerPoint and Xcel. The apps look incredible. They are called Pages (Word), Keynote (PowerPoint) and Numbers (Xcel). These apps can be saved in it’s own file, PDF file or a normal Microsoft file. These apps may be compatible with iPhone and iPod Touch but it will be better to keep school work away from personal use and its big screen will help seeing the text easier and easier editing. Price: All featured apps $10.49 each. More info: Pages, Keynote and Numbers.PagesKeynoteNumbers
