Why The IPad Is The Best Tablet Device On The Market

As usual, in 2010, Apple changed things; again. By releasing a tablet device onto the market that everybody loved, they managed to sculpt everyone's needs; ensuring that every consumer wanted what they had produced. And so, the iPad was born.

The Design

In essence, the iPad is a tablet device that has one of the simplest designs imaginable. All in all, the iPad has two buttons, a rocker switch and a normal switch. The main, circular button lies underneath the screen, and its main function is simply to return to the 'Home' screen. The other major button is the lock button, that also doubles as a power button. The presence of just two main buttons is reflective of the minimalist design efforts that went into producing the iPad itself, in its purest form.

The Buildup

After being announced a few weeks prior to its release, the iPad generated much speculation about its potential popularity leading up to its epic launch day. Although there were plenty of optimists, as is usually the case, plenty of media pessimism and skepticism was present to place a downward tone on the iPad's release. Despite extremely well-suggestive preorder sales figures, many media and market analysts believed that the iPad would be a 'fad' so to speak, and wouldn't perhaps take off, like its sibling, the iPhone.

Much of this doubt was centered around the fact that the iPad was not being released into an existing market, but was instead creating its own market. Never before had consumers used a slate of screen with a singular button, that could be put on a coffee table to display photos and videos, used in an office to create documents, used in business meetings as a marveling centerpiece, or used with friends for immersive gaming. This new market was one that would attract a lot of interest, but not necessarily interest that was all positive. Up until its release, the iPad was being continually heralded as the successor to the personal computer.

The Release

Upon release, the iPad was met with mixed reviews, however, the vast amount of its users reported that it was a perfected, stat-of-the-art experience. This went on to generate a superb reception from consumers, who had been given the seamless, easy user experience that they never knew they wanted. As a result, the iPad generated plenty of interest to fuel the demand in the market it had created.

The Long Term

Many skeptics and critics that regarded the iPad as a 'fad' would often claim that the initial excitement for Apple's tablet would fade, and that it was therefore only a short-term success. However, continually increasing demand and sales ensured the market and its consumers that it was a product that was here to stay. Consequently, criticism about the iPad began to die away, however, a new problem for Apple was just around the corner.

The Competitors

As with almost every successful Apple product that has been released, there are always plenty of copycats to follow. Part of the reason surrounding the immense amount of duplicates of Apple's product ideas, is the fact that many product manufacturers wish to get a bit of the demand and profit that Apple can engineer. Fortunately for Apple, as a company, it holds plenty of intellectual property rights and patents that allow it to dispute and eliminate copycat products.

Most recently, concerns that have surrounded the Samsung Galaxy Tab about its originality and legality have been raised by Apple. More importantly, a court order was even proposed to halt sales of the device, as it infringed Apple's intellectual property rights (i.e. from the iPad).

There are plenty of competitors, and surely plenty more to come. However, one thing still remains the same: Apple will continue to dominate every market that it enters or creates.

The Future

Just under a year after the original iPad's release, the iPad 2 was also announced and released. It was a hardware update to the already successful iPad, improving many aspects of the device, and more importantly, generating more sales. The most important features of the iPad 2 are: a front and rear facing camera, much faster processing, thinner enclosure, and a lighter net weight. These extra features help contribute towards a much greater user experience.

As always, Apple retains its wonderfully secretive nature about future product releases, and has a tendency not to release product information as pre-release material.

We can only hope and imagine about what the next products will be like.
