The iPad has Wi-Fi and cellular connectivity (2G, 3G and 4G (third and fourth generations and iPad mini only)).
An iPad can shoot video, take photos, play music, send and receive email, and browse the web. Other functions—games, reference, GPS navigation, social networking, etc.—can be enabled by downloading apps; as of 2012, the App Store offered more than 700,000 apps by Apple and third parties.
There are five generations of iPad models, each accompanied by one of the six major releases of iOS: the original, the iPad 2, the third-generation iPad, the fourth-generation iPad, and the iPad Mini.
Apple has unveiled a mini version of its iPad, Apple Ipad Mini.
Apple, which in the past had resisted making a smaller iPad, sought to emphasize that the mini was not inferior to its 9.7-inch device, which was unveiled in 2010 and has since dominated the tablet market.
“It is every inch an iPad,” Phil Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of worldwide marketing, told the crowd moments after introducing the long-rumored device.
The iPad mini’s screen has a resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels, the same as an iPad 2 and around a quarter of the resolution of the third-generation iPad.
