It’s been  now  four days since Apple started accepting pre-orders for its iPad – the Apple’s first tablet PC. During the first six hours the pre-order was available, Apple had collected over  90, 000 orders, and continues receiving more and  more every day.

Summarizing  the first hands-on reviews, most of the owners are impressed by the display quality, and the way it feels in the hands. Both colors and touchscreen response effect are said to be great, as well as the speed of the CPU. Most of the Apple iPad owners have noted that  the applications and the  webpages load super fast.

Among the disappointments the most important one (though everyone was informed on this before) is no multitask. This is easy to understand:  the price says you are buying a computer, but in fact you are getting an almost-netbook-more-than-a -reader device with a cool touchscreen and with no camera.

Definitely, campervan hire NZ is definitely something new on the market, and not only devoted Apple-lovers are interested in it now. Though it is not just a device, which will need to find a proper niche for itself. When some are in a rush to buy iPad, the others still try to figure out what would they need it for.

Along with the news on Apple iPad pre-order, there are also talks on Apple’s battery replacement program, as this is rather important for the future iPad users. According to the iPad’s support documents, as well as the Wiki article on iPad, the device has a non replaceable Lithium-ion polymer battery, which loses a part of its capacity with time. To solve this problem Apple has a battery replacement program, that lets you get a new one for $99.

Besides this, you will need to back up all the contents of your old iPad, as Apple will not transfer any of the data to your new device.

50, 000 orders in first two hours – is a lot, and analysts predict Apple to sell about 5 million devices by the end of the year, though Apple says they want 10 million. Whatever the amount of sales will be, it will greatly depend on the impression of first buyers, and for now it is rather controversial.

Many admire a great screen and touch response, but regret the device having no camera, what makes video calls be impossible. The CPU is highly productive, though it seems to be not that necessary with no multitask. Still, due to the high speed, everything loads very fast, you do not have to wait even a second.

Some even say Apple’s iPad is a nice tool for business: as en event planner and a presentations gadget as well.  Despite all the sceptics,  more and more people hurry to make a pre-order and become one of the first happy (or unhappy) owners of the IPad.

Are you one of them?
