Thousands - if not millions - of people across the world own an iPad, and all of them seem to be happy with their investment. However, it is in human nature to drive a hard bargain and seek out the best value offerings, so it is only natural that people are looking for how to get more out of their purchase for little or no outlay. No longer do people rely on books to read on long journeys: they use an app. They don't watch DVDs: they rely on their all in one media device. Work can be done on it too.
This thin, sleek and stunning looking device has single handedly changed the way the world interfaces with technology. Old technologies which stood the test of time are now becoming obsolete thanks to it. People read eBooks rather than paper or hardbacks. Magazines are dying; newspapers too. Integrated audio and video are becoming standard with magazine articles.
There really does, to adapt the famous Apple slogan, seem to be an app for everything. But many people find that once they have paid such a large amount for the initial unit, they are unwilling or unable to splurge on the add ons which truly make the gadget more functional. They therefore resort to free, rather than costly, apps. Large conglomerates including the biggest names in media and entertainment have been quick to work this to their advantage, releasing cost free products to a wide audience.
Besides reading and keeping abreast of the news, people like to use their gadget for more fun past times. Movies can be watched on the sizeable screen, though these are often needed to be paid for and downloaded to the iPad. The accompanying head phones allow people to watch television shows in peace without annoying fellow commuters.
A return to short form video games has been one of Apple's crowning achievements. Games like Angry Birds are now ever popular. They can be found in free and extended costly versions.
Serious work can be done on the tablet too. Productivity suites with office programs can be bought or downloaded for free from the iTunes store. These allow people to not just access emails, but also work on presentations and spreadsheets on the move.
The crazy volume of apps available for the iPad allows users to theoretically never pay for anything. There is always likely to be a free alternative. As these become more popular, they become more intuitive and helpful.
