The iPad 2 and the Evolution of Apple Devices

The iPad 2 has been released recently and with there have of course been new features. The iPad 2 boasts about a having a faster processor called the dual-core A5 chip. On the apple website it tells of that with this A5 chip you can do twice as much work as once. With the new iPad the graphics are 9 times faster graphics which is a great feature for gamers. The new iPad is also 15% lighter and 33% thinner. The new iPad like the most recent iPod touch model also has front and rear facing cameras.

It seems with all these new models that apple is always adding only a few features to each new model. The iPad 2 does have features that the iPad one didn't have and probably the biggest new feature of the iPad is the cameras. All in all the iPad doesn't have any outstanding features, unless you really wanted a camera on your iPad. The thing with the camera on the iPad is that it's great if you're sitting somewhere with your iPad and you happen to want to take a picture. The iPad is not like an iPod touch though because it is a lot bigger so it is not like you are going to take the iPad with you and take pictures with it because of its bulkiness. It will be interesting what apple comes up with next and if there are any big features that are going to be added to the iPod touch and or iPad.

Credit Card Reader for iPhone and iPod Touch

Recently there has been a new device released that you can use on with your iPod touch or iPhone to read credit cards. This new technology allows small business to except credit cards anywhere as long as they are connected to the Internet. Reading credit cards is not functions that only iPod touches and iPhones can perform there are also credit card readers for other smart phones. Gone are the days when credit cards were carbon copied now credit card transactions are becoming more and more instantaneous. One popular application for iPod, iPhone and iPad is square. For Square you need to download the free app and then they will send you the card reader. You have to register a bank account first before you are able to use the app. When you use to app the customer has to sign after their credit card has been swiped and then they have to choose if they want a receipt sent to via email and enter their email address if they do want a receipt. I don't think that this is the fastest app and it wouldn't work well if there are lots of customers. In my research I also discovered that you don't receive the payment for several days and there is also a fee for using this app like you would for accepting a credit through any method. This app would also be better if the card reader had a chip reader function since a lot of credit cards are now using the chip and PIN technology. If the card reader had a chip reading function it would also make the transaction more secure and a customer entering their pin would also most likely be faster than singing the iPod touch or iPhone screen.

iPad?

The iPad was released a while ago and unlike the iPod touch and iPhone it is a unique product. An iPad wouldn't replace your laptop and you wouldn't want to carry as your iPod. The iPad does resemble a large iPod touch but it does have some things the iPod touch doesn't. The iPad is faster than an iPod touch so it is faster when searching the web so over all it is more enjoyable doing using the iPad because of this increased speed. The larger size also makes the iPad easier to use than the iPod touch and iPhone because now the keyboard is bigger and you don't have to zoom nearly as compared to browsing the internet on iPod touch or iPhone. The more expensive iPad you can sign up with a mobile internet provider so you can get mobile internet on your iPad. This way you can browse the web anywhere and you don't have to worry about being connected to Wi-Fi. The iPad also has an accessory that you can buy separately to you can connect a camera to it so you upload photos. The iPad does have many similar features as the iPod touch and many iPod touch apps are compatible with it. In a lot of ways it is just a big iPod touch but the size does make it easier to do many tasks.
