An early target for jokes about feminine hygiene products, the iPad started a media frenzy from the moment (and even before) it was announced. Apple's iPad that was released in April 2010, was the first tablet device to go mainstream. Not only did it go mainstream, but it sold over 1 million devices within the first 28 days. There are a few differences between the iPad and other tablets discussed, but the main and the most noticeable difference is the screen size. The iPad provides a 9.7 inch screen, which makes reading, editing and viewing things much nicer. The iPad is running Apple's iOS 4.2 operating system, equipt with multi-tasking and wireless printing.
Why is the iPad an ideal device for the medical field?
The iPad provides many advantages. The first of course being the larger screen. The larger screen is helpful to a doctor or medical personal, who may have to read fine print, or look at an image. Another advantage is in the software. The iPad and iPhone are known for their very professional level style of medical Apps, the most popular being MacPractice, which will be discussed in later entries.
