The iPad is a tablet computer designed and marketed by Apple for Internet browsing, media consumption, gaming, and light content creation. Unlike many older tablets, it uses fingertips for input instead of a stylus. Released in April 2010, it established a new class of devices between smartphones and laptops. As of May 3, 2010, Apple had sold 1 million iPads.
Like the older (and smaller) iPod Touch and iPhone, the iPad runs the iPhone OS and uses a multi-touch LCD for most user interactions. It runs iPad-specific applications as well as those written for the iPhone and iPod touch, including e-book readers.
The iPad uses WiFi or its 3G data connection to browse the Internet, load and stream media, and install software. A physical cable is required to sync the iPad with iTunes on a PC.
