The iPad is a tablet computer designed and developed by Apple. It is particularly marketed for ebook, magazine, and newspaper reading, as well as general internet surfing. Since its release in April 2010, Apple has sold 2 million iPads.

Similar to the older (and smaller) iPod Touch and iPhone, the iPad runs a modified version of the iOS and is controlled by a multitouch display sensitive to fingertips, instead of a stylus as with earlier tablet computers. It runs iPad-specific applications as well as those written for the iPhone and iPod Touch, including e-book readers.

The iPad uses Wi-Fi or a 3G data connection to browse the Internet, load and stream media, and install software. A USB cable is required to sync the iPad with iTunes on a personal computer.

Now with iPad to PC transferring software , you can transfer videos/music/pictures from PC to iPad without iTunes and copy iPad videos/music to your PC for backup.
