More About The iPad 2

The iPad is a stunning piece of technology. It looks fantastic, has a gorgeous, sharp, bright screen and is a great portable media player. It excels if you want to watch video, listen to music or do some web browsing. The size makes it portable so you can do these things while out and about but the screen is large enough to be functional.

It doesn't replace a laptop as it's not a fully functional computer but it consolidates the functions of a netbook, e-reader, gaming device and media player. In addition, the iPad gives you access to the Apple app store with the fantastic range of functionality that this provides.

To connect to the Internet using the iPad you need a special SIM card. It's a micro-SIM specifically for the iPad. It's not possible to use a SIM card from a phone. There is no USB port so a USB mobile broadband modem can't be used.

All the main carriers in Australia have plans for the iPad and there is a great deal of flexibility in how much data on postpaid plans and different recharge options on prepaid plans. Here's an overview of some of the best iPad plans available in Australia.
