It seems like the Apple iPad surpassed all expectations and looks to become another core product from Apple. A lot has been written about the benefits of the iPad, but there are so many other great features that haven’t been discussed nearly as much as they should. Here is a list of the Top 5 features of the iPad you may not have known about.

1. Replicate the Book Reading Experience

You probably already know about reading from the iPad’s huge selection of digital books. Not only do you have access to the iBook Store, but you can even download books from the Kindle Store. Many people have complained about this great perk, and that it doesn’t feel like reading a real book. You can change all this if you get a flip case for your iPad. With iPad accessories such as a book-type leather case, you can open and hold your iPad just like a regular book for a great reading experience.

2. Dock it to Your Computer

Yes, the iPad is considered to be a portable device, but can dock it to your computer to give it even more functionality. By adding a docking kit, you can practically transform your iPad into a full-blown computer. There also several iPad desktop chargers which you can use to dock your iPad, giving you both the ability to charge the iPad and have great functionality simultaneously.

3. Portable – Charge it Anywhere

The iPad is an excellent choice if you’re looking for some computing power on the go. Unlike a laptop, it is easy to charge the iPad in places such as your car without the need for a bulky adapter with a huge transformer. A lot of of the iPad chargers available are small and compact to the point where you can fit it into your pocket.

4. Customizable

Although the iPad’s black and silver color looks pretty sleek, there are actually loads of other customizable options to put on your iPad to fit your personality. This is unprecedented among other computing devices like laptops and netbooks. You’ll be surprised to the wide selection of cases and skins which have been crafted specifically for the iPad by several talented and creative designers.

5. Great Music Device

Although people don’t think of the iPad as a music device, its overall performance for playing music is even better than an iPod or iPhone. The iTunes App on the iPad has been completely revamped to give users a great experience. To really make your audio experience top-notch, you can upgrade your headphones. The best part about the iPad is that it will accept basically any third-party headphone device.

The iPad is a revolutionary device with many excellent ipad accessories. Integrate some of these extra features today to take your iPad experience to the next level.
