Why Are we Giving Away an iPad?

Because our members are awesome. We also run ads on this site which generate income so we’ve decided to re-invest in order to grow the membership. We also own a few ourselves so what a better way than for us to giveaway something we also enjoy.  As you’ll see, some of the ways to earn extra entries involve spreading the word which hopefully will translate into more traffic, more ad revenue and more prizes down the road. But mostly because our members are awesome.

What’s an iPad?

Seriously?

The iPad is a tablet computer designed and marketed by Apple for Internet browsing, media consumption, gaming, and light content creation. Released in April 2010, it established a new class of devices between smartphones and laptops.^[14][15] As of June 1st, 2010, Apple had sold 2 million iPads.^[8]

Similar to the older (and smaller) iPod Touch and iPhone, the iPad runs a modified version of the iPhone OS and is controlled by a multi-touch LCD sensitive to fingertips, instead of a stylus as with earlier tablet computers.^[16][17][18] 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.^[19][20][21] A USB cable is required to sync the iPad with iTunes on a personal computer.
