Buckle up people…Apples’ iPad 1 and iPad 2 are ready for take off !

We all have to accept the fact that today’s world just cannot do without technology and the latest gadgets even in their high end systems.

Let’s face it; everything today needs to be upgraded to meet the latest technology standards, in the process making life and work easier for professionals. For instance, the in-cockpits manuals are now being replaced by the iPad. It’s another step moving towards a paperless society.


iPad Approved for use in Cockpits

 

 

The biggest debate today is; does technology run our lives, or do we create technology to make our lives simpler. Alaskan Airlines have ensured that they make changes for the better by bringing in the best of technology to help their pilots. These are the in-cockpit flight manuals which Alaskan Airlines has bought a change in.

Alaskan Airlines have finally got their much awaited approval given by the Federal Aviation Administration. This will be the first domestic airline to replace their flight manuals with the iPad 2 tablet. Although this will not be done on a large scale, the change is evident. According to news reports the airlines industry will look at trying to replace all of their manuals with some iPad 1 and iPad 2 tablets. Although this does sound surreal, the change was bound to happen and is a welcome one as well.

iPad is now used in cockpits by pilots for navagation

The attempt was to cut down on the usage of papers traditionally used for various reasons by airlines. This decision was taken by Alaskan Airlines along with Delta Airlines only after gaining their approval by the FAA. With this, the iPad will service pilots with the Executive Jet Management, charter airline service and cockpit uses as well. This definitely get rids of redundant and menacingly heavy devices, at the same time brings in easy to use and the ever slim and lightweightiPad. Although introducing new computerized chart replacements in the aviation industry has been a tradition carried on since several years, the introduction of the iPad 1 and iPad 2 will make things different.

 

The FAA approval came about in March 2011; unfortunately they did so only for Executive Jet Management. Seems like other airline companies are looking to introduce the iPad in their flights and cockpits too, and hence have assured they testing of the device in their aircrafts are in full swing and at the same time approval requests too are being made.

When the charter service had put in an approval request sometime early in February, the request was approved putting them straight above the rest. In fact the charter service had even received the much needed support required from the FAA so that they could test the Jeppesen Mobile TC iPad app. This is an app that Jeppesen is well known for, since pilots rely heavily on it for their pre and in-flight navigation and planning. With this approval however, Executive Jet Management will now be able to use the iPad for their “Sole reference for electronic charts, even during taxi, takeoff and landing.”

Whichever way you at it, Apples’ iPad is now becoming much more mainstream and very much integrated in our increasingly busy lives.

iPad 2 Dimensions Get an Upgrade!

Apple detailed the iPad dimensions for the second generation iPad at the unvailing of the new device on March 2nd.  The dimensions of the second generation iPad and the first generation iPad are very similar however, the iPad 2 is thinner and therefore lighter than the original iPad.  This is a huge upgrade for those who carry their iPad’s around with them everywhere. iPad dimensions

iPad Dimensions

The first generation iPad is 9.56 inches tall, 7.47 inches wide and .5 inches thick. For those readers who use the metric scale, the first generation iPad is 243 mm tall, 190 mm wide and 13 mm thick.

iPad 2 Dimensions

The iPad 2 is 9.5 inches tall, 7.31 inches wide and only .34 inches thick (The main difference in dimensions between the first gen iPad and the iPad 2 is the thickness.  The iPad 2 is a lot thinner than the first generation iPad.) For those of you using the metric scale the iPad 2 is 240 mm tall, 186 mm wide, and 8.6 mm thick.

Overall, the Apple team did a great job updating the iPad dimensions, while still keeping iPad screen resolution and quality in tact, when they built the iPad 2.  I think the smaller dimension of the iPad 2 which allows for it to be a little lighter will definitely be appreciated by iPad enthusiasts.

iPad Stylus Pen, is This the Answer?

The iPad stylus pen will make it so that you never  have to let a dirty finger, a perfect manicure, or warm woolly gloves get between you and your iPad again.

Although it is included as a standard feature for the Apple iPad, using the stylus pen is definitely an amazing experience. Think about this situation, you are outside on a park bench with your iPad. It is a little cold outside so you are wearing a pair of gloves.  Now you know as well as I do that you can not use the iPads touch screen with gloves on. However, if you had a stylus pen for the iPad, you would be in luck and would be able to play around with you iPad without taking off your gloves.

The iPad stylus pen allows you to use the touch screen in way that you might not have previously though about. You can take your stylus and use it for drawing and writing based applications.

Aside from using a stylus pen, there are also gloves that allow you to use the iPad touch screen while wearing gloves. However, the gloves do not offer the same precision and accuracy that the iPad stylus pen gives the user. I would suggest checking out the iPad gloves if you do not need the accuracy of the iPad stylus but that is just me. Please share any stylus based apps in the comments.

Rumor is really strong and comfortable with applying new iPads – the application of graphics used are actually four times more iPad can deliver.
