What is iPad?

As the new iPad was unveiled, a lot of people thought of it as the ‘upgraded’ version of the Apple iPhone or the Apple iTouch. The new iPad is a hybrid of Apple iPhone, Apple iTouch, and a full laptop notebook. Using the touch screen, you can browse the internet, use apps, listen to music, watch movies and play games in this new Apple iPad. It won’t be able to make calls, but given the size, that’s probably for the best.

The large, high-resolution screen makes iPad perfect for watching any kind of video: from HD movies and TV shows to podcasts and music videos. Switch between widescreen and full screen with a double-tap. Because iPad is essentially one big screen, with no distracting keypad or buttons, you feel completely immersed in whatever you’re watching.

On March 9th, 2011 Apple released the new version of iPad - iPad 2.

What type of TV shows and videos can be played on iPad/iPad 2?
