When Steve Jobs introduced worldwide the device under the name iPad, users, as is the case with the iPhone, divided into two distinct categories. The first category of users in ecstasy exclaimed: “I want it, I want it!” and they rushed to do
pre-orders. The second category beginning to make fun of the new device, trying to prove that Apple did not invent anything new, but released a typical tablet with more than ordinary characteristics. Soon became clear that new iPad will not work under some versions of Mac OS and it is running by iPhone OS 3.2.

It is not a big problem because you can ask anybody from your family members or friends who has a Mac or PC and they are willing to help you synchronized the iPad. You also need Wi-Fi
