iPad Apps Change The Way We Watch TV

June 25, 2011 - PRLog -- The concept of a couch potato is no longer viable, since traditional TV is being replaced by digital media on the go. For most people on the move, watching TV on a mobile device is getting to be a preference of choice.

Of all the devices out there, the iPad is the most popular and the most functional TV viewer. While the battle between media firms continues over what can be shown when,http://www.topipaddevelopers.com are focusing on getting more people to use its TV apps. The iPad launched a year ago with TV apps built in and it is adding more TV apps to its repertoire. For example, HBO was one of the recent additions with delayed viewing capabilities. Currently, the iPad enjoys the reputation as the premier tablet device to watch TV.

According to Walt Mossberg at allthingsd.com, the iPad is a reliable device when it comes to digital TV. The jump from TV sets to tablets follows the migration of books and music from traditional forms to the tablet. Although smartphones and computers offer a convenient means of watching TV, the iPad is in a class by itself for TV viewing. First of all, it is lot more manageable and thinner than carrying around a laptop or netbook. Additionally, it has a high battery span that makes viewing media on its 9” inch screen a pleasurable experience.

There are other tablet models like the Android based Samsung tabs and Blackberry’s Playbook, but they do not have the number of apps that the iPad two has. This gives developers plenty of space to churn out more TV apps for the ubiquitous iPad.
