The introduction of the iPad has created quite a stir on the internet inside the cool tech gadgets community and outside.

Many people had their money put aside even before the iPad had been released, with many making it out to be amongst the best tech gadgets before it had even been released.

So what can happen when such a release as this creates such a storm? Certain unscrupulous ‘pirate’ manufacturers try to take advantage of the buzz.

There are companies in China that are excellent at making replicas of almost any product and they have come up with numerous ‘iPads’ that are not in fact Apple approved.

It can be very difficult to spot the difference unless you know what to look for. The trouble is if you have never seen the device close up before then how can you compare a fake to a real one?

Untrustworthy Websites

Sellers on Alibaba and other China trading sites have put these replicas on their own websites for sale.

They then proceeded to lead people to believe that these were in fact original iPads when there were not.

Unsuspecting buyers in their eagerness to have one of these devices then jump at the chance to get them at a ‘bargain’ price.

So what Alibaba sellers and other sites have done is use the hype around the product to deceive buyers into paying for a replica device. When you consider that the iPad hasn’t even been released in China, 14737 (the number of iPads on Alibaba) is a large number of iPads to be listed on a site based there.

False Specs Some manufacturers made slight mistakes with regards to the specs of the iPad making it possible for consumers to question their purchase.

Things like the wrong processors, wrong screen size, wrong camera specs or telephone capabilities were posted in the specifications of the fake devices.

Wrong Price Some of the manufacturers were a lot cleverer and kept the specs closer to what the real iPad offered.

The only indication that something was wrong was how cheaply they were selling the new product for. Everyone already had an idea of how much these pieces of ingenuity would cost.

Chinas Reputation China is now the fastest growing economy in the world and with that comes responsibility. We all know that China is well known for its boot-legging and fake products.

The thing is in the past you always knew you were getting a fake product. This new deception is a step in the wrong direction and needs to be addressed. These sites must be removed and stricter guidelines set in place to keep track of such scammers.

Some wholesalers are taking a stand

Some genuine electronics sellers are actually speaking out against this practice though, saying it only makes life difficult for them.

They say their reputation as a honest tech gadgets supplier is tainted by outside influences. We all have a tendency to tar people with the same brush, guilty by association if you will.

Although they added that the specs could very well match the real iPad, it was still important for websites to be honest and totally transparent about what they were selling.

Let me commence by saying that when you spot a leather iPad covering being offered in the $20 arena how much more could you hope for out of it? When I initially got to check out the Executive Folio by CrazyOnDigital I was actually quite pleased.

The surface is covered in exquisite leather which serves to afford it a real professional, yet somehow laid back look. It is quite chic. The Khaki appearance is interestingly compensated for by the crimson stripe flowing around its midpoint.

This streak is really the securing strap which then tucks into itself on the diametric surface of the covering. The interior of a CrazyOnDigital iPad covering is lined with ultra velvety microfiber cloth. Your screen will continue to be comfortably snug from getting scratched.

On the internal surfaces on the left face of the casing there are several pockets that are perfect for holding your business cards, IDs, and useful notes too. It helps keep everything where you want it. The right face features four flexible straps that contain your Apple iPad securely in place. You can overlap the front behind and use the Executive Folio iPad Case as a hands free reading stand.

How extraordinary is that? Going hands off definitely is a godsend. There is a couple of stuff to remember when you think about this pro covering. The pictures can appear kind of blinding. When I got the chance to check it out the cover is in reality somewhat more muted when it comes to the colours.

This only served to make it seem so much more pro like. Also, the stitching of the iPad cover itself is quite pro looking and seemingly adds to the overall quality. One issue I had was that the power button is covered by a crossing anchor.

This is no big care as it doesn’t press the button and you can easily use it okay. All in all the Executive Case in Leather for the Apple iPad is an outstanding case. It is certainly worth the cost!

According to Apple’s iPad tech specs, the iPad does indeed support a type of AVI video: Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format

AVI, the audio-video interleave is a container introduced by Microsoft. Motion JPEG is a type of AVI compression. While AVI in general is ubiquitous for standard definition video content on the internet, there’s no indication Apple is supporting the specific XviD/Divx codec (encoding/decoding) used by those AVI files.

iPad compatible and not compatible AVI files

Some Mac users might not that knowledgeable about video file formats. In other words, iPad supports some types of video cameras watch their AVI footage via the camera card reader accessory, it won’t let you watch downloaded AVI movies on the iPad.

Easy solution for AVI files playback on iPad

If you want to download AVI movies from the internet and play on you iPad, you can convert your AVI files to iPad friendly format. AVI files with JPEG compression is high quality, but it’s HUGE. So you can also convert avi to MP4 format for iPad.

It’s a hassle to get all the way to the end only to discover that your video file won’t play on your iPad. I recommend iSkysoft iPad Video Converter for Mac, which provide optimized presets for your iPad so you don’t need to worry about the settings for your iPad.
