Audio

The Apple iPad is equipped with dual speakers, which are placed inside the iPad. Also, it supports both normal headphones, and models which are equipped with microphones or volume controls.

Battery 

The iPad uses a rechargeable lithium- ion battery. It is designed to be recharged with high current power, and with the help of a USB power adapter. Although it can be recharged through the standard computer USB port, the lower current that these ports provide will slow down the recharging of the iPad considerably.

The iPad lacks a web camera, and this was criticized as one of its weakest points, especially since a lot of users expected that feature.
