Like the iPod and the iPhone, the iPad has changed since the first model has been released in 2010. The best way to describe an iPad is to use the term "giant iPod". It was designed similar, but had a much bigger screen at 9.7 inches. While it didn't get cell reception like the iPhone, it did connect to wifi and Bluetooth.
