iPadian

This product is a simulator program that an individual can install to open an iPad-style screen on a Windows computer that looks similar to Apple's iOS design.

Features:

• It does not change Windows programs or system files

• Has its own set of widgets and simple apps such as a browser, mail, music and photos
• Opens web services like Facebook, YouTube and Gmail through iOS-styled icons
• It does not run real iOS apps from Apple's App Store
• It runs on Windows 7 and later versions of Windows
• Settings allow changing the iPad background
• Older free version is ad-supported

This software lets Windows users who are used to Apple devices work in a familiar iPad-style interface with icons, a dock and simple apps.

Overall, this simulator is meant to make the Windows experience feel more like an Apple tablet. It lets the user open a full-screen iPad-style environment that mimics the style of Apple iOS. This includes a home screen with icons, a dock and a sidebar with apps and widgets; some of the included apps, like the browser, music player and photo viewer, work inside the simulator, and web services such as Facebook are opened through their websites. iPadian is a simulator, not an emulator: it does not install iOS, cannot run native iPhone or iPad apps and does not connect to Apple's App Store, so it cannot log into an Apple ID. The older 10.x release was distributed free with ads, while the current editions on the official site, iPadian Classic and the foldable-phone iPadian Duo, are paid one-time purchases without a subscription. Apps inside the simulator can run slower than native Windows programs, and a panel at the bottom of the screen lists the open apps, so you can switch between them like windows on a normal desktop. It is mainly useful for people who like the Apple design and want to try an iOS-style interface on a Windows computer.
