mI-PAD has been designed for:
Young Students- it is a great tool for young kids in the age group of 5-8 to get a hang of what a word/text editor looks and feels like before they progress onto bigger ones like MS WORD, OpenOffice and the likes.
Part-time Writers-it is also a great tool for people who write short stories or poem as a hobby because they require only a writing area and handful of formatting tools.
Small business people who need a word editor just to write email messages or to create a bill, purchase order, etc.
Home users – it is a great tool for people who are new to computers as it will easily help them to get accustomed to the working of a word processor, thereby eliminating the need for a formal learning process.
