Transforms your desktop into something resembling the Apple iPad.
iPadian is a free iPad simulation tool which does not change your own operating system but really on top of your desktop like most other Windows apps but in full screen. It might be comparable to some of the Android Players out there.
It is designed to be an iOS simulator that allows users to run iOS apps on their Windows computers, albeit with certain limitations. It is worth noting that IPA apps cannot be emulated with iPadian.
Getting started with iPadian
Upon launching iPadian, users will be greeted with a virtual iPad interface that looks strikingly similar to an actual iPad. The program runs in fullscreen mode but allows users to access the desktop using a dedicated button in the lower right side of the screen. The response time of the program to user actions is impressive, and the integrated and downloaded apps take only a short time to load.
You can open App Store which gives you access to many different types of iPad apps like games or multimedia. It also includes a Facebook app along with YouTube access and other utilities like clock, calendar and others.
If you've ever seen the commercials for Apple products, you might be intrigued to actually try them out without making a big purchase. With iPadian, you can play around with features and tools which look and act like those on iPad and other iOS devices.
It's obsolete now
Since this program is no longer maintained, some of the more advanced programs like YouTube no longer function properly and may crash. Otherwise, iPadian is an interesting iPad simulator. It is not, however, an emulator.
