It can access to standard IMAP or enterprise-level mail servers like Microsoft Exchange 2003, 2007 or 2010 over a secure SSL connection from anywhere you have access to AT&T's or Verizon's 4G network or a Wi-Fi hotspot.

Configuring iPad for use in your business is easy. You can create a configuration profile for your business that includes information about your company’s VPN, email, wireless network, and passcode policies. This profile can be sent to each device either over the air or via USB. Users simply tap to install the profile and then start using iPad.
Connect securely to corporate mail, calendar or VPN servers
The iPad uses Exchange ActiveSync to get contacts, calendar events and push email from MS Exchange servers, while CalDAV enables access to iCal, Zimbra or Oracle Beehive calendar servers.
The included Mail application will allow you access IMAP mail servers and preview iWork, PDF, MS Word, Excel and Powerpoint files with a single tap on the screen.
Calendar makes it easy to stay on schedule by displaying day, week, month, or list views of your calendar. You can see an overview of a whole month or the details of a single day. iPad even shows multiple calendars at once, so you can manage work and family schedules at the same time.
With iPad, you can do more with your contacts than ever before. Put a photo to a name, so you can find someone at a glance. Add an email address and you can send a message with a tap. Or add birthdays, anniversaries, and important notes to any contact. You can even set a reminder that’s saved to your calendar.

Secure Wi-Fi connection is possible both through WPA2 Enterprise and 802.1X encryption. IT departments can remotely erase data and pre-saved access passwords in case an iPad is lost or stolen.
iOS 5 Features
With thousands of apps in practically every category, iOS is the platform for the world’s largest collection of mobile apps. Apple gives third-party developers a rich set of tools and APIs, and they’ve created apps and games that redefine what a mobile device can do. Where do you find these apps? Just browse the App Store on your iPad and download them with a tap.
Because Apple makes both the iPad hardware and the operating system, everything works together seamlessly and intelligently. This makes it possible for built-in apps and apps from the App Store to take advantage of the iPad hardware. So Multi-Touch, the accelerometer, the three-axis gyro, accelerated graphics, and the powerful processor are always in play when you’re surfing the web, watching movies, gaming, and going from app to app to app.
Multi-Touch technology.
You already know how to use iPad, because you use the most natural pointing device there is: your finger. Nobody does Multi-Touch better than Apple.
Up to 10 hours of battery life.
The A5X chip in the new iPad is incredibly power efficient, which means the iPad battery — and all the web surfing, email checking, movie watching, and more — lasts up to 10 hours on a single charge.
Instant On.
With Instant On, iPad springs to life the second you touch the Home button. And when you open the iPad Smart Cover, iPad wakes up automatically.3 That’s Instant On with a colorful twist.
Safe and secure by design.
iOS is highly secure from the moment you turn on your iPad. All apps run in a safe environment, so a website or app can’t access data from other apps. iOS also supports encrypted network communication to protect your sensitive information. To guard your privacy, apps requesting location information are required to get your permission first. You can set a passcode lock to prevent unauthorized access to your device and configure iPad to delete all your data after too many unsuccessful passcode attempts. And in case your iPad is lost or stolen, Find My iPad allows you to locate it on a map and remotely delete all your data.4 When you get it back, you can restore everything from your last backup.
Ready for business.
iOS works with Microsoft Exchange and standards-based servers to deliver over-the-air push email, calendar, and contacts. iOS protects your data by encrypting information in three separate areas: in transmission, at rest on the device, and when backed up to iTunes. You can securely access private corporate networks through industry-standard VPN protocols. And companies can easily deploy iPad across an enterprise using configuration profiles.
Accessibility built in.
iOS comes standard with a wide range of accessibility features that help people with disabilities experience everything iPad has to offer. For example, the built-in VoiceOver screen-reading technology allows those who are blind or have low vision to hear a description of the item they’re touching on the screen. iOS also offers out-of-the-box support for over 30 wireless braille displays and many other accessibility features, such as dynamic screen magnification, playback of closed-captioned video, white on black text, and more.
Works all over the world.
Heading to Tokyo on business? Find an app that helps teach you the language or one that just helps translate. iPad and iOS are made to be used around the world. The user interface is localized in over 30 languages. So you can send or read email in other languages and easily switch between them. Because the keyboard is software based, you can select from over 50 different layouts with support for language-specific features including diacritic marks on characters, handwritten input for Chinese, and contextual character options for Japanese. In addition, the built-in dictionaries support over 50 languages, and VoiceOver reads screens in more than 35 languages.
