Blu-ray Disc (official abbreviation BD) (Japanese: ブルーレイディスク Burū-Rei Disuku)

is a high definition media format designed to supersede the DVD format. The format defines
as its standard physical media an 5-inch (same as DVDs and CDs), 25 GB per-layer optical
disc, being dual layer discs (50 GB) the norm for feature-length video discs, and the addition
of more layers left open as a future possibility.

The name Blu-ray Disc refers to the "blue laser" used to read the disc, which allows for five
times more storage than on a DVD.

The iPad is a tablet computer designed and developed by Apple. It is particularly marketed as
a platform for audio and visual media such as books, periodicals, movies, music, and games,
as well as web content. At about 700 grams (25 ounces), its size and weight are between
those of most contemporary smartphones and laptop computers. Apple released the iPad in
April 2010, and sold 3 million of the devices in 80 days.

The iPad runs the same operating system as the earlier iPod Touch and iPhone, albeit a
slightly older version. It can run its own applications as well as ones developed for the
iPhone. Without modification, it will only run programs approved by Apple and distributed
via its online store.
