iPad is here!


After many long months of anticipation, rumors, and many weird photoshoped pictures of so called "iTablets or iSlates," it was confirmed as of January 27, 2010 with the official name "iPad" Apple unveiled there very own Tablet computer! This computer is called by many a "Giant iPhone," but it has many new advanced features only Apple can create. With the release of the iPad comes many new features such as a revolutionary new way to read books, play games, surf the internet, and check and manage you e-mail. First off the basic specs for this model include a 1Ghz Apple A4 chip, 9.7 in. diagonal LED-backlit touch screen, as well as being 0.5 and inch thick, 10 hour battery, and Wi-Fi and 3G capabilities. It's base price is 499$ being released late March and the price increases depending on how much storage you choose to buy with it. I think this new device with revolutionize schools by saving paper and making everything digital, and the teachers and students won't have to deal with heavy large books with the new "iBook" Store. I think as the iPad gets more popular Apple with put as many; text, children, story, and chapter books in the "iBook" Store.

They push this as a revolutionizing feature they will push to have this machine hopefully replace books all together. apple will hope to succeed to grab any people searching for a device in between a smartphone, and laptop (whom the device is targeting). I think this device will become known for the 3rd party software being developed for the official release date. Apple will definitely utilize 3rd party software, and in the long run the iPad will be huge as more and more new and creative software comes out, just like the applications for the iPhone and iPod Touch. Not much is known about this device besides what Steve Jobs told us, so I think this device has potential we cant even begin to imagine! Just for the record, many people are comparing the iPad to the iPhone, and last time I checked the iPhone was the most selling phone of all time so I guess that isn't such a bad thing ;) We Will keep you updated on any news regarding the iPad.
