The iPad
iPhone looking device with a 9.7-inch IPC LED screen

1Ghz Apple A4 processor

Full capacitive multitouch screen

Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, but no mention of a SIM-card slot

Comes complete with a compass, accelerometer, speaker and microphone

The iTunes, App Store, Contacts, iPhoto and Calendar applications have been given an iPad friendly aesthetic overhaul

It weighs 1.5lbs and is just 0.5-inches thick

It has a ten-hour battery life, which is boosted to one month in standby mode

It comes in 16GB, 32GB and 64GB flash memory models

It does not appear to be Flash-ready

It can display newspapers such as the New York Times, brilliantly, showing off a new way to digest newspapers online, while retaining the design integrity of the newspaper

The on-screen QWERTY keyboard is huge and appears very easy to use.

On first appearances, most of the typing is going to be done with the thumbs while holding the device in two hands

The new SDK for the iPad is being released today, but all iPhone apps will run on the iPad

iPhone 3Gs 32GB

Sounds like an iPOD for those with impared vision, if you need a 9+" sat nav in the car I would get your eyes tested as perhaps you shouldn't be on the road!
Seriously though I wonder what market this is aimed at as its a rather large lump to carry around let alone try and use in a vehicle! But I guess being a new Apple product hundreds of thousands will queue up to purchase it irrespective of the price - Mike

I really don't get this 'attitude' that some have nor why you would choose to comment if you don't want it?

My GPS comments were made in a tongue in cheek manner ahead of the launch. I have a 42" TV, does that mean my eyesight must be impaired too?

If you don't like it fine, no issue at all with that. A very dull world if we all agreed. But no-one is forcing you to buy one so why take such an anti stance all the time?

Personally I would like a tablet. I can relax on the couch and browse the web/email etc in comfort. Will I buy one? Maybe I will, who knows. Do I 'need' one. No, but why should that stop me wanting one? I don't 'need' a myriad of things that I own but they all do something that I can justify buying them for and that is good enough for me.

Quite why so many feel the need to vent their spleens over Apple I simply fail to understand We 'get' that you don't like it but why resent Apple and those who may think otherwise just because you don't?

Bizarre

As it transpires, the iPad seems to lack a GPS so it's become OT for this forum anyway.

I still can't decide whether I want an iPhone. I had a quick look at the picture of Steve Jobs holding the iPad and it immediately reminded me of Trigger Happy TV Dom Jolly's mobile phone.

(I'm not knocking Apple - I love my MacBook and just wish I could get to use it all the time).

If it tastes good - it's fattening.

Two of them are obesiting!!

This might be too much of a niche market. After all the hype, I don't see this being a product like the iPod or iPhone in terms of sales.

Hmm. Well i wouldn't want one.

Well, when i say "i wouldn't want one" i mean i do want one, i just don't want to want one. I mean, obviously i want one, but the cost... But then it could replace a laptop and my ipod and my phone. No wait, it's not pocket sized. But a GPS that you could lay out like a map and if it could be mounted in the car and be the music player, sat nav, traffic guide, play a film and be a handsfree phone. Wow.

I do want one.

I think.

No. I'd probably just break it....

Damm, Apple. Always making good looking stuff i want. But i'll have the last laugh. Just because they make me want it doesn't mean i'll go out and buy one. I win!

I think.

Think different...
