The Apple iPad is Official

Apple iPad

As we all knew it was coming, Apple today officially unveiled the iPad. The iPad is obviously situated as something in between a smartphone and a laptop. Steve Jobs says it is designed to handle certain critical tasks very well. Things like browsing the web, email, photos, videos, music, games and eBooks. In short, the iPad is a great big iPhone with a few more bells and whistles.

The iPad interface is just like the iPhone with a capactive touch screen input. There’s even a slide to unlock feature to get into your iPad. The iPad even has a larger version of the iPhone’s QWERTY keyboard that comes on screen when you need to type something.

Web browsing works with the same touch swiping, zooming and scrolling that iPhone users are familiar with. Synching the iPad works just like the iPhone, over the standard iPod connector.

The iPad is available in 3 different WiFi models of 16GB, 32GB and 64GB storage capacities at $499, $599 and $699, respectively. Stepping up to WiFi + 3G models will set you back $629, $729 and $829, respective to the same storage sizes. Wi-Fi-only models ship in 60 days, while the 3G models will ship in 90 days.

My initial thoughts to all the hype and hoopla about the new rumored iSlate, Apple Tablet, iPad… or whatever it is to be called was “Big Deal!” So, We’re going to have another table style device that we can surf the web and read books from while setting on the can. But then I saw the above rendering at Crunchgear and my wheels started turning I thought, “this thing could become a sort of Netbook possibly even a laptop replacement.” The possibilities are now endless in my mind. Now, needless to say, I am anxiously awaiting the arrival like everyone else. I just hope Apple doesn’t disappoint. If you want to find out what others are thinking I’ve included some links below.
