iPad…the big brother of iPhone and iTouch

Just as Google made public its new smartphone, the Nexus One, here comes Apple with its latest innovation… the iPad.
Yeah you see it right and I am not dumb to misspell it. The new Apple tablet has just been unveiled by no other than Mr. Steve Jobs and it is like an oversized iPhone in size and in its features.
The 9.7 inch display and half an inch thick and just weighs one and a half pound comes with the same 16 and 32 GB of flash memory storage. It boasts of 10 hours of battery life and a month for standby time.
It has a built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth capabilities for Internet usage and a nearly full-size keypad. Basically it can load and run any application that you can run on your iPhone.
It is a tablet PC which is just larger than the iPhone but smaller than the normal laptop.
The price is the real attention grabber. You can purchase one for only $499! Yes you see it right, only $499 for the 16GB model and $599 for the 32GB model. Also a 64GB model is expected to cost $699.
3G models are also expected to be released which is much pricier than the basic models.
It is also announced that AT&T will offer units with data plan.
Experts says that there is nothing much to expect than getting a larger screen for an iPhone or iTouch. Also, some missing features are the built-in camera and Flash is still not supported for the Web browser.
The only thing that may lure consumers in this new innovation from Apple is the price; which for many may or may not be a big factor because features are better weighed than the price tag.

There’s no multitasking on this thing just like the iPhone, which is not that good, considering that Apple is pushing this as a “netbook”. Hopefully, they’ll consider putting a real OS..
Can’t argue with the price though, considering it’s from Apple

Apple has always been one of the well known companies that set trends for newer generations. So, this means small is out and HUGE is in? I don’t know, I guess I’m just to old. Does it come in a smaller size, say, 1/8th? Maybe it folds four ways? Hmmm….
