The NEW Apple iPad

[Xtreme Chaos]

heres a few details of the NEW Apple iPad
( some people thought it was gonna be called the iSlate or iTablet )

iPhone looking device with a 9.7-inch IPC LED screen

1Ghz Apple A4 processor

Full capacitive multitouch screen

Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 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

More details to follow....

$829 for the top end 64GB 3G model

The iPad will be shipping in 60 days, with an extra 30 added to that for the 3G models, giving them time to set up the network contracts with AT&T

It's just a glorified Giant iTouch. Would have been tonnes better if it had actual OSX running on it.

Having said that - I can see it getting some use, my job at the moment in reprographics, I could see it fitting it very well - but I doubt the school will be getting them in in a hurry!
