Apple iPad Tablet
“SO all of us use laptops and smartphones… the question has arisen; is there room for something in the middle. We’ve wondered for years as well — in order to create that category, they have to be far better at doing some key tasks… better than the laptop, better than the smartphone”
“What kind of tasks? Browsing the web. Doing email. Enjoying and sharing pics. Watching videos. Enjoying music. Playing games. Reading ebooks. If there’s gonna be a third category, it has to be better at these tasks — otherwise it has no reason for being.”
Powered with an amazing 10 hours of battery life, the Apple iPad has a full capacitive multitouch, and is available with 16-64GB flash storage. The Apple iPad is .5 inches thin, weighs 1.5 pounds and has a 9.7 inch IPS display with a built in iTunes store. More details are coming live on apple.com/ipad.
What is the iPad price? Starting at $499 for wi-fi model (16GB).

It says nothing about having to sign up to the Istore – and provide your credit card details before you can use it.
If Microsoft did this with windows 9 there would be war.
I was bad enough letting Apple get away with this for activating the Iphone.
We should not allow this to be the new default.
If the iPad sells at the right prices I might actually look into buying one of these. I’d pay $500 for a model that supports flash, silverlight and lets me watch Hulu!
I am looking to buy one iPad
Very good outcome from APPLE….
I want one! Once you’ve mastered the touch keyboard and had exposure to a touch screen, plus the difference in weight compared to a conventional laptop, you won’t want to go back to the old technology.
How many people out there have a touch phone and how many, when they move onto a laptop or conventional mobile phone touch the screen without thinking and nothing happens. Its so natural to go in this direction! No moving parts to worry about and the Apple operating system as well! What more could you want?
