Apple has released its new tablet PC dubbed as the Apple iPad. It has a 9.7″ LED backlight display and multi touch screen, which means it allows the user to touch on more than one point on the iPad’s LCD screen at any given time. The iPad is remarkably thin (half an inch) and weighs around 600g (or 1.5 pounds) and uses a modified version of the iPhone OS. This means that iPhone apps will work on the new iPad with its already 140,000 apps available from Apple’s app store.
The iPad is said to me “more intimate” than a laptop and is a great way to access e-books as well as multimedia such as photos, and video. The public has noticed that the new iPad looks alot like a larger version of the iPhone (or an iPod Touch). At a starting price of $499 USD, there is much talk and hype for this device and analysts reckon that Apple has hit the price point for the new iPad right on the mark. Only time will tell.
