It's out -- Apple has launched iPAD. It's like the current trend in Farmville today, the super Pumpkin! Apple's newest gadget is like an oversized iPod touch.
It's a half-inch thick, weighs only 1.5 pounds and is sporting at 9.7 inch screen. Pretty close to all those rumors floating around the web this week. The iPad has an incredible 10 hours of battery life and one month of standby. It comes standard with a built in mic, speakers, Bluetooth, WI-Fi as well as an accelerometer and a compass. You can also purchase a keyboard dock if the virtual keyboard doesn't do it for you. You also have a 3G option that runs on AT&T for connection on the go. Data plans start at $14.99 and an unlimited plan for $29.99 a month. No contract. Every iPad is unlocked and comes with a GSM "micro-SIM" so you can use it abroad. It also comes standard with iTunes, iWork and an ereader called iBook. It can run all of your current iPhone apps and syncs seamlessly with your Mac.
Pricing starts at $499 for 16GB, 32 GB for $599 and 64GB for $699. Adding 3G will cost you $130 per model. (64GB 3G will cost $829)
The Wi-Fi devices will ship in 60 days, 3G in 90.
We've got to see if there will be video camera add-on for video conferencing. iPad will surely put a considerable cut on Kindle's market share. So start saving, it will be out in 2 months or less.
