Introducing the Apple iPad

Now you can literally hold the Internet in your hands and navigate naturally with your fingers like you would a newspaper or magazine.  Introducing the iPad, what Apple is describing as a whole new kind of device that turns advanced technology into a hand-held experience with instinctive finger-touch navigation, along with an impressive viewing experience.

At just 1.5 lbs, 0.5 inches thick and about 10 inches long, the iPad  connects to the fastest Wi-Fi networks to give you access to everything from email, videos and photos, to music, web pages and more at just the touch of a finger.   The iPad runs almost 140,000 apps from the App Store (and any you’ve downloaded to your iPhone) and also features iBooks and iTunes stores as well.

The iPad utilizes multi-touch technology similar to that of the iPhone, but on a much larger scale, with over 1000 sensors in the design.  The iPad rotates the screen to whatever orientation you are holding it in so basically there’s no up or down and its IPS technology allows for a wide viewing angle so you can hold it any way you want and still enjoy a brilliant display.

The iPad comes with up to 10 hours of battery life and its wireless technology allows you to connect devices such as wireless headphones or the Apple Wireless Keyboard, although the iPad also comes equipped with a touch-screen keyboard and built-in speakers and microphone.

The Wi-Fi iPad is scheduled to hit the market in March, starting at $499, and a 3G model with data speeds up to 7.2 Mbps should hit in April.
