Apple has indeed launched a tablet, the iPad

I will update as i get them!
Is running a form of the ipod/iphone OS
  • Full Capacitive multi-touch
  • 16GB, 32GB or 64 GB
  • 0.5 inches thick, 1.5 pounds
  • 9.7inch IPS display
  • The 1GHz Apple A4 chip.
  • Bluetooth
  • Wifi 802.11n
  • Accelerometer
  • Compass
  • Speaker and Mic
  • 10 hours batter life
  • Run iphone apps unmodified!
  • Has no trouble with youtube HD
  • Optional 3G!
All looks very slick so far, when using iphone/ipod apps they run in a small window nativly, but can be full screened. Which looks silly on some (facebook app springs to mind) but on others pretty good, like racing games.

Has a ibook app for downloading ebooks ( ePub format), buy them straight from the ipad, has a virtual bookshelf, nice touch.

Models with 3G, they will be unlocked, in the US AT&T giving 250mb a month for $14.99 unlimited for $29.99 with no contract.
Price starting at $499 at current exchange rate that's £308 but I would imagine it being a lot more than that in the UK.
Availability 60 days for the wifi only version, 90 days for the 3G version.

    Be bangin' to use apps on the big screen like games and films etc, but that's not worth $500 and that's the minimum!? Worst thing is, people buy this stuff, apple is literally making a killing selling things they've already made, it's just an ipod touch with a bigger screen, nothing more at all. Ruddy vultures. Wish i'd thought of it...
