The Apple iPad has been splashed all over Apple’s homepage with a set launch date of March for the Wi-Fi version and April for the Wi-Fi + 3G version. Prices start at $499 for the Wi-Fi 16GB model and go up to $699 for the 64GB Wi-Fi only version. The 3G versions will add about a hundred more dollars to the cost.
The Apple iPAD features a 9.7″ display with 1024-by-768-pixel resolution at 132 pixels per inch (ppi) and supports everything from Safari, iTunes, iBooks, Movies, Music. It is the ultimate combination and hybrid of iPod touch and Tablet PC. It can replace your iPod, Kindle and Notebook in a single device that costs barely more than the highest iPOD model.
To me this is a simply amazing technical achievement and I think Apple may do for the tablet PC what they did for the music player. This is now my new “Must Have” item and I will be hoping to get one shortly after release.

Height: 9.56 inches (242.8 mm)
Width: 7.47 inches (189.7 mm)

Hmmm, I know what I’m saving for on my prize site I use lol. This thing looks AWESOME, even though I would be scared to break it since it’s so thin. And yeah, the price isn’t as bad as I thought it would be when I first heard rumors of them releasing this. Can’t wait!

This is exactly the type of thing that I shouldn’t have because I’d break or lose it! Still, I’m DROOLING over here and still waiting to get my hands on an iPhone. Apple is going to revolutionize the game with a product like this. Magazines, newspapers, TEXTBOOKS… just imagine all of the capabilities.

Well today is the day that Apple blessed us with the the glorious Apple iPad. Personally it’s exactly what I thougtht it was gonna be practically a bigger iTouch, I’m actually gonna wait until the next generation to pick one up. I want to see one with a USB, microphone, camera and multitasking before I’ll make the jump. I especially think that a microphone is the most important feature it is missing. What do you guys think?

According to the specs, iPAD has a built in microphone already.

I’ve just watched the Apple presentation and I’m not entirely convinced that this will be a massive hit. I think it’s a device that not many of us really need and that’s one of the reasons that such devices have never really taken off in the past. Despite this, I’m sure that if anyone can turn it into a success then Apple can. The price didn’t seen too bad though, but I think this is probably down to the lack of a proper MacBook type OS on the machine.

Dont think this is worth any where near what they are saying it will cost, you could pick up a much better laptap for the price of an ipad.

The ipad will be utterly ridiculous. I can not see myself dropping $400 to $600 to get a machine which can’t accomplish most of the stuff which my notebook can. I normally like Apple, especially the apple iphone. It is just seems a tad overboard. I wish them well nevertheless I will not be getting one anytime in the near future.

Interesting, but I don’t see it’s usefulness as a notebook if you need another computer for it work. ?? Other than that I will just wait to read your full review once you’ve received yours and had a chance to check it out.

I think more it is a hybrid replacement for kindle/iPod/ portable movie player. But with the added feature of internet surfing, emails and such. the fact that you can hold it like a tablet instead of having to set and open like a notebook is convenient.

I cannot wait! But we are seriously wishing we hadn’t gone out for the big Kindle last summer!

Yes certainly Apple iPad is an amazing device with an amazing pricing. But I’m afraid due to some drawbacks, such as lack of a USB port & camera, may not let the iPad be that successful product. True as mentioned by one of the commenter here, ’you could pick up a much better laptap for the price of an ipad.’
I’m waiting for the user reviews before purchasing it

Thanks, I also don’t know if the iPAD will compete with a cheap laptop.

Do you think the rumours of it having an in-built camera are true? I consider them to be false quite honestly due to just being another addition to the expenses of Apple’s industrial line.

There are a lot of rumors going around right now that it may be pushed back a little further then originally planned. I really hope not.

I think Apple the iPad is overpriced, obviously a legacy of the macbook. It will still sell as its an Apple product but the value concious consumer would not buy it – why would they when a higher-specification standard laptop is a cheaper option. The lack of a ‘real’ keyboard will put a lot of people off as a tool to get things done.

I can’t wait for this. We have to wait a little longer for the iPad here in Australia, but it would appear the ibook store will be coming here after all – so that’s a huge bonus!
