Speculation is over!, Apple has unveiled its iPad. The slim, large screen device evokes much of the same user interface as the iPhone but is bigger and has some surprise features including Apple’s own custom chip.
SPECS-
- The tablet is 0.5 inches thick and weighs 1.5 pounds.
- It has a 9.7 inch display with 1024 x 768 pixel resolution. It also has capacitive multi-touch that’s similar to the iPhone.
- The device runs Apple’s own processor, a 1GHz Apple A4 chip — possibly the fruits of of Apple’s $278 million acquisition of PA semiconductor in 2008.
- The iPad will have 16 GB to 64 GB flash storage.
- It includes speaker, microphone, and accelerometer so you can use the device in both landscape and portrait mode. There’s also a compass.
- Up to 10 hours of battery life and one month of standby time.
- It offers Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity
- It will include optional 3G access from AT&T. For $30 a month, users can get unlimited data. For iPhone users already crying out in pain about their bondage to the AT&T network, here’s something to sweeten the deal: No contracts are required for the data plan. iPad users can cancel their data connectivity at any time.
- The iPad will cost $500 for 16GB, $600 for 32GB and $700 for a 64GB model. But if you want 3G connectivity, add another $130 to the price tag.
