This device isn't up for sale yet, but when it does I'm more than sure it will sell like hot cakes.
What do you think about this new device?

Since I've already brought this to alot of you guys attention, I will go ahead and say that APPLE IS / WILL BE THE UNDISPUTEDLY IDEAL BRAIN FOR MODERN DAY TECHNOLOGY.



The Apple iPad - All of the built-in apps on iPad were designed from the ground up to take advantage of the large, Multi-Touch screen. And they’ll work in any orientation. So you can do things with these apps you can’t do on any other device.

The large Multi-Touch screen on iPad lets you see web pages as they were meant to be seen — one whole page at a time. With vibrant color and sharp text. So whether you’re looking at a page in portrait or landscape, you can see everything at a size that’s actually readable. And with iPad, navigating through the web has never been easier, or more intuitive. Because you use the most natural pointing device there is: your finger. You can scroll through a page just by flicking your finger up or down on the screen. Or pinch to zoom in or out on a photo. There’s also a thumbnail view that shows all your open pages in a grid, to let you quickly move from one page to the next.

See and touch your email in ways you never could before. In landscape, you get a split-screen view, showing both an opened email and the messages in your Inbox. To see the opened email by itself, you just turn iPad to portrait, and the email automatically rotates and fills the screen. No matter which orientation you use, you can scroll through your mail, compose a new email using the large, on-screen keyboard, or delete messages, with nothing more than a tap and a flick. If someone emails you a photo, you can see it right in the message. You can also save the photos in an email directly to the built-in Photos app. And iPad will work with all the popular email providers, including MobileMe, Yahoo! Mail, Gmail, Hotmail, and AOL.

With its crisp, vibrant display, and its unique software features, iPad is an extraordinary way to enjoy and share your photos. For example, the new Photos app displays the photos in an album as though they were in a stack. Just tap or pinch to open the stack, and the whole album opens up. Then you can flip through your pictures, zoom in or out, or watch a slideshow. You can even use your iPad as a beautiful digital photo frame while your iPad is docked or charging. And there are lots of ways to import photos: you can sync them from your computer, download them from an email, or import them directly from your camera using the Apple Camera Connection Kit.

The large, high-resolution screen makes iPad perfect for watching any kind of video: from HD movies and TV shows, to podcasts and music videos. You can also easily move between wide-screen and full-screen with a double-tap. And because it’s essentially one big screen, with no buttons or anything to distract you, the picture fills your line of sight. So you feel completely immersed in what you’re watching.

The YouTube app organizes videos so they’re really easy to see and navigate. To watch one, you just tap it. When you’re watching in landscape, the video will automatically play in full screen. And with its high-resolution display, the latest YouTube HD videos will look amazing on iPad.

With the iPod app, all your music is literally at your fingertips. You can browse by album, song, artist, or genre, with a simple flick. To play a song, just tap it, and the now playing screen will show the album art at full size. Then you can listen to your music with either the powerful built-in speaker, or with wired or Bluetooth wireless headphones.

Just tap on the iTunes Store icon, and you can browse and buy music, TV shows, podcasts — or buy and rent movies — wirelessly, right from your iPad. There are thousands of movies and TV shows (in both standard and high definition), along with thousands of podcasts, and millions of songs to choose from. You can even preview songs before you buy them. And you can sync iPad with the content you already have in your iTunes library on your Mac or PC.

iPad will run almost 140,000 apps from the App Store. Everything from games to business apps, and more. And new apps that have been designed just for iPad are highlighted, so you can easily find the ones that take full advantage of its features. Just tap the App Store icon on the screen and you’ll be able to browse, buy, and download apps wirelessly, right to the iPad.

The iBooks app is a great, new way to read and buy books.1 Just download the app for free from the App Store, and you’ll be able to buy everything from classics to bestsellers from the built-in iBookstore. Once you’ve bought a book, it’s displayed on your Bookshelf. To read it, all you have to do is tap on it and it opens up. The high-resolution, LED-backlit screen displays everything in sharp, rich, color, so it’s very easy to read, even in low light.

See more of the world with high-resolution Satellite and Street View images. You can even see topography with the new Terrain view. You can also search for a nearby business type (for example, “Restaurant”) and then tap on that business to see the route and directions from your current location.

With its expansive display and large, on-screen keyboard, iPad makes jotting down notes easy. In landscape mode, you get not only a note-taking page but a list of all your notes. It even circles the current note in red. So you can see where you are at a glance.

The Home Screen gives you one-tap access to everything on iPad. You can also customize your Home Screen by adding your favorite apps and websites, or using your own photos for the background. And you can move apps around to arrange them in any order you want.

 

isnt called the i-slate or someshit

 

cool a giant ipod touch!!!

 

looks madd nice, ehh $499 lol,

 

Nah they settled on I-Pad and its an epic fail imo

 

lmfao i thought this was ah coolie remake of an ipod cuz ppl call it " I-Paad" not I-Pod XD

 

word yo thatz some crazy shyt ...but itz like an ipod touch...but wayy bigger...but dam yo apple is doing big thingz once again...but thatz alot of money still but it looks worth having for show and thing...wonder wat else apple and shit got instore for 2010...

 

oh shit man lookin like a computer, buh portable, small an touch screen. i might buy dis actually

 

lol why would you spend all the money on it when it doesnt have a camera? has no multitasking? and how the **** are you supposed to type on it? i dont think you can hold it in two hands and actually type with your thumbs...since you wouldnt be able to reach the middle and on top of that if you lay it flat on the table that would be annoying as ****...once again i think its a fail on apples behalf..everyone is gonna run out and get it, complain about it, then there gonna drop a better one like in a year and people gonna ***** about how they just bought this one and a new better one come out???

 

apple is a prime example of good advertising. if any of you do plan on getting it, you should wait for the other 5 versions that'll come out this year that upgrades on only one component each.

 

lol it has no flash capability you cant run more then one app at a time it cant replace a laptop...trigga is right tho they will probably improve everything by model number 4 or 5 lol

Why the I-Pad sucks courtesy of Gizmodo http://i.gizmodo.com/5458382/8-things-that-suck-about-the-ipad

 

you guys are right, the iPad is only a itouch but bigger. once its jailbroken then you can do alot more, but other than that its just an itouch on steroids . What i was hopping for when Steve jobs made his presentation today that he was going to atleast hint about the new iphone 4g or even the new os 4.0. such a disappointment. he also didn't even state which mobile company would be next to hold the iphone as a carrier.

 

that shit looks fiya i want oneeeee crap i dont even got the itouch. =/ 499? OD. but i think it might be worth it with all tha stuff it can do. hmm technology these dayss are insaneeeee yet entertaining.

 

you got to be a realllll fool to buy this shit. My android phone can do more than this obese ipod touch. For 500 i can get a decent laptop w/ tons of more features. I bought the itouch when it first came out for 400, it was 16gb. This APPLE reign needs to end and this may be one of factors which will cause its downfall.
-I am a PC

 

Apple made really good with the iPod and iPhone, now they tryin to bridge the gap between computer and pda or whatever, but i think they gonna flop with this iPad

 

It would be good if it was actually running Mac OSX. But it's basically just a big iPod touch. I would only use this as a textbook for college with the App thats available on the App Store.

 

I see that u could mount this is your car

 

The Ipad looks nice but I think it's a waste of money.

 

iPad-------> first time apple let me down =(

 

Probably way too many bugs at first, maybe a couple generations after
