Apple iPad Finally Launched
There will be plenty of launches this year, but only a few will truly be ground breaking. Early this January, we all saw the unveiling of the first Google branded phone at the Googleplex in Mountain View, California. While the device was certainly all that we suspected it to be in terms of specs, it hardly came close to the expected sales performance predicted by many, Google included.
And so went the supposed iPhone killer. With Apple’s main mobile phone still on top place, they are already poised to deliver the iPhone 4G later this year. For now, Apple’s bringing something else to the spotlight.
Meet the new Apple iPad.
Yes, not really the most imaginative of names, but it seems to be a much better fit than iSlate (and it sounds a lot better too). This tablet bridges the gap between mobile phones and net books (wait, was that not what the Nokia Booklet 3G was?); or so Apple says. Couch surfing has always been limited to fiddling on your mobile phone or your net book at home, but now, Apple presents to us a device dedicated to making social networking access, emailing, minor document editing an even more convenient task.
This slim little tablet has a whooping 9.7 inch touch screen display with a scratch resistant surface. The 1024 x 768 native resolution on the device will meant that you can view websites in the size they were meant to be. The screen is multi-touch capable, meaning you can tap, drag and pinch your way into the interface, files and websites in a breeze.
Not surprisingly, this device does not have a removable battery or a replaceable hard drive. Meaning you will have to make do with the default 16/32/64GB variants. At least the battery is reportedly long lasting (up to 10 hours of usage).
