a. The iPad has arrived along with legendary Steve Jobs. He looks good… and so does the iPad. Slim, trim, 1.5 pounds of sharp clear color, 1000 MHz 16 24 32 GB Memory… the iPad that is…

Part 1

Part 2

UPDATE 2: Pricing, $499, $599, $699. 3G add $150. Will carry textbooks – boon for students. This is a huge win for Apple.

UPDATE: Seems like the 16GB version is $499. Unbelievable, all considered. Good price for a great touch screen, if true. 

We like this device. It’s most likely priced around $1200 considering the features. Perhaps more. Maybe a streamlined version for $999.

It’s slim, clean, neat, pretty, but does it function as a Phone Screen? Can you connect it to the iPhone as a Vidscreen?

Should have a stand… nice case. Extras no doubt.

We love it even though we’re PCs. (We run XP or Unix on our Macbooks. X is an afterthought.) Give us one of these, and we’d be genuinely grateful.

Question: Can you run a sophisticated Internet business on this tablet?

Nicest video card?

That depends… yeah yeah whatever.. We’ll take two.

iTablet PC? Apologies… How about iTablet Mac? Or MacBook Touch? It’s rumored to be coming sooner than later maybe this year before Christmas rather than or 2010.

Rumor has it that it’s got an unbeatable price point for top features. Like full OSX, DVD slot, screen letter AND piano keyboard plus the usual desirables – plenty of disk space, memory, speed, battery life. But rumors are rumors.

If true, may fix the US financial Xmas doldrums… expecially the unbeatable low starter pricing. As usual, would await iteration 2 or 3.

As a Tablet PC touchscreen owner, can attest that this technology TOTALLY rocks. Write, draw onscreen – what’s not to love? Only current downside – a bit heavy and hot.

But Apple will offer a thing of beauty, sweet lines, trim polished physique, glassy smooth skin, gorgeous face. Add long battery life, low temp, what a win.

Quote: “It would be a colour, flat-panel TV to the old-fashioned, black and white TV of the Kindle,” one publishing executive said.

“could cost between $600 and $1,000…”

“…think it will have a lot of the functionality of the iPod touch, but will be quite a bit bigger…”

“It’s really just a big iPod Touch…”

One of the more exciting devices to appear on the horizon…
