Steve Jobs unveiled the new apple iPad today at an event in San Francisco. Referred to as a universal entertainment device, the iPad features a 9.7 inch touch screen and is only a half inch thick. It is the ideal hybrid between the iphone and a netbook.
Many apple fans are speculating this will revolutionize the computer industry and have the same mass affect that ipods had to MP3 players.
Because of it’s portability, it will be ideal for movies, gaming, email, video conferencing, ebooks, music, email and browsing on the go.
The wi-fi models start at $500 for a 16GB version and go up to $700 for 60GB models. The 3G Models (7.2Mbps HSDPA) will be sold with an unlocked micro sim card. $630 for 16GB version, $730 for 32GB, and $830 for 64GB.
