Apple iPad

From my Twitter account I’ve noticed, more people were talking about the debut of the iPad than the anything of the world. This either means that people really like gadgets or that we're all sick of news.
What Apple iPad; What are the characteristics of the IPAD? It's a half-inch thick and weighs just 1.5pounds/.68kg , with a 9.7-inch capacitive touchscreen IPS LCD display, and it's running a custom 1GHz Apple "A4" chip developed by the P.A. Semi team, with a 10-hour battery life and a month of standby. It'll come in 16, 32, and 64GB sizes,There's a 30-pin Dock connector, a speaker, a microphone, Bluetooth, 802.11n WiFi and optional 3G, as well as an accelerometer and a compass. There's also a keyboard dock, which connects underneath in the portrait orientation, support for up to 1024x768 VGA out and 480p composite out through new dock adapter cables, and a camera attachment kit that lets you import photos from your camera over USB or directly through an SD reader.
The device is managed by iTunes, just like the iPhone /ipod touch/ipod.
What does it Cost? I was honestly expecting it to cost about a million dollars, which makes the actual price tag of (as low as) $499 seem pretty reasonable in comparison. It all depends on the model you want and the data plan you choose. Here's what to expect.
Will the iPad be a Success? Quote from a friend: "OK, so I was wrong about the iPod, but this is going to fail too." I'm torn, personally. It seems to me to be a lot like a netbook with a stand, but I also have friends who could buy a single, beat-up, old shoe if it had the Apple logo on it, so who knows.
My opinion, friends don’t spend your hard earn money on an iPad now. As this is the first version, it doesn’t have many features. The first version is more like a concept car than something you’d really drive. So I suggest waiting for future iterations with more features at a lower price!
