is iPad just another cute device

Steve Jobs (Apple CEO) announced the long waited Apple tablet during the Apple Press Conference on January 27, 2010. It is called iPad and looks like a large iPod touch.

iPad features and hardware configuration.

• Display 9.7 – inch IPS
• Thin 12.7mm
• Weight 0.68Kg
• Processor 1GHz custom Apple chip (A4)
• Include a Keyboard functions as a dock.

What are the options you have?

You can have 16GB – US$499, $32GB - $599 and 64GB – US$699. For additional US$130 you can have the 3G model.

At a glance, you cannot see any excitement in iPad. It is a very new gadget to the tech world. Tablet PCs been around the world for some times but this is the first time Apple introducing such a device. As Steve Jobs precented, it sits between the iPod and MacBook.

iPod replaced the walkmans. iPhone replaced the normal phones. People argue that iPad is not trying to replace any of the existing devices we use today. For me iPad is more like device that Apple uses to experiment the market for a future killing product.It is more like a iPod touch which is in between the iPhone and iPod. What can we expect next?
