Technology • Views: 4,152

Apple’s new tablet computer, dubbed the iPad, was announced today; the device looks like an oversized iPhone or iPod Touch, runs iPhone Apps, and will be shipping later this year. It weighs 1.5 pounds and has a 9.7 inch display, Bluetooth, 802.11n wireless, a battery life of up to 10 hours, and a 1 GHz Apple A4 chip. Haven’t seen a price yet.

Engadget has a live-updating page with lots of photographs from the event: Live from the Apple ‘latest creation’ event — Engadget.

Apple also announced a new online bookstore, iBooks. Looks like Jobs is going head to head with Bezos.

I saw articles predicting a price of $1000+ for the iPad, so it’s a very nice surprise to see these prices announced:

Wifi model:
16GB - $499
32GB - $599
64GB - $699

Wifi + 3G:
16GB - $629
32GB - $729
64GB - $829

The promo video for the iPad is now up at Apple: Apple - iPad - The best way to experience the web, email, & photos.
