After nearly a decade of rumors and speculation, Apple’s finally unveiled the iPad. It’s a half-inch thick and weighs just 1.5 pounds, 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, and it’s got the expected connectivity: very little.
OK…not blown away at all…at least not yet……still waiting for Video capabilities (shooting and editing rather than viewing)…at least a front facing cam (WebCam) feature, and seamless integration/communication with TV via something like AppleTV (Scoble had talked about this 3 way btw phone, tablet, and TV, and so I was finding I could use this as well). Still watching and waiting.
