Apple has recently released it's new iPad, which looks something in between it's iPhone and the wildly successful Macbook line of computers. The iPad has a 9.7" 1024 by 768 pixel capacitive multi-touch LED backlit screen and is thinner and lighter than any laptop or netbook, and weighs only 1.5 pounds.
This device will provide fresh competition against e-Books like the Amazon Kindle, and Netbooks introduced a couple of years ago by various computer manufacturers. It has a 25 watt-hour lithium polymer battery which can keep the iPad powered for roughly 10 hours and 45 minutes, after which it needs to be plugged in.
The iPad packs Apple's custom 1GHz A4 system on-a-chip. Also on board is 802.11a /b/g/n WiFi, Bluetooth 2.1, a digital compass, accelerometer, microphone, and ambient light sensor. It has a 30 pin connector just as on other mobile devices. It runs more than 150,000 apps that work on the iPhone. It comes with 16, 32, or 64 Gigabytes of Flash memory. It however does not have USB ports or a Web cam, neither is the memory upgradeable, which if added would tremendously increase the value of this computing device.
