Apple iPad

After nearly a year of speculation apple has finally released information on its new product the iPad, many were hoping for the first Apple tablet computer. Sadly many were disappointed. The iPad is basically just a big iPod touch.

We were expecting something to run Snow Leopard (Apple’s newest operating system). The iPad runs the basic iPhone software though, with some minor alterations to the E-Mail and Safari apps.

The iPad also lacks a camera. Come on Apple it is 2010 even phones have at least one camera if not two.

There will be two models a Wi-Fi and a 3G Version. The 3G iPad will most likely run on AT&T’s data plan. Unlimited data is$29.99 a month. A 250MB plan, will be available for half that at $14.99 a month.

App wise the iPad can run anything for the iPhone and some developers can make apps for it that will take advantage of the iPad’s large 9.7 inch screen.
