Apple CEO Steve Jobs Unveils the New iPad

Share

The much anticipated Apple product was announced on Wednesday, January 27th, at 1pm San Francisco time.  For months, tech nerds and Apple fans have been buzzing about the “truly magical and revolutionary product” now named the iPad. The iPad is a tablet said to be a cross between a laptop and an iPhone, yet better than both.  It is 10 inches and operates without a key pad.  Some say it looks like an oversized iPhone.  Mr. Jobs announced that the iPad will have a starting price of $499 USD.   Some bloggers and critics are saying that the supposed gap between an iPhone and a laptop is an unnecessary one to fill.  Others praise the tablet and predict that it will be a hit among college students because it is an entertainment and educational device all-in-one that is easier to tote around than a laptop. What do you think? Is an iPad for you?
