check out some pictures take from live.gdgt.com

something bigger than an iPhone and smaller than a macbook.... iPad is fully touch-screen with the latest wireless 802.11n WIFI, and bluetooth 2.1 + EDR. It is indeed very light and slim which you can carry it anywhere..

the keyboard will just pop out when is needed...

the iPad has the built in calendar, address book, photos where it just to flick through and share your photos.

great maps app with Google Maps.

of coz not the missing the iTunes and Apps store

full screen of movies and games

current iPhone games are capable for it...

the newest iBook store where you can own a library of your own in the iPad

purchase from iBook and just like reading a book

new Apps ~ iWork apps for just US$9.99

Battery life for 10 hours but i really doubt it since my iPhone is draining very fast when you surf the web and using it on games..

the iPad syncs over USB with iTunes exactly like an iPhone or iPod touch. so when you sync, you sync everything. including photos, music, movies, Tv shows, contracts, calendars, bookmarks, apps...etc..

the iPad price range from lowest of US$499 for 16GB storage wifi model to $699 for 64GB storage and additional of US$130 for wifi + 3G model. However, it seems like not the normal sim card for 3G, its using the micro-SIMs... though all models are unlocked !

all apple products come with lots of great accessories... currently now is the Dock... which attached with a keyboard.. just nice like using a laptop at home..

iPad casing... i'm loving this... it can be foldable.. as a stand for vertical and horizontal and it can close it just like a laptop while protecting the huge screen too

Disappointment of iPad?

I was hoping for a XXS of Macbook but it appear to be the XXL of iPhone 3GS hence it's still lack of the camera. and Why not iPad add on with the build-in Isight camera? it will be more fun with it.

Lack of flash in safari for iPad... no facebook games...

Will the SDK developer create a Microsoft office apps? where one can edit/ create the words, excel etc rather than just viewing on the iPad.

Besides that still wish that iPad can store the files just like a macbook does without sync through iTunes.

Lastly the Apple iPad will be shipped out in US end of March for wifi model and April for wifi + 3G model. So when will it reach Malaysia? Just stay tuned... =]

Apple iPad Introduction Video from youtube

Actually I was feeling weird when first saw the name of this latest apple device but i thought is just me thinking too much.... however later found this hilarious clip... i think Apple should really think twice of creating a better name for its device in future... hahhaaa

* shall i put iPad into my wish list of 2010 now??
