Apple announce new second-generation iPad yesterday night 2.00am (Asia time). Surprisingly Apple CEO, Steve Jobs turns up for this event.
Besides the original Black, the new iPad 2 comes with Apple's classic color ~~ WHITE too!! New features include upgraded dual-core A5 chip and most wanted front and rear cameras. Lighter weight from 601g only and 8.8mm thickness was thinner than the existing iPad and even the iPhone 4 can you believe it? Thinner than iphone 4, so scared it will break. hahaa thats why Apple introduce the new Smart Cover.
It has been some times ppl rumours about the Apple new Tablet device. The Apple CEO Steve Jobs had just announced their latest creation ~ iPad at The Apple Keynote 2010 held on 27 Jan 2010 in San Francisco.
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... =]
