The new iPad launched by Apple. The device has a 9.7-inch LCD touch-screen display, which makes use of the same multitouch technology found on the iPhone, Apple's Magic Mouse, and the company's notebook trackpads. The iPad will also function as an e-reader, using Apple's new iBooks store, which will feature popular books as well as textbooks. The new app features a virtual bookshelf with content from all five major publishers: Harper Collins, Hachette, Penguin, Macmillan, and Simon & Shuster
Like the iPhone and iPod, it sports a finger-friendly OS with an on-screen QWERTY keyboard. The iPad is 0.5 inches thick and weighs 1.5 pounds. It sports a 9.7-inch IPS display, the same display used in the latest generation iMac.
The iPad has a fully capacitive multitouch screen. Its 1GHz custom Apple chip--called A4--is the company's most advanced. The processor, graphics, and i/o memory controller are combined on one chip. The device has many debating whether it's the best Apple product ever, or just a big iPhone (or both).
