Apple has just announced the looming release of the iPad, a touch screen device that could revolutionize the electronics industry. Apple says the Touch was meant mainly to present typical iPad features, not to replicate the iPhone, and it included the Web browser only so users could get onto Wi-Fi to use the mobile music store in certain places that required a log-in screen.

However, maybe it won’t but there is already an extremely bi-partisan view when it comes to liking the new iPad device. Here is a quick overview of what it will be all about. The iPad is essentially a moveable entertainment system. It allows you to watch movies, read ebooks and news stories, play games, listen to music, and also send email. It is sort of a souped up version of the iPod Touch, apart from a significantly larger display. With its full-color 9.7-inch screen, it matches the size of the Amazon Kindle DX (one of the largest-screened ebook readers at present on the market). The iPad weighs 1.5 pounds and, according to Apple, has 12 hours of battery life. The iPad can run most App Store apps, and its interface is similar to that of the iPod, so it’ll be an easy tool to use if you already have some familiarity with Apple’s latest products. If you like the iPod Touch and iPhone, you must like the iPad.

However, there is an additional feature that lets it act like a new type of ebook reader as well and now Apple has joined the battle of the eBook Readers. The iPad will allow you to read, download, and purchase publications and books in full color. That means you can read your favorite magazines and publications within full color. Like earlier iPads, the Touch is stylish and capable, and works smoothly with Apple’s free iTunes software for Windows and Macintosh PCs, as well as with its computer-based online iTunes Store, which sells far more downloaded songs and TV shows than any other legal outlet. This doesn’t mean that anyone in the market for an ebook reader will automatically select the iPad, though. The iPad kind of makes ebook readers on the market look ridiculous; however, they are totally different devices. IPads are computers that can dual as an ebook reader. It may be a tough sell to the person who just wants an ebook reader to spend the extra money for a “fantastic device”.

Getting to view all your videos, read all your books, listens to all your music, and play with all your games and apps. IPad will win several of fans. You can also download stuff with Wi-Fi connectivity; however the 3G capability is not available yet on the devices. In fact the iPad will work while others have failed. The touch screen tablet PC is not a new thing and In fact, many companies have failed in the past trying to make profit on these. In spite of these downsides, the Touch is a great media player, and the iPad remains the best end-to-end portable solution for playing and purchasing music and video.

facebook.com & twitter.com – Apple doesn’t want Adobe Flash on their mobile OS because it’s unstable. You can disagree with that all you want – I’ll punch holes in every flawed argument you present. It has nothing to do with Apple wanting to make more money – it has to do with controlling the consumer experience, much like other CE manufacturers do. Flash would ruin the iPhone OS experience, not enhance it.

go.tagjag.com – twitter.com – I started the countdown 24 hours ahead of time for my iPad unboxing. UPS was kind enough to make a mistake, and delivered it early! I set it out on my desk, and spent the day teasing everyone about the fact that I was going to get to open it early. I nearly burst at the seams trying to wait, trust me. I was dying to get my hands on my new iPad on this specific date. chris.pirillo.com – http
