Is it a netbook? NO…
Is it a smartphone? NO…
It’s an iPad!

Astounding? NO…
Amazing? NO…
It’s simply… unbelievable!

“So much more intimate than a laptop and so much more capable than a smartphone,” Steve Jobs said at Apple’s biggest product launch since the iPhone three years ago.

Why iPad Will Become An iFad

What looks like a bigger iPhone, the iPad packs in contacts, a calendar, maps, music, email, photos, games, videos and ebooks. You have access to iTunes and high-definition YouTube, a virtual keyboard and unbelievable browsing experience. It’s a great way to watch TV or movies and store your favorite music albums.

There are popup windows for you to pick brushes, colors and other tools. Once you’re done with your work of art, you can send it to Twitter or Facebook or simply email it.

Also, iBooks lets you choose books from what looks like a bookshelf. You can download books onto the iPad. You would be able to read bestsellers as well as textbooks shortly on the iPad. iWork allows you to make presentations with touch input. All iPads have Wi-Fi.
