(I know, I said I don’t like Apple products, but I felt it was my duty to blog about this.)
So Apple has finally come clean with their tablet. It’s the iPad. First up, it’s time for specs:
- 9.7″ screen, multitouch capacitive
- 820.11n wireless internet (optional AT&T wireless)
- Accelerometer and compass
- 0.5″ thick
- 1.5 pounds
- Bluetooth 2.1
- Speaker and mic
- 30 pin dock connector (like iPods)
- 10 hour battery life
- 1 Ghz processor
- iPhone OS
- Optional dock, physical keyboard, and case will be available
So now, pricing: we’re looking at $499 for the 16GB model, $599 for 32GB, and $699 for 64GB. If you want AT&T service too, add $130 more to whatever model you pick, plus a contract-free data plan of $14.99 for 250MB, or $29.99 for unlimited. It’s compatible with all App Store apps, and they’ll also be coming out with an iBook store to buy ebooks for the iPad. If you want one of these, they’ll be released late March, or wait until April if you want it to have an AT&T SIM card slot on it.
