  • 9.7-inch IPS Display
  • 1GHz Apple A4 Chips
  • Capacitive multi-touch screen
  • Wi-Fi, 3G, Bluetooth
  • 16GB to 64GB Flash storage

Software-wise, it will support the iTunes and the Apps store plus Apple is also launching an e-book store called iBooks. Yes dear folks, the iPad is also an e-book reader.

Pricing:

  • $499 for the base 16GB Wi-Fi

    I think I’ll wait for the HP Slate. This looks like an old digital picture frame with a fat border. Oh yes, 800 bucks for 64GB – think not. This looks like a gaint iphone, we have seen all this before. Is it just me or has all this been done before by others.

    @Marty – If ever I’m getting one, I settle for the base model. I agree $800 is too much for the specs.

    I wish it was already in my hands! I'm based in Hong Kong (China). Even though most of the machine was made here, we will get it long after the U.S. and Europe! That's not fair!
