iPad Announced

The iPad announcement is over, and now the debating begins. Will this device be successful, will it fail. It’s missing that feature, or they should have done this or that. Analyst may debate the iPad’s relevance, but for now we just don’t really know because no one has spent quality time with the device outside of Cupertino.

I for one believe the device’s success rest squarely on the shoulders of the innovators, accessory manufacturers, and probably most importantly the software developers. If Apple’s iPhone had not progressed from a capable smart phone to an indispensable tool (thanks to the App Store), AT&T probably wouldn’t be having network issues. Here’s hoping and waiting for developers to WOW us!

Here’s a list of some of the interesting points:

  • New 1GHz Apple A4 processor chip
  • Uses iPhone 3.x OS
  • It’s 9.7″ with a 1024×768 resolution
  • Fingerprint-resistant oleophobic coating
  • Comes with 16GB, 32 or 64GB flash drive
  • Choice between Wi-Fi or Wi-Fi and 3G
  • Starts at $499 and goes up to $829 for the full config (64GB and Wi-Fi + 3G)
  • No built-in camera
