The new Apple iPad is here. It seems to be made to bridge the gap between the cell phone of today and the laptop computer. I wasn't sure about the size of this product, but these photographs give you a pretty good idea of how big it is.

What is it? Myjoyonline.com describes it as:"Essentially a mix between a giant iPhone and a shrunken MacBook, the iPad - announced by Steve Jobs himself at the Apple event in San Francisco this evening - is a 9.7-inch, 0.5-inch thin tablet rocking a full HD (incredibly hi-res) touchscreen interface with multi-touch, a Wi-Fi and 3G connected, a bespoke OS comparable to the iPhone and a penchant for gaming and apps. Inside, there's a super slick 1Ghz Apple A4 processor, but there doesn't appear to be support for multi-tasking with different apps."

I'm not sure what all that geekeese means!! Don't ask me what a "bespoke OS comparable" means. The price is a mere $499.00 for the 3G-16GB model. The 3G-64GB model will go for around $829.00 Plus there is a $15 - $30 per month data plan cost.
