Apple iPad

Apple iPad is a large (10") tablet. It has got Wi-Fi and optional 3G (AT&T, but includes a mini-sim slot so you can use it outside the US too) models, and come with 16/32/64GB of internal memory. It is running the iPhone v3.1 OS on Apple's new 1Ghz A1 chip. You can buy the 16GB Wi-Fi version and the 64GB Wi-Fi version over at Amazon.com.

It is also an e-reader - supporting ePub, PDF and Kindle books (via an application). The e-reader app is called iBooks, and there's a bookstore too (iBookstore) that uses the ePub format. Apple also targets this for newspaper with rich content and video support. Apple claims 10 hour battery life with a month of standby.

The Wi-Fi, non-3G versions are now shipping ($499 for 16GB, $599 for 32GB and $699 for 64GB). The 3G ones will ship later on (for an extra $130).
