Although this is a website focused on demolition, we all use mobile gadgets every day and the iPhone must sit in a few of your pockets. So we thought it was appropriate to give you a heads-up on the latest device from the boffins at Apple.
Apple announced their next killer gadget yesterday and called it the iPad. It is not a replacement for the iPhone and it won't do phone calls. What it is meant to offer is a one stop device for all your media (music, video, books), and a replacement for the newspaper.
It has a 9.7" touchscreen display, measures on 0.5" thick, and has a battery that lasts 10 hours (30 days standby time). UK pricing has yet to be announced, but prices start at $500 in the US going up to $829 for the top model. There will also be an optional contract for unlimited data across the mobile network AT&T for $30 a month. In the UK that will likely mean £30 a month and £600+ for the device.
Why would you want one of these devices? Well, if you do a lot of reading on the go, need to respond to e-mail, enjoy your daily newspaper, and also want to surf the web, then iPad will do it all, and with a footprint much smaller and lighter than a laptop.
We won't know specifics about a UK launch until June I believe, so start saving now if you want one. For now just enjoy the pictures and videos. You can also learn more about the device on the Apple iPad website.
