It is done: Apple revealed its new revolutionary bomb, the iPad.
Let us start by recalling some details for those who did not follow the direct feed.
It is a tablet with the following specifications:
- 24,2 cm x 18,9 cm
- 1,34 cm thick
- weight between 680 and 730g according to the model.
- Screen 9,7" with 1024x768
- WI-FI n
- 3G as an option
- available in 16,32 and 64 GB.
- The processor is an Apple development running at 1 GHz
- Price starting from $499 plus $130 for the 3G
The specifications and dimensions make a non standard product, outside of what exists. To make it short, the plain truth is that it is a large iPhone or rather a iPhone with a giant screen. It is compatible with all the applications intended for the iPhone and will function identically if the application is downloaded. Admittedly, Apple made a big effort with the ergonomics of specific softwares and on the interface, but this is not really a pocket computer.
Without wanting to disparage the great project of Steve Jobs, the future will tell us if this tablet will be a giant success. It will in any the case be like an essential companion to our Mac or our iPhone. It will be available in 119 days from now and the developers can already download the SDK to start to work with optimizing the software.
