The iPad is an Air-thin, 10.1-inch, multitouch iPhone
We’re still waiting for iPad details to come from the mouth of Jobs, but here are some first observations.
Like everyone said, it looks just like an iPhone that met a rolling pin.
It’s way thin. Like MacBook Air thin, from the looks of it. This is bread slicing and jugular slicing.
The Home Button is at the bottom, which implies, like the iPhone, a dominantly vertical based orientation, although an accelerometer flips it.
There’s a WiFi signal clearly visible at the corner, so we have 802.11n support here, but I see no icon for 3G… yet.
The iPad doesn’t have a frontal camera and Steve has yet to show any Magic Mouse like capacitive case tech, although obviously, this is a vibrant, 10-inch multitouch device.
