Phew. It’s all over. And a new era has begun.
Ladies and gentlemen: Say hello to iPad. It will cost you $499. Even the most expensive model is $829. The WiFi version ships in late March, the 3G in April
Here’s an overview of everything we know so far.
The …. is a “magical and revolutionary new product,” according to Steve Jobs. He would say that. But he’s right.
Apple is a mobile device company now, the largest in the world, says Steve. “That’s what we do.”
The PowerBook was the first modern laptop computer, back in 1991. In 2007, Apple reinvented the phone.
Netbooks, though, aren’t better at anything. Remember when Apple said it couldn’t compete at that price? It was because they couldn’t create something that they’d be proud of.
So instead, they’ve made the iPad.
And yes, it looks – and behaves – rather like a huge iPhone. But there’s much more to it than that.
You want a keyboard? You got one. You got two, in fact. Either a built-in software keyboard, or a plug-in hardware accessory.
