It has been reported in a number of blogs that the iPad will not be released for another 3 months. Why? Basically, Apple has not got all the legal approvals yets for their new device.

“The specs on the iPad page mention the lack of FCC approval in tiny print that is easy to miss. And nobody seriously expects the iPad won’t be approved — Apple’s been through this before, with the launch of the first iPhone announced six months before it was available. And the “why?” is almost certainly to have kept as few people in the loop, and only those you could in some way control.” Read More . . .

Apple has just release their new iPad and ‘it’s that simple’. I have been a iPod Touch user for more than a year now, and for me the iPad looks just like an over-sized iPod Touch. The most attractive thing about the release of this product is the price. Apple announced that the starting price is just $499. Now that is great value for those who don’t already own an iPod Touch or iPhone. The functions all look the sames as what Apple users are used to, but the applications look a bit more polished.

Whereas the iPod could fit into you pocket nicely, the iPad would require you to carry it around in a case or bag. I see using this device on the move would not be as convenient as the iPhone or iPod Touch. But then again it is much better than carrying a laptop around. The iPad is a great boost for those who are on Facebook or other Social Networking Site most of the time.

There are different models of iPads. Check Apples specifications page for the details. The iPad has a microphone unlike the early iPod Touch models and also has Bluetooth and Wifi capability.

For me the whole idea of this product is for entertainment and to sell more digital downloads like music, video, ebooks and games. This is business after all. We have to wait and see how much impact this product will make with the consumers. Anyway let us know you take on the pad. If you have some time watch the video below.
