Today Apple has unveiled it’s newest product, dubbed the iPad.  Buckle up ladies and gentlemen of Snewty, your in for a treat.  So here is what Steve Jobs had to say before revealing his product to the world. ”    iPhone, MacBooks — “Everyone uses a laptop and/or a smartphone. The question has arisen lately: is there room for a third category device in the middle? In order to create a new category of devices, those devices will have to be far better at doing some key tasks — important things — better than the laptop and smartphone. What kind of tasks? Things like browsing the web. That’s a tall order — better than a laptop at browsing the web? Enjoying and sharing photos, videos, enjoying music, playing games, reading e-books….well here’s the solution”. 

Click after the jump for specifics regarding the product and more photos as well as information regarding  iWork and iBooks“It’s 0.5-inches thin, weighs just 1.5 pounds. Thinner and lighter than any netbook. 9.7-inch IPS display. iPad is powered by our own custom silicon. Our own chip. It’s called the A4, and it screams.” 1GHz. 16, 32, or 64GB of flash storage. “It’s got the latest in wireless: 802.11n, WiFi, and Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR.” All the usual suspects: accelerometer, compass, speaker, mic, dock connector. And it’s got battery, 10 hours of battery life to be specific.”

The iPad is also a developers dream as it is ready for apps to be developed. At the conference they spoke briefly about a few 3rd party apps that were already developed. The New York Times developed an app that is to revolutionize the way newspapers are read virtually in that it has captured the essence of how one would read if they were utilizing print. Then theres the app Brushes, an art work app, that allows arts and students to take their work with them.

Next up is the iBook with pretty much shits on the kindle from the looks of it. It looks like a bookshelf and theres a button to a store where you can purchase and download books right there.

Next up we have iWork

A completely new version of Keynote, Pages, and Numbers.

and they are only charging 10 bucks for the each. Compatible with Mac versions, and “you can easily connect to a projector with a small cable.

Every iPad has the latest and greatest WiFi. But we’re going to have models with 3G built in as well.“We’ve got a real breakthrough here. Two awesome plans. The first is up to 250MB per month — a fair bit of data, most people will get by on that — for just $14.99.”

“If you feel you need more, we have an unlimited plan for just $29.99. Real breakthrough prices. We’ve got a breakthrough deal with AT&T who is providing the service. AT&T’s throwing in free WiFi hotspot use, too.” Great, because their network certainly won’t be working well enough to depend on this. “There’s no contract — it’s pre-paid. You can cancel at any time
