The Future: Apple iPad

Apple launched the much anticipated iPad (egg on face for going with iTab, iTablet and iSlate in the past) this afternoon.

From all reports, it delivers. Since I have not touched the iPad yet, I don't feel it would be responsible for me to write about it.

Instead, here is a photo gallery of the new device, along with specs and pricing.
