Yes, it’s the Apple iPad. A tablet, which looks like a big iPod Touch. Are you surprised? It’s a “very thin” device at 0.5-inches, as according to Steve Jobs, runs iPhone OS, and you can now add desktop backgrounds to your homescreen. Multimedia is one of the main features of the iPad; watching movies, the full iTunes Store, access to YouTube, in HD, an awesome Email experience, improved Calendar, iPhoto, Maps, an e-reading app called iBooks, iWork for the iPad which has a new UI, and a giant on-screen QWERTY keyboard.
