Apple today introduced iPad, a revolutionary device for browsing the web, reading and sending email, enjoying photos, watching videos, playing games, reading e-books, and much more. Its high-resolution Multi-Touch display lets you interact with content — including 12 innovative new apps designed especially for iPad and almost all of the 140,000 apps available on the App Store. At just 0.5 inches thick and 1.5 pounds, iPad is thinner and lighter than any laptop or notebook.

The iPad, like a giant iPhone, is super thin. It’s 1/2-inch thick, weighs 1.5 pounds, and the full capacitive multi-touch display lets you take advantage of the 9.7-inch screen. The iPad comes with 16 – 64GB of flash storage, WiFi and Bluetooth, an accelerometer, and compass to help you use maps, and a speaker and mic (but no camera) for chatting. A 10 hour battery life (with over a month of standby) lets you use the iPad without a worry of whether or not you have a power source. And it’s eco-friendly. The iPad is arsenic-, BFR-, and Mercury-free, and the body and glass are made from recycled parts.

More good news! The new iPad will be sold unlocked, and you won’t need a contract; all data plans will be prepaid. There are WiFi and WiFi+3G coverage options, starting at $499 for 16GB with WiFi and data plans through AT&T starting at $14.99 a month.

A few more technical details: the iPad has a LED display and IPS display technology, making it easier for more than one user to view the iPad at a time.
