After nearly a decade of rumors and speculation, Apple's finally unveiled the iPad. It's a half-inch thick and weighs just 1.5 pounds, with a 9.7-inch capacitive touchscreen IPS LCD display, and it's running a custom 1GHz Apple "A4" chip developed by P.A. Semi, with a 10-hour battery life and a month of standby. It'll come in 16, 32, and 64GB sizes, and it's got the expected connectivity: very little. There's a 30-pin Dock connector, a speaker, a microphone, Bluetooth, and 802.11n WiFi. As expected, it can run iPhone apps -- either pixel-for-pixel in a window, or pixel-doubled fullscreen -- but developers can also target the new screen size using the updated iPhone OS SDK, which is available today.
Apple says there's room for a third device between the smartphone and the laptop, and that it has to be better at tasks like browsing, email, photos, e-books, and videos than both -- netbooks, says Steve, "aren't better at anything." It looks just like the leak we saw, with a large touchscreen keyboard that Steve says is "a dream to type on," and an interface that's very reminiscent of the iPhone, although it's significantly expanded and altered. The built-in apps are much more Mac-like than iPhone-like, with versions of iPhoto and iTunes that look like touch-oriented versions of their desktop counterparts. There's also some built-in location services that lets the Map app auto-locate. Obviously the iTunes store is built-in for previewing and buying media.

Apple’s new Multi-Touch device is designed to make navigating the web easier and intuitive, one page at a time.
200Linx was designed to be the ultimate, most convenient homepage for the iPad and other tablet PC.
200Linx is the homepage that brings you everything that's good on the Internet in one click, on one place.
They searched thousands of websites and surveyed hundreds of internet users to make the iPad user’s life easier.
They had one single question in mind: what are the most useful websites for most people? Or in other words: where do people spend their time online?
They gathered the findings in a single place, under one page, totally free: 200Linx.com.
Each page has 25 categories of websites: News, Sport, Weather, Health, E-mail services etc.
Each category consists of the 8 most useful websites. Total: 200 great links. As simple as that.
The best way to use 200Linx is to set it as your iPad’s Safari’s homepage, to add 200Linx to your Top Sites or to Bookmark it.
This way, whenever you start your Safari web browser you'll see 200Linx logos and will be able to find your favorite website immediately and navigate easily to them.
The logos are large, neat and readable.
200Linx is also a great way to discover new useful websites.
All you need to do is press a logo - and you're there.
200Linx looks great on the iPad in portrait and landscape positions and was fitted perfectly to both positions.
