So Apple unveiled its tablet computer today. Called the iPad it turns out that this supposed to be revolutionary tablet computer is really a giant iPod. Ok that is a little critical but not to far from the truth. Yes the iPad will function as an e-reader, and the iPods and iPhones won’t do that, also the screen size is giant when compared to it’s smaller “cousins”. But from what I have seen the functionality will be very similar to the Ipod/iPhone. This an not a tablet computer. You could say that it is an ultra portable. Now with all that being said I do think there is a market for this product, do to the fact that it does have a quite large screen, and many usable apps including an e-reader and movie playing capabilities. Also depending on the particular model the iPad will support 3G connectivity for better wireless experiences. Lets put it this way if i was given one I wouldn’t reject it.

After further reading I have discovered the the iPod and the iPhone to do e-reader functionality. I appoligize for this, so I guess the only real difference between the iPod/iPhone and iPad are screen size. Interesting.
