"So, gonna give you a little overview. It's very thin -- you can change the homescreen to whatever you want. What this device does is extraordinary. You can browse the web with it. It's the best web experience you've ever had."

    • Steve Jobs has called the comically name iPad the "third category" between smartphones and laptops.

      You can use it to browse the web, play games and watch films.

      Some specs:
      9.7 inch- (25cm-) multi-touch display
      1 GHz Apple processor
      16-64 GB of flash memory
      0.5in- (1.25cm) thick
      Weighs 1.5lbs (0.7kgs)
      Wi-fi and 3G connectivity

      The firm has also done a deal with publishers including Penguin, Macmillian and Harper Collins to allow e-books to be downloaded directly to the device through a new iBook Store.
      "You can download right onto your iPad," said Mr Jobs.

      Battery life is about 10 hours.

      iTunes is built in and you can download apps, same as on an iPhone.

      The WiFi only models will go on sale in 60 days, the 3G models around 90 days because they require approval from carriers.

      The iPad pricing starts at just $499 (this works out at about £300).

      That's for a 16GB, non-3G model.

      32GB $599 for and 64GB for $699 - and if you want a 3G model, it will cost an extra $130 - $629, $729, $829.

      I'll update this comment as more news comes in.

    • After all the hype of "Apple is developing a tablet computer", their prayers have been answered... in a shape of an e-book.
