Apple iPad - You Need to Know Everything


The screen's aspect ratio makes it seem a bit squat, but this is intended to be a bi-directional tabl—err, Pad. The bezel is a little fat, but otherwise, this thing is basically a clean slab of pure display. Final weigh-in is 1.5 pounds without 3G, and 1.6 with. Says Mark, who's actually. The tablet's multitouch screen measures in at 9.7 inches, meaning that it's got a significantly smaller footprint than the smallest MacBook, but a much larger screen than the iPhone.

It's a half-inch thick—just a hair thicker than the iPhone, for reference—and weighs 1.5 pounds. It's also loaded with 802.11 n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR, a 30-pin iPod connector, a speaker, a microphone, an accelerometer and a compass. Apple's making some bold claims about battery life. The iPad itself is unlocked, so you can conceivably use it with any Micro SIM card.
