As promised, Apple has announced it at 10.00 am PT/ 1.00pm ET on Wed or 2.00 am local time yesterday. I was thinking to stay up to watch Steve’s live presentation but apparently my cosy bed attracted me more than Steve….so I only read it yesterday morning.
At first glance, I was not surprised as it just looks like what the punters were guessing before night. But it is definitely Cool!!! I like it….no, I love it…it suits my styles and taste….elegant and sleek! Ok, i wont talkkok more, let’s have a look at this gadget:
Either Potrait or Landscape view
W7.47'xD0.5'xH9.56' @ only 0.73kg max
Another angle viewing
Can be used with standalone keyboard too
The key features:
1. Safari
The large Multi-Touch screen on iPad lets you see web pages as they were meant to be seen — one page at a time. With vibrant color and sharp text. So whether you’re looking at a page in portrait or landscape, you can see everything at a size that’s actually readable. Because you use the most natural pointing device there is: your finger. Or pinch to zoom in or out on a photo.
Full page for your reading pleasure...
2. Photos
With its crisp, vibrant display and unique software features, iPad is an extraordinary way to enjoy and share your photos. You can flip through your pictures, zoom in or out, or watch a slideshow. You can even use your iPad as a beautiful digital photo frame while it’s is docked or charging. And there are lots of ways to import photos: You can sync them from your computer, download them from an email, or import them directly from your camera using the optional Camera Connection Kit.

And the brain behind this machine:
Apple is using its own P.A. Semi technology for a custom 1GHz “Apple A4″ chip in the iPad. Apple claims to get 10 hours of battery life out of this sucker, along with a month of standby.
Despite the goodies mentioned above, Apple is also infamous for having dumb features in every product of theirs,no exception for this “Ipad”.
No webcam, no USB port thus external HDD is useless, multitasking is also not possible,meaning I can’t listen to Black Eyes Peas while reading talkkok at the same time. See this summary of the Negative points:
comparison to diaper..seems like at least diaper has one advantage over Ipad.
Note: This image was originated from Imgur.com so the misspelling of ‘absorbent’ is not my fault.
Ok, what about the pricing?
Verdict: I am definitely looking forward to its arrival but will try out first before i buy one. The other thing is, if given the opportunity, i will buy it from Hong Kong or USA,definitely cheaper than in malaysia,famous for charging taxes on imported items.
My macbook bought in HK which is RM800 cheaper than in Malaysia, unbelievable rite??? but it was true…

I am to a great extent impressed with the article I have just read. I wish the author of talkkok.com can continue to provide so much useful information and unforgettable experience to talkkok.com readers. There is not much to say except the following universal truth: there is a direct correlation between how hearty a person’s appetite is, and how pleasant and interesting their character. I will be back.
