      The device is thin, only 0.5 inches thick with a 9.7-inch screen, and weighs 1.5 pounds.

      3Great for Reading Content

      3

      Analysts who heard about the Apple tablet before the launch suspected the iPad’s screen would lend itself to a fine digital reading experience. This picture may indicate they were right, as the New York Times is prominently displayed on the screen, which adjusts content when it’s rotated.

      4Facebook, Gaming

      4

      The iPad’s crisp display also makes social applications such as Facebook and gaming apps look like a dream to play with.

      5iPad Website

      5

      True to the form that it established with its iPod and iPhone launches, Apple introduced the iPad Website today, offering pictures and details. Consumers will be able to buy the iPad beginning at $499 in March.

      6Running Safari

      6

      Safari powers the iPad’s mobile browsing experience.

      7E-Mailing Is Fast, Productive

      7

      Jobs showed how easy, efficient and expansive e-mail is on the iPad.

      8Pictures on the iPad

      8

      Just as with e-mail and other apps, the multitouch features on the iPad let users just tap or pinch to open the stack of pics.

      9Watching Anything Is Great

      9

      TV, videos, YouTube … It’s all a blast on iPad, whose display does justice to HD.

      10Dont Forget Your Music

      10

      iPad fully syncs with iTunes via Apple’s 30-pin cable, so you’ll be able to port your music and take it with you on your new toy.

      11The App Store

      11

      Jobs said most of the 140,000 iPhone applications in Apple’s App Store will run on the iPad, and users will be able to download most of their iPhone apps to the iPad when they purchase it. Apple’s App Store comes on every iPad.

      12Accessories

      12

      Docking stations, a Camera Connection Kit and an iPad Case highlight the iPad accessories.

      13Would You Buy This?

      13

      It’s a gorgeous-looking display of computing, no question. The question is: How many units will Apple sell in 2010?
