Today Apple introduced the newest product, the Apple iPad.  The age of the Apple tablet has arrived.

9.7″ multi-touch display and 0.5″ thick. 10 hour battery life. Apple designed and produced A4 processor.  16, 32 or 64GB of flash memory.  Wifi. Bluetooth. Runs most existing iPhone and iPod Touch applications. 3G service provided via AT&T for an additional $130USD, with no contract and unlimited data at $29.99USD/month.

The Apple tablet is quite impressive, especially with the level of detail and polish that has went into the updated applications provided on the device.  The best way to sum up today’s event is to quote Scott Forstall, Senior VP of iPhone Software:

“There’s going to be a new gold rush for app developers.”

And from Bob Mansfield, Senior VP of Hardware:

“We build battery techology, we build chip technology, we build software.  And we bring all those things together in a way that no one else can do it.”
