"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. And with iPad, navigating the web has never been easier or more intuitive. Because you use the most natural pointing device there is: your finger. Scroll through a page just by flicking your finger up or down on the screen. Or pinch to zoom in or out on a photo. There’s also a thumbnail view that shows all your open pages in a grid, to let you quickly move from one page to the next."
Humm... This sort of reminds me of, say, a laptop?
like this 7" one on amazon.com? http://www.amazon.com/Asus-Screen-Celeron-Processor-Preloaded/dp/B000ZLSXJO
Oh, im sorry, its Apple. Its better. Silly me...
Moving on.
"Mail
See and touch your email in ways you never could before. In landscape, you get a split-screen view showing both an opened email and the messages in your inbox. To see the opened email by itself, turn iPad to portrait, and the email automatically rotates and fills the screen. No matter which orientation you use, you can scroll through your mail, compose a new email using the large, onscreen keyboard, or delete messages with nothing more than a tap and a flick. If someone emails you a photo, you can see it right in the message. You can also save the photos in an email directly to the built-in Photos app. And iPad works with all the most popular email providers, including MobileMe, Yahoo! Mail, Gmail, Hotmail, and AOL."
Hey guys, look! Touch screen, and you dont have to rotate it a certain way, and its EMAIL!
Lets just ignore the fact that's been a feature on most cell phones for quite a while. Yeah, you can view your inbox and new messages at the same time, but, of course, so can a laptop, like the one I posted a link to awhile ago. That one.
Alright, theres more about the Ipad, but bottom line is that it is not revolutionary, and every time you say to someone "I got/have/am using an Ipad" you'll feel like an idiot.
And it is also 500$. No, it starts at 500$, my bad.
