Apple Unveils the iPad

Apple today unveiled its much-anticipated iPad, a tablet computer with a touch screen display to show movies, play video games and even view e-books, that could fuel its next leg of growth beyond the iPhone.

"We want to kick off 2010 by introducing a truly magical and evolutionary product today," said Chief Executive Steve Jobs at an event in San Francisco.

After months of speculation, Apple said the iPad features a 9.7-inch touch screen display -- similar to the iPhone -- a 1GHz A4 chip, 16GB of memory, 32GB or 64GB of storage, 802.11n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, an accelerometer, compass, speaker and microphone and has a battery life of 10 hours.



The iPad comes with iTunes software, allowing users to purchase songs and movies straight to the device and download apps, similar to the iPhone. Consumers with both products will be able to sync their apps across both devices.
