An Apple media event is currently underway as we speak, where they are releasing their much-anticipated new TABLET computer. The tablet — which has been rumored for years — was finally revealed today as their “newest creation”, and no, I’m not kidding, it’s actually called the iPad. Like iPod, with one letter changed.
But apparently, the computer will be much more than just a huge iPod. I’m not sure how (my guess is full multi-media experience — the ability to edit, capture, read, surf the net, watch movies, access iTunes, DL on the fly, go fucking nuts), but it fits in your lap and it’s may or may not kill Amazon’s Kindle.
Here’s an early peak at it.
J slash. You know that’s not it because there’s no brushed aluminum. The real tablet is a sleek black, with a 9.7 inch full-touch display. Oh and it’s only a half an inch thick. The future is now, my friends….
Pretty damn slick. I’m not sure how life changing this device will be — people are certainly freaking out about it — but one thing is for cereal, everyone’s gonna want one. And they probably will be worth every penny. Gimme, gimme, gimme…
