A look at Apple's iPad bundled applications, the video.

The iPad is super slim at only an inch thick, I some may have a little difficulty handling it. At 1.5 pounds, it is too heavy to hold in one hand, which is troublesome if you plan on using it as an e-book reader. Other e-book readers, like Amazon's Kindle 2 or the COOL-ER e-reader, are much lighter in hand and therefore make for a much more comfortable user experience.

The iPad's has a 9.7-inch 1024-by-768-pixel LED-backlit display. As a photo viewer, the iPad shines. Photos looked superb on the iPad's display and it uses all of the familiar multitouch gestures (flick, pinch to zoom) found on the iPhone's photo app.

Touch Keyboard: Like the rest of the OS, the touch keyboard is larger version of the iPhone's. But unlike on the iPhone, there's no letter magnification when you press a key. Some people maybe disappointed.

Price: "For $499, you get 16 GB of storage, with WiFi built-in. For $599, you get 32 GB of storage. For $699, you get 64 GB of storage." Note: The 3G models cost an extra $130 each.

NOTE: For the $499. to $699. starting price you can buy a nice laptop computer.
