Apple fans, the Apple tablet is real and official. Steve Jobs came on the stage at the beginning of the event. He has introduced the iPad, the Apple tablet that everyone has been waiting for. It has accelerometer and multi-touch support. That’s why it is like the enlarged iPod Touch. It runs App Store apps and games. That means developers are happy that they don’t need to make apps with special version for iPad.

It looks amazing when you can play those 3D games like Need for Speed on the 9.7″ IPS display. It is 0.5″ thin and weights 1.5 pounds. It has 16GB-64GB flash storage for us to choose from. The interesting thing is that iPad uses Apple’s 1GHz A4 chip. It can be used for 10 hours and over a month of standby.
