Apple’s newly launched tablet computer, I-Pad, defines a whole new generation of gadgets.

With the launch of the I-pad, Apple has proved that they are the leaders in the world when it
comes to gadgets. Although, it is yet to launch in India, potential buyers and tech-gurus are very
excited and already giving their views on the fate of I-pad (all of us know, it will be a hit in
India, just like the i-phone).

The iPad is a flat, rectangular computer tablet, based on Apple’s I-Phone OS. It has a large 9.7-
inch touchscreen on its face. Apple has launched three variants and it can be purchased with or
without 3G connectivity. However, all variants/models offer WiFi.
