Apple iPad tablet, it’s here for real and this is what it’s got

One image leak after another, one speculation after another, this is how we’ve lived out the last few months, building up for this grand day, when Steve Jobs finally stood up and officially revealed the Apple’s tablet device called the iPad, in San Francisco yesterday. Now, that the eagerly awaited (I know that’s not just enough to explain our anxiousness) tablet is amid us for real, we can go down its specs list and see what this big (and I mean big) iPhone like device has in store.

A great web surfing device, that Jobs considers would revolutionize the browsing and gaming experience, is perfect to fill the gaping void between the smartphones and the netbooks. Featuring an eye-luring, fingerprint-resistant 9.7-inch LED IPS multi-touch (1024 x768) display, the 0.5 inches thick and just 1.5 pounds tablet, includes a 1GHz Apple-built A4 processor and a built-in accelerometer, so you can use the iPad in just any direction, and it responds very swiftly.

Besides being used as a web browsing and gaming device, the iPad can be used to watch films, listen to music and to download e-books directly through a new iBook store being readied for the same. Carrying iPhone, iPod Touch style hardware featuring orientation sensor for switching between portrait and landscape modes, the tablet with a rechargeable Lithium-polymer battery touts a ten-hour battery life and a month’s standby charge.

For the knowledge of every prospective buyer, the iPad will be available in 16GB to 64GB of flash storage with and without 3G for $499 to $829. The iPad includes iTunes software to allow users to purchase music and movies directly to the device. The tablet has Safari web browser and gives access to the Apple App store allowing the user to download apps (including third party) just like the iPhone.

To be made available by June this year through AT&T in the US, there may be takers for the Apple iPad, but I don’t foresee those long queues we saw outside stores for the iPhone, remember?
