Apple announces the iPad

It's finally here. At their event in San Francisco, Apple has officially announced their tablet computer, which they're calling the iPad. Fully customizable, and better than a smartphone or a laptop at browsing, reading e-books, and a "great maps application with support from Google[...]." We're watching for more specs and software information right now, but the general idea is that the device is better than a netbook at just about everything!

Yet another Apple-driven revolution: go!

Specs Update:

• 9.7" IPS screen
• 1/2" thick (or thin)
• 10 hours of battery life
• "Shut the iPad down, come back in a month and it still has a charge"
• 16-64 Gigabytes of flash storage
• Accelerometer and compass
• Speaker, mic
• Dock connector
• It can run all iPhone apps, unmodified, out of the box
