The apple I Pad was just introduced around 1pm today. It looks awesome. Its all touchscreen. I don't know the price or release date. it has a 10 inch screen only a half inch thick. 10 hour battery life, only 1.5 pounds. I think there are three versions 16, 32, and 64 gig.

Is this KIT????

You do realize the original post is 2 years old.

I bought one for my wife six months after they came out. She never used a computer before and is not good with anything electronic only because she never tried.
She uses her iPad everyday since she opened the box.

Easy Ray, I was just reading the other comments too, I almost can't believe that there is one single person on this planet that doesn't know that the iPad has been out for some time now!!! I have had my iPad for awhile now and also use it daily along with my iPhone and iMac computer at home... Apple rules!!!

I have been a fan for quite some time, we just got one for my grandfather (grandchildren all contributed), and its been great, he's loading his old pictures on it, face timing his new great grand daughter (my daughter) etc. My grandfather never learned to use a PC, I don't know if I would have ever even seen these photos if we didn't get him an Ipad. Here are a couple he sent me from being stationed in Northern Japan during the Korean war. He is a very giving and honest person, lots of fun to be around, of the 100 or so he sent the one handing out chocolate to the Japanese kids is my favorite.

A little irony, these photos are on Kodak paper, the day he sent them to me they declared chapter 11.

The 2nd post is a type of scammer/spammer advertising other sites. They probably searched for certain Keywords and then posted what they did....and reactivated this old thread.....

I thought it was Kit Carson.......cowboys don't get to the city much....
