Apple Tablet First Look, Price, Features, 3g Models

By:


ENOUGH OF speculation, gossip and guess work. The first look of Apple tablet is out. Fresh news is dropping in from San Francisco where the Apple Tablet has finally been unveiled. The features first out on select websites showcasing live reveal that Tablet has:

9.7 inch multitouch display gadget
weighs around 1.5 pounds (0.7 kilos)
0.5 inches thick
1GHz Apple A4 chip (built in house)
between 16GB and 64GB of flash memory

Steve Jobs revealed that, "We've been able to achieve 10 hours of battery life - I could fly from San Francisco to Tokyo and what video the whole way on one charge."

The device, as expected has great e-book content. The NYT app is a rough facsimile of the paper itself, navigable in ways more familiar from a website. Video can play inline (that means video ads, too - no word yet on whether these are being delivered in Flash or not).

The iPad pricing starts at just $499 for a 16GB, non-3G model, said reports from the Apple tablet launch. For 32GB you will have to shell out $599 and for 64GB pay $699. And if you want a 3G model, it will cost an extra $130 - $629, $729, $829 respectively.

The WiFi models will go on sale in 60 days, said Steve Jobs at the press conference while the 3G models will take around 90 days because they require approval from carriers.

The Apple tablet has an iPad, an application which has been developed over the last three weeks, said Steve Jobs. The iPad is being touted as the future of news delivery. This will be interesting to see, since a lot of print media types hope that the iPad can really help move the ebook concept on a stage and help them start making money.

One of the viewers on twitter said the tablet is, "little bit like holding a high definition TV screen inches from your face".

So, is it for the casual surfer or existing iMac / iPhone users? The answer is that it's more of an entertainment device than a full-powered laptop.

The tablet also has a version of iWork that lets you create documents, presentations and spreadsheets. The device has an exclusive deal with Amazon which gives you the chance to buy books and read them on your device.

iPad has WiFi, but "we're also going to have models of iPad with 3G". these will be available currently only in America a pre-pay - no contract deal for 250MB of data per month for $14.99, and an unlimited plan for $29.99, on AT&T.

All the iPad 3G models will use new GSM micro SIMs.
