With the special presentation of the new Apple iPad today, I felt compelled to post a hands-on video, that highlights some of the coolest features of the new device. While watching Steve Job’s presentation was pretty cool, I found the Engadget hands-on video to be a little more helpful and interesting. The coolest aspect I’ve seen thus far has been the eBook implementation, which you have to see in the video below.
As referenced on Engadget, “It starts at $499 for 16GB, 32GB for $599, and $699 64GB. Adding 3G costs a $130 per model, so the most expensive model (64GB / 3G) is $829. The WiFi-only model will ship in 60 days, and the 3G models will come in 90.”
So what do you think of the new device? Is it a disapointment? Do you see yourself purchasing one? Though I’d love to have one, I think I’ll hold off until I have $500 or so to spare.

It's a strong possibility that we might buy it. My husband and I have been looking at the ipod touch and possibly buying a new laptop (apple, of course — we are apple geeks). I think this device might replace the need for getting a new laptop and ipod touch. I can see using it in the car, so the kids can watch movies and play games. Most likely we will wait a few months after it's released to buy but I can see us owning one in the next year or so. It has most of the features we need and want.
Hi Marcy! I'm considering buying it in the near future. If I do so, I'll first sell my iPod Touch and would definitely want to buy the 3G version. I don't think it's a replacement for my laptop, since the biggest is just 64GBs. Of course, that all depends on what you use laptops to do. The inability to multitask is a big letdown for me though. Thanks so much for your comments.
