iLike. iWant. iPad.

Ask any Apple lovers, what did they do at 6 pm (or that'll be 10 am at San Francisco)? Of course glued to the computer screen to see what Steve Jobs and co. gonna reveal the latest gadget that'll make any Apple geek going gaga.

So, holla. Introducing iPad - the new beauty from Apple. A gadget that is anticipated for months, blogged by many, the name rumored by lots like iSlate, iTablet and yadda, yadda, yadda. Alas when Steve Jobs hold it in his hands in front of the waiting media - me went gawping in awe too. Big? Not so. But beauty? I can say, yes.

Oh, the specs:

• 9.7-inch touchscreen, can be viewed in portrait/landscape mode.
• Weight: 1.5-1.6 pounds (that'll be ~0.7 kg. Half the weight of my Samsung N310!)
• Half an inch thick!
• Storage: 16 - 64 Gb.
• Connectivity: Bluetooth + EDR, Wifi + 3G (depending on models)
• The rest, the pix says it all.

Price? Oooh, this is tempting. Starting at just $499 up to $829. If they're not cruel and stick to the conversion, that'll be about £300 - £500! Aaaaaah! And owning one meaning, no more paying for the stupid media player in the cheap flights. And oh, Apple got new iBookstore too. So, to Kindle and Sony eReader, sorry folks ... I think you'll gonna be history soon. Nggg...

So. iPad. iLike. iWant. iWant. iWant!
