Steve Jobs has unveiled the eagerly awaited new tablet device – known as the iPad – and our first impressions is that it looks just like a large iPhone with its 9.7″ screen – but not as pretty.
The body is chunkier than we expected for an Apple product, with a large bezel surrounding the screen.
With a screen that large, web browsing looks to be a fabulous experience, and ol’Jobsy is proudly showing off its emailing and surfing abilities.
There’s no physical keyboard, so users will have to type on an enlarged iPhone-style virtual keyboard – we’re not sure we’d fancy typing out anything more than a short email on that.
As expected, the iPad comes with built in iPod, calendar, high def movie player, photo slideshows, Google maps and all the usual Apple stuff.
