Just when you think Apple is at the very top of their game, they come up with a great new idea to wow you even more!

Apple's iPad is a tablet-like computer, which Jobs claims to be, "... so much more intimate than a laptop and so much more capable than a smartphone." At 1.5 lbs, it a half-inch thick with a 9.7-inch touch screen. You're probably wondering, is the iPad worth all the hype? Well,

- They cost $499, $599 or $699, depending on the size.
- Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity are built in.
- The battery lasts 10 hours. It can sit for a month on standby without needing to be charged.
- It comes with a new electronic bookstore. ( Amazon's Kindle has competition! )
- Most of the Apps that are available on the iPhone and iPod Touch are also available on the iPad
- It is built in the same format as the iPhone and iPod Touch- it's so easy to use!
