To iPad or Not, That is the Question! Apple Reveals it Finally!

It’s official. Apple announced their tablet device today and it’s called the

iPad

The iPad will have

  • iBook – ereader
  • iWork for iPad – downloadable apps priced at $9.99 each (pages, keynote, Numbers)

    • Let’s talk about prices of the service. $29 per month for unlimited 3G and $14.99 for up to 250 mb per month. AT&T is offering wifi hotspots for free.

    Starts at $499 for the 16 GB wifi up to $820 for the 64 GB wi+3G.

  • wifi is 16 GB – $499, 32 GB – $599, 64 GB – $699
  • wifi + 3G is 16 GB – $629, 32 GB – $729, 64 GB – $829

    • I like how real many of the things look. For example, the iBook software looks like a bookshelf with books on it. When you read a book, it looks like a real book and you can see the pages behind even. Apple always takes the time to add little things that make the whole user experience exceptional and very real.

    Will you get an iPad? What are your thoughts?

    iPhone vs BB vs Droid Quick Lowdown

    I have the iPhone and I’m a Mac Geek addict so I’m biased, but I agree.

    iPhone vs. BlackBerry vs. Droid vs. Pre: Smackdown!

    Despite the Droid, the iPhone and BlackBerry remain on top; use the ratings calculator to determine the best smartphone for you.

    Our buying advice is simple:

    If you want a mobile device that takes full advantage of Web connectivity, applications, and personal media that you can also use for business connectivity such as e-mail and calendaring, get the iPhone, even with the inferiority of AT&T’s 3G network.

    If you’re subject to high security requirements, such as for regulatory compliance, need to manage lots of devices, or just can’t handle using a touch-based screen keyboard, you want the BlackBerry Bold, which is available from several U.S. carriers.

    If you can’t stand the thought of using the AT&T 3G network and don’t need to access corporate e-mail (outside of POP and IMAP mail servers), you want the HTC Droid Eris, which, like the Motorola Droid, is available only from Verizon Wireless.
