Apparently the picture on the previous post was pretty accurate in predicting Apple's "latest creation". The iPad, as expected, is a giant 9.7-inch iPhone that provides expanded computing capability, specially for corporate usage.

Specs are not impressive (processor has the same 1Ghz offered on Google's Nexus One phone), but it offers roughly what you'd get on similar-sized netbook. The price, though, was a surprise to me. USD $499 seems very compelling for such a sexy device, so people that wonder about the real need for such a gadget don't have much to lose.

Availability is expected for early March on the Wi-fi version and April for the 3G.
