Apple's Latest Creation: iPad

January 27, 2010 is the day Apple have enchanted the technology world. The rumoured touch screen device, which fills the gap between the iPhone and the Macbook has been given the name of, iPad. This 9.7" IPS LCD touchscreen device has the base memory of 16GB going up to an amazing 64GB, now for a mobile device, you may be thinking this is small, but it's not for a device that is only half an inch thick.

The iPad is similar to a digital photo frame, but this a laptop, with only one side, a touchscreen keyboard which is almost life like and the usual specs from Apple as well as topping it off with apps available from the App Store. 

You may be now asking, "Isn't this a big iPod Touch?" Well, does a iPod Touch come with 3G? No! Does it offer you a mobile mac experience, without cluttering up your desk or space? Yes! Is it wireless? Yes! With Bluetooth 2.1 and 802.11n wifi, don't think you'll be lost in communication. 

The iPad is available in 60days (90 days for the 3G model) and starts at $499 (£300 for 16GB) $599 (£370 for 32GB) and $699 (£432 for 64GB). 3G Pricing; starting at $629 (£388 for 16GB) $729 (£450 for 32GB) and $829 (£512 for 64GB)

Apple Rumour: Touchscreen iMac

Rumours have been floating around Twitter that Apple could be annoucing a brand new line of iMac's, along with the 'iSlate', with touchscreen functionality.

The new 22" iMac is to bring the experience from the normal iMac to a brand new level. I focuses the touch functions available on the iPhone, Magic Mouse and the Macbook trackpad all to the screen. By adding this functionality, Apple will make one of their already big products even bigger, more expensive and with more power than a average household would want.

Although this sounds like a bad idea, it would be useful to schools, particularly schools which have disabled children or adults who don't know how to use a desktop computer. The functionality would also allow photographers to skim through the photos took on the photoshoot, view it full screen and send them straight off to their client.

I must say although the idea looks a bit misty right now, if it isn't announced sometime this year, it'll certainly be released sometime next year.
