Apple’s Ipad Release

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010

I am sure you have heard all the buzz about the new Ipad that Apple has released. The iPad has a 9.7-inch touch screen, is a half-inch thick, weighs 1.5 pounds and comes with 16, 32 or 64 gigabytes of flash memory storage. It comes with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity built in.
