Posted on May 17th 2010

Apple announced last week that the highly anticipated iPad™ will be available in Australia on Friday 28th of May.

Australia will be sharing this release date with eight other countries including, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, Switzerland and the UK.
 

With the official countdown on until its release, I decided it was time to give you the low down on the infamous iPad. 

Apple’s latest gadget is said to be a “magical device which defines the future of mobile media and computing devices.” Weighing in at just 680 gms, this little device sure is creating a lot of commotion. Some of its features include, internet browsing, email functions, photo sharing, HD video, music, games and ebooks and much, much more. 
 

The iPad’s Multi-touch user interface has been considered revolutionary, and with up to 10 hours of battery life, we have to ask ourselves, what more could you possibly want?

More apps you say? Not a problem, along with the iPad, Apple is launching over 5,000 new app’s specially designed for the iPad. The App Store on the iPad is additionally, more user friendly letting you wirelessly browse, buy and download all the latest app’s.
