January 27, 2010

Apple unveiled its long-awaited and much-rumored tablet: iPad. My friend Yung thought the name was not the best choice but I am fairly certain that Apple’s iPad will become a revolutionary product and change the way we interact with a computer.
Not Just In Between: With the addition of the keyboard the iPad has genes designed [...]

Welcome iPad!

January 27, 2010

Our most advanced technology in a magical & revolutionary device at an unbelievable price.

It looks like a larger version of the iPhone. A lot of the multitouch gestures that Steve Jobs is demonstrating are akin to those that we are used to on the iPhone and iPod touch.
