In that time, thousands of people have probably spent time surfing the web, watching videos, installing apps, and doing all those things the Apple iPad was designed for.

Apple iPad’s $499 price tag has other tablet makers rethinking pricing
With a base price of $499, the recently announced iPad isn’t exactly cheap. Most netbooks, smartphones, and other mobile computing devices available today can be picked up for significantly less. But for an Apple product, $499 ain’t bad. COO TIM Cook had previously indicated that he didn’t think the company could produce anything worthwhile in […]
Apple introduces the iPad tablet, prices starting at $499
Apple CEO Steve Jobs has unveiled the company’s new tablet device, called the iPad. He’s pitching it as a device that’s more capable than an iPhone, but more portable than a laptop.

Do you want a tablet with a cellphone OS?
Apple is almost certainly going to launch a tablet today. It won’t be the first tablet PC to hit the streets.

The Apple Tablet will be in good company
Apple CEO Steve Jobs is likely preparing to officially pull the veil off of the worst-and-best kept secret in the tech industry tomorrow with the introduction of some sort of Apple Tablet.

Apple Tablet could have an on-screen, multitouch keyboard
Microsoft, Apple, TechCrunch, Archos, and a fair number of other companies are throwing some weight behind the tablet concept. And I’ve been pretty skeptical for one major reason: text input.

Talking about the rumored Apple tablet on TechVi – Video
Tired of listening to people speculate about the rumored Apple tablet? Then you might want to skip the rest of this post. But hot on the heels of this morning’s rumor that Apple will be bringing a tablet to market as soon as September, TechVi’s Randall Bennett asked me to speculate wildly on the topic […]
More Apple tablet rumors: It’ll play music, revive the concept of the “album”
A funny thing started happening when people started downloading music from the internet (whether they paid for tracks or not). We started prioritizing songs over albums. It used to be that you’d hear a song you liked on the radio and you’d go out to buy the CD, tape, record, or 8-track recording that contained […]
Rumor: Apple tablet coming in October for $800
There’ve been rumors floating around for the past year or so that Apple’s answer to the netbook isn’t a tiny clamshell PC at all, but rather a touchscreen tablet that may run a full blow version of OS X, or maybe a souped up version of the iPhone operating system. China Times now says that […]
