Apple iPad
The Apple iPad is a rumoured new device coming soon from Steve Jobs /Apple Corp. At present it is expected he will announce the Apple iPad on January 26/27/28, 2010. The term/brand iPad is now yet final and may change before release.
This new device is a tablet computer
developed by Apple. A tablet computer is a personal computer that is pretty much visually a touch screen only.
It has been suggested that the size of this iPad tablet will be 7 inch and that there may be a 10 inch follow-up to be release in (USA) spring.
The concept of this tablet sounds mediocre: Try to think about the iPhone make it 7-inch and voila we got the new apple tablet.
The Apple iPad will be a fully touchscreen device.

Plus, Multipoint Touch Surface Controller: A more advance system for detecting multi points on a touch screen.
