Steve Jobs has done it again. First the iPhone and now the iPad. According to a number of estimates, over 500, 000 iPads have been pre-ordered. So, what's all the hype about? Is iPad all that spectacular or is Steve Jobs just good at building up excitement and anticipation? Well, I will let you be the judge. Let's dive in and see what all Apple's new brainchild, the iPad, has to offer.

First, this a powerful hand-held device. It does not matter if you're a gamer, a business professional or an avid web-surfer, the iPad can handle it. It has a very sleek and stylish design that will catch anyone's eye. It only weighs 1.5 pounds. Not only that, it's extremely user-friendly. It makes surfing the web simple.

Well, just tap and go. And with its revolutionary, 9.7-inch, high-resolution, Multi-Touch screen, it is possible to view the whole web page without any problems. It is just like your PC, but smaller plus much more capable. The iPad gives you a good web-surfing experience. But it gets better that you can do with the iPad. You may also view photos, watch movies, download music, read books plus much more, all with the tap of your finger. A lot you need to have is right in your hands, literally.

And the iPad can run over 140,000 apps that are available in the apps store and it can also run the apps that you have already downloaded onto your iPhone.
