In what everybody already saw coming for weeks (months) now, Apple has just unveiled its latest product, a tablet called the iPad. Basically a bigger version of the iPhone, Steve Jobs presented the iPad during a press event in San Francisco. The most interesting news? It's powered by... An Apple processor, called the A4. The most shocking news? The price.

I doubt that I will ever buy one of these devices. In that form factor, I need a device with a keyboard. A soft touch keyboard isn't going to cut it. And the lack of a multitasking OS is a pretty glaring omission. No thanks.

They're selling an optional external keyboard for it - see http://www.apple.com/ipad/specs.

(I wonder if that'll work with the iPhone?)
