Soeben hat Apple das iPad vorgestellt. Zwar ist das iPad keine OpenSource-Plattform, trotzdem sollte man das iPad hier erwähnen.

It's a half-inch thick and weighs just 1.5 pounds, with a 9.7-inch capacitive touchscreen IPS LCD display, and it's running a custom 1GHz Apple "A4" chip developed by the P.A. Semi team, with a 10-hour battery life and a month of standby. It'll come in 16, 32, and 64GB sizes. There's a 30-pin Dock connector, a speaker, a microphone, Bluetooth, and 802.11n WiFi, as well as an accelerometer and a compass.
The device is managed by iTunes, just like the iPhone -- you sync everything over to your Mac. As expected, it can run iPhone apps -- either pixel-for-pixel in a window, or pixel-doubled fullscreen -- but developers can also target the new screen size using the updated iPhone OS SDK, which is available today.
It starts at $499 for 16GB, 32GB for $599, and $699 64GB. Adding 3G costs a $130 per model, so the most expensive model (64GB / 3G) is $829. The WiFi-only model will ship in 60 days, and the 3G models will come in 90.

Was meint ihr? Eine Alternative zu den anderen Tables oder "bloß" ein weiteres Gerät im Tablet-Sortiment? Ich persönlich finde das iPad interessant. Über fehlende Unterstützung darf man sich nicht beschweren: Alle Apps für das iPhone funktionieren auch am iPad. Und neue Apps werden sicherlich optimiert, damit diese gezielt für das iPad eingesetzt werden.
