After introducing its first iPhone in 2007, Apple launched a new touchscreen tablet computer on Wednesday dubbed the 'iPad', seeking to carve out a niche between the laptop and the smartphone.
Apple is launching an online "iBookstore" for the iPad and touted its abilities as an electronic reader of books, newspapers and magazines. They believe that the iPad is going to make a terrific e-book reader, not just for popular books but for textbooks as well.
The most basic iPad model, with 16G of memory costs US$499 (S$701) while the higher end model which includes 3G wireless connectivity and 64G of memory costs US$829 (S$1165).
