The iPad is here

So, today was Apple's big reveal of the iPad. The device is pretty cool. It's only a half an inch thick and weighs in at one and a half pounds. The screen is 9.7", uses a proprietary 1GHz chip, 16, 32, or 64GB flash storage. Of course it has 802.11n and Bluetooth. It comes with the standard things; accelerometer, compass, speaker, mic, and dock connector. They claim that they have been able to squeeze 10 hours out of the battery via media usage. They'll have it in two models: WiFi only and add 3G through AT&T. They have two data plans: $14.99 for up to 250MB (ya, tha'll go far), and $29.99 for unlimited data. For the international market, the device is unlocked, so it can use any wireless carrier. Lastly, the pricing: it starts at $499 for the 16GB model.
My take on it? Meh. It's a cool device, but I have no use for it. Just like I have no use for a netbook. On top of that, it looks like they took a rolling pin to the iPod Touch. I already have an iPhone and I don't need a bigger one. Thanks, Apple, but I'll be skipping this one.

I am fan of Apple products. I think IPad is the besteller! But the prices are awful here in Paris!

Backlinks can as a matter of fact become a valuable asset as well as aid with off page SEO. Have you ever observed back links result in a harmful outcome to search engine rankings? And do you know if there is a method to discover when Adwords is better than SEO? I personally own dozens webpages and as a matter of fact help out with a backlink building company. Still, I at times find it beneficial to use Adwords over natural SEO.
