Apple officially unveiled the iPad yesterday in one of its traditional ‘show and tell” conferences. Tech reporters, Apple fanatics and industry analysts got to experience a brief hands on with the new iPad tablet—demonstrating its speedy custom-designed Apple 1GHz processor (the A4) and the amazing apps that reside under its 1,024-by-768, 9.7-inch LED touch screen.
