By now you’ve probably read more on Apple’s iPad then you ever dreamed possible. In the last few days we’ve covered a lot of angles on the tablet and compiled a lot of data.

Still, we felt that we hadn’t given you clear hands-on impressions and collected the myriad details about the device in one, easy-to-reach place.

So we’ve decided to bundle all of that info into a single feature, joining our first-hand encounters with the iPad together with all of the data and details you should be aware of — including specs, plans, release schedules, pics, and video. So read on for everything we know (so far) about Cupertino’s first tablet!

It looks like a “big iPhone,” and apparently it acts like one too: the iPad can run traditional iPhone apps completely unmodified, and can even zoom them up to full screen.

Additionally, a new iPhone SDK is out today to allow developers to tweak their apps for the specifics of the iPad. Of course, Apple has rebuilt its apps from the ground up for the iPad, and developers can do the same with the SDK.


Remember that history of Apple tablet rumors we concocted for you just the other day? Well, we’re here to take score now, folks. As you can see from the handy (and magical) chart below, Taiwan Economic News came pretty close to nailing the iPad’s specs back September: built-in HSDPA, custom P.A.

Semi system on a chip (with the fancy new name Apple A4), 9.6-inch size, February unveiling, and hey — they were pretty close on that $799 – $999 pricing too. And while iLounge was wrong about some things, they certainly hit this one out of the park: “It’s a big iPhone, but it’s not a big iPhone.” We’re going to let you dig into the chart here for yourselves to see who got what right — and who was terribly, terribly wrong.

Here are just a few of the no-shows today, however — no camera, no multitasking, no phone, no Verizon, no iPhone OS 4.0, and no Flash anywhere to be seen. There were also no MacBook Pro spec bumps in sight, and no iLife to be found. Well, let’s just try to be happy with what we did get, okay? The chart is after the break.
