Official Apple iPad Demo [VIDEO]

Even though the Apple iPad won’t be available for another 60 or 90 days (depending on the model), Apple already has its official iPad website up and running. In addition to showing off some of the applications, features and design and technical specifications, the website also features an eight-minute video with Apple’s design and development team discussing the device and showing it off. If you love Johnny Ive and well-produced promo videos, you’ll want to check it out! You can watch the video over at Apple.com here, but we’ve also gone ahead and embedded it below:

5 Apple Hits and 5 Misses: Which Will the Tablet Be?


Like many of you, we can’t wait for the official unveiling of the iSlate (or whatever name Apple chooses for its next product). Apple is an interesting company to watch because not only are their products innovative, but the best Apple products create entirely new markets. Sure, there were mobile applications for sale before the App Store, for example, but the App Store transformed how mobile apps are advertised, sold and distributed, just like iTunes transformed the way music was distributed.

Yet, it’s important to remember that Apple doesn’t hit it out of the park every time. Granted, most of Apple’s most memorable flops (The Newton, the Pippin, the 20th Anniversary Edition Macintosh) happened before Steve Jobs returned to the company in 1997, but even the Jobsian one has introduced a clunker or two. We decided to track down five of Apple’s biggest hits and five of Apple’s biggest misses of the last ten years. What will the Apple Tablet turn out to be?
