What is the iPad?

Apple's new tablet, called the iPad, was expected to be a big new product and was going to revolutionize the industry. The iPad is a "tablet computer" which means that it is a computer that is only a touch screen. It has a 10 inch touch screen, wifi, bluetooth, speakers, a microphone, and an iPod connector. It also can connect to the Internet through a data package with a cell phone carrier. It is not being sold yet but there are a few iPads that have been put on display for people to use temporarily. There have been a couple of tablets that have come out recently but this one has had the most publicity because it is from Apple.
