There's no denying that Apple's unveiling of the "magical Ipad" has caused a huge stir among the tech community, both good and bad. Most were unsure of what Apple had up it's sleeve and waited anxiously for the 27th to arrive. Now that it has come and gone, everyone is buzzing about the Ipad. The feelings are mixed about this revolutionary new device. Critics claim that this is Apple's first step backwards in quite some time. They say the device is lacking in several key areas:

Missing webcam. Can't deny that Ichat would be awesome.
No new OS. Giant Iphone.
Big bezel, although for obvious reasons. How else could you hold the thing without random inputs?
No multitasking, probably the biggest let-down.

It's tough to argue against some of those points. But is it a deal-breakers? Not by any means. The Ipad is still an amazing piece of equipment. Let's get to some of the more attractive aspects of the device:

Run's every Iphone application out of the gate in both full screen and awkwardly small Iphone size.
Beautiful 9.7-inch capacitive touchscreen IPS LCD display @ 1024x768.
Custom Apple A4 processor running at 1Ghz
10hrs of battery life (1 month in standby)
802.11n WiFi and optional 3G
Starting at just $499 for the base 16gb model!

Engadget has a nice little hands-on video they just put up. Check it out below..
