iPad is a half inch thick, weighs in at a whopping one-and-a-half pounds and as you can see, looks like a large iPhone with a nine-and-a-half inch wide multi-touch screen.

It used Apple's 1 GZ A4 processor and comes with flash memory totals of 16, 32, or 64Gb with WiFi (including 802.11n)and Bluetooth capabilities with some models boasting 3G, while others won't. 3G will run you $15 a month for up to 250Mb of data usage, with unlimited data plans running $30 a month.

Sans 3G, the different models will run as follows:

  • 16Gb- $500
  • 32Gb -$600
  • 64Gb- $700

3G capability bumps the price of each model up $130 extra.

iPad is expected to be released in 60 days, with iPad 3g hitting in 90 days - neither are region locked, and will work worldwide.

Thanks, GamePro.
