Yes, there were tablet computers before the iPad, but this is the one that started the current craze. The basic model only offers Wi-Fi connections, but shoppers can also get a 3G model for an extra $130 – plus the cost of an AT&T 3G plan – so if you happen to be without Wi-Fi you can still get a fast connection.
Now that Verizon has its own iPhone, expect a Verizon iPad not too far behind.
The battery life runs up to about 10 hours. There have been reports that an iPad 2 is already in production – and that an smaller "iPad 3" is on the way.
