This tablet version of iPod Touch has a 9.7 inch high resolution multi touch display, a 1GHz processor, and an incredible battery life of up to 10 hrs for browsing, movie and music playback needs.

Most of those who own the iPhone or iPod Touch can feel at home right away with the iPad’s interface and it’s built-in apps, such as Maps, Email, Contacts, Home Screen, Calendar, iPod Player app, YouTube app, iBooks, iWorks suite and so on. Also you can use your favorite iPhone apps on the iPad, with currently over 140,000 of the apps available in the app store being compatible with iPad.
