Today the iPad was launched in the United States, meaning the eagerly awaited Apple tablet is now in the hands of the public. Based on the relative success of previous gadgets released by Steve Job's company, that means that either an industry is set to be revolutionised (iPod anyone?) or underwhelmed (Apple TV).
Currently in the US just the wi-fi only version is available, priced at between $499 for the 16GB model and $699 for the 64GB device. 3G models are set to arrive in late April, meaning many more patient consumers may well be waiting before they purchase.
Of course, games optimised for – or exclusively for – the iPad will now be rolling out the App Store, but numbers and sales are yet to be confirmed, and will likely remain shrouded in mystery for quite some time.
