Apple Launches iPad with No Traces of iPhone OS 4.0 Apple has indeed launched its much-hyped tablet, the iPad. The device looks and acts like a bigger iPhone and although it was rumored to run iPhone OS 4.0 the device is only running a custom iPad-only version of iPhone OS 3.2.

What will the iPad offer you? A 9.7-inch LED backlit display, a proprietary A4 1GHz chip, from 16 to 64GB SSD, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 3G connectivity via micro SIM cards and lots of content. Features like Flash support and multitouch are still not there so iPhone users too will have to wait a while for Apple to enable them. Other rumored features of the iPad are currently missing: no OLED display and no front-facing and back cameras. But it's just the first iPad version so Apple has plenty of time to fix things.

Besides compatibility with iTunes and the App Store the iPad will have a new, dedicated store filled with eBooks from various publishers. The iBook Store is Apple's latest store which will probably compete with the Amazon eBook store. Will you get an iPad in March when it becomes available in stores?
