A Virtual keyboard gives the user the ability to use at any moment mobile Internet, Facebook, Twitter and other internet-hypes. He also demonstrated how a newspaper such as The New York Times can be read . The device is approximately 1 cm thick and has a 9.7 inches colours multitouchscreen. It weighs 700 grammes and has a processor of 1 gigahertz. The battery would go along 10 hours.

Apple has evolved the last ten years from a computer builder to a consumer friendly electronic products factory. With the iPad they also make their step into the market for advanced tablet devices. According to some analysts Apple could sell 3 to 4 million iPads this year.

It's been months now, that rumours concerning the iPad are running down the internet hallways. The name iSlate also regularly emerged as a name for the new device. The first rumors concerning their new creation started two years ago, shortly after the launching of the prodigiousl iPhone, but in fact Apple would already work on it four or five years in secret..
