Apple iPad announced, is iPod touch on steroids

Just as expected, today Apple announced their iPad tablet. It's not everyday that you see news about something other than mobile phones at our homepage but considering the hype that one this generated we just couldn't help ourselves.

The tablet is actually running a UI very similar to the iPhone's and is compatible with all its apps. However it can only use its 3G connectivity for data transfers so it doesn't qualify as a phone.
