apple ipad on the go!

Last night we went to TESCO Lotus, one of the big department stores here in Hatyai City and we passed along arrays of netbooks. I asked my hubby if I could have one in the coming days for my blogging career. He told me if I want a netbook , apple ipad would be an excellent choice. I asked my husband where did he get that idea. I'm familiar with Apple notebooks or Apple iPod touchscreen but not the Apple iPad. He read in the net that the iPad is a tablet computer developed by Apple Inc. Announced on January 27, 2010, it is part of a category between a smartphone and a laptop computer. Similar in functionality to the smaller, less powerful iPhone or iPod touch, it runs a modified version of the same operating system (iPhone OS), with a user interface redesigned to take advantage of the larger screen. The iPad has a 9.7-inch (25 cm) LED backlit multi-touch display, 16 to 64 gigabytes (GB) of flash memory, Bluetooth, and a 30-pin dock connector to sync with iTunes and connect wired accessories. Two models have been announced: one with 802.11n Wi-Fi and one with 802.11n Wi-Fi and 3G (which can connect to HSDPA cellular networks), and Assisted GPS. Both models may be purchased with three different storage capacities. It starts with $499.

I can say that apple ipad would be an excellent choice both for educators like me and hubby and for students. I wonder when this iPad be available in Asia?
