That above is definitely not the new Ipad from Apple. The new Ipad actually looks like a huge ipod touch with slightly more capabilities. In my own opinion I believe this device sits between a netbook and a laptop.

In short, the main features are:
- Ebook reader
- Newspaper/Magazines
- Web browser
- Instant Messaging
- Calendar
- Word Processing (iWork suite)
- Movie/video player
- Music player + Itunes
- Games and apps which give it almost unlimited capabilities
A major improvement in this device worthy of mention would be multi-tasking and battery life. It manages to download heavy HD video, 3D gaming and downloading emails in the background swiftly. It also lasts for a quoted "10 hours and 43 minutes" which is a ridiculously good achievement compared to normal laptops which only last half as long.
The Verdict:
The bigger 10" screen is very useful for videos and navigation, however there are limits by the OS in becoming a serious laptop replacement. There is no Flash which creates a disjointed view in the browser even though it is blazing fast on most websites. It would appear to give a seamless basic user experience with good interactivity and internet surfing capabilities which will challenge more progress in the slate platform.
