Simply put, iPad is a multi-touch device that redefines web browsing, and viewing rich media on one’s computer. The screen is 9.7 inches, measured diagonally. So overall, it’s slightly smaller than a magazine. And at just 1.5 lbs and 0.5 inches thin, it uses a display technology called IPS (in-plane switching), it has a wide, 178° viewing angle The Multi-Touch screen on the iPad uses the same revolutionary technology that’s in an iPhone; and is well integrated with apps store (close ot 14,000 apps available) – more details at the official iPad page .

And why is India important for Apple? Look at the query volume for apple iPad from India.

How much of that can be converted to sales is left to Apple. What’s your opinion? Watch Steve Jobs showcasing the iPad.
