Apple iPad Specs can be found from The Official Apple Site.  They are currently releasing a version with wifi connect only, with a 3G enabled device coming one month later.  Word has it that AT&T will be the provider for the Apple iPad 3G connect.  Surprise, surprise.

I haven’t had the chance to get my hands on one so far, but my only qualm so far is NO FLASH.  But that’s not such a horrible thing.  Today’s web is congested with flash sites that use heavy bandwidth, and aren’t visible in all browsers.  This is pushing developers to lay off the flash on new website design.  I wouldn’t be surprised if Flash worked its way out in the next five years, with a constant dwindle during its decline.

Enough of my rambling, I’ll update as I learn more about Apple’s new iPad, and am waiting for the first jailbreak!
