The tablet device has been much hyped, especially over the past few months, and boasts of some truly notable features; but what is most questionable about it is – which category of users is the device actually aimed at?

Featuring a 9.7-inch touchscreen, the iPad is equipped with a scaled-up version of the iPhone operating system; and it enables the users to surf the web via the Safari browser; play music using iTunes; view e-mail; and get around using Google Maps.

In addition, the iPad tablet also features an iBook application that facilitates the reading of electronic books; a photo-viewing tool; a notebook utility for meetings; and Apple’s address book application to keep a track of the contacts.

Despite the noteworthy features, the success or otherwise of the iPad depends largely on two main factors – firstly, whether the device can attract book lovers from the Amazon Kindle e-reader, which is far more economically-priced at $259 as compared to the iPad’s base model cost of $459; and secondly, whether it will entice full-fledged computer users to go in for the switchover!

Decked in nine colours with two of them exclusive only to the Apple Online store, you’ll get either 8GB or 16GB of storage on the iPod nano now which was hitherto available only in Shuffle or Classic modes of the iPod. Its the slimmest Nano ever, and the most hyped about feature of this beauty is its built in video camera.

You can use the video recording feature in which ever orientation you want as the nano automatically switches to the orientation you are using. The new 2.2 inch screen is a perfect viewfinder as well.

Taiwan based site InfoTimes reports in Chinese that the device will have a 9.7 inch touchscreen, making it just a little smaller than most notebooks with additional touchscreen features and iPod look-and-feel.
