Apple iPad Announced! Pricing starts at $499!

All,

If you haven’t been following coverage on Apple’s media announcement today, they’re releasing the “iPad” starting at $499! It runs all the apps in the app store, plus does some fancy other stuff for e-reader functionality and your usual web/email/music/video stuff. Looks pretty neat. Engadget has a live feed going right now on their website.

Available with 16GB up to 64GB of storage.  On-screen virtual QWERTY keyboard, built-in Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and 3G coverage from AT&T (at $15 or $30 price tiers).   Looks awesome!

I’m sure there will be more to come regarding this one!
