Across the Country, Fans Gather for iPad

The New York Times : By BRAD STONE, April 3, 2010

The iPad released on last Saturday. Apple's most devoted fans assembled on saturday morning at Apple stores around the country. The people wanted to pick up their brand new iPad. The iPad is a tablet computer developed by Apple. It is positioned in a category between a smartphone and a laptop computer. The iPad has a 9.7-inch LED backlit multi-touch display, 16 to 64 GB of flash memory, bluetooth, and a 30-pin dock connector to sync with iTunes and connect wired accessories.

Many of people waiting for the iPad had a imprecise sense that they were involved in yet another big Apple moment, although they could not clearly say how they would use the tablet computer, which shares features of both laptops and mobile phones. 

The iPad has been well reviewed, although there are unknown feathures; the ability to run more than one application at a time or lack of support for Adobe's Flash, which means video on many Web sites will not play.
