Essential info on Apple’s revolutionary tablet computer…

1. Dimensions
It has a 9.7-inch full multi-touch capacitive LED touchscreen, and weighs in at four and a half pounds; it’s lighter than a netbook and, at just 0.5-inches thin, is extraordinarily slim.

2. Operating System (OS) and key features
The Apple iPad sports a bespoke iPhone-like OS and will have 3G built in. There is also Wi-Fi 802.11n and Bluetooth 2.1. Other notable additions include a compass, accelerometer, speaker and microphone.

3. Battery life and storage
The Apple iPad should keep going for 10 hours without charge, and even more impressively, it can stay alive for one month in standby mode. On the storage front there are 16GB, 32GB and 64GB flash memory models.

4. Processor power
Powering the tablet beauty will be an Apple 1GHZ A4 chip. That puts the Apple iPad in line with the Google Nexus One and the Palm Pre, both of which boast the Snapdragon processor.

5. Video playback
Steve Jobs showed off the Apple iPad’s movie playback capabilities with movies being displayed in 16:9 widescreen despite the iPad’s 4:3 ratio screen. The screen is HD and looks super hi-res.

6. iBooks
The iPad, as expected, packs eReader support, specifically an app called iBooks. While you swipe a finger to turn the pages, the accompanying iBook store gives you the choice of books from Penguin, Harper Collins, Simon & Schuster, Macmillan and the Hachette book group. Speculation is that top titles could cost around $14.99. Look out Amazon Kindle…

7. Apps
The good news is that all iPhone apps will work on the Apple iPad. Smartphone apps taken straight from the Apple App Store will run scaled up via “pixel doubling” to fill the iPad screen. Apps will also be made exclusively for the Apple iPad in the App Store.

8. Software Development Kit (SDK)
Apple has announced the development kit for the Apple iPad, which means tech-minded users can design and create their own Apps. This means there will be some happy geeks and a lot more software choice for you.

9. Price
iPad pricing starts at $499, and monthly non-contract data plans are available across the US.

10. You can win a free iPad today!
Yes, you can win an iPad from the team here at US Music Jobs – we are giving one away within the next 24 hours! Full details and Terms and Conditions are here.

Good Luck!

The US Music Jobs Team.
