After the jump, check out official photos of the iPad and read the deets about this “magical” new Apple device …

Apple Inc. CEO Steve Jobs has unveiled the iPad, a tablet-style computer that resembles the iPhone, but larger. “It’s so much more intimate than a laptop and so much more capable than a smart phone,” Jobs said Wednesday at the device’s highly anticipated debut in San Francisco. Apple had kept its “latest creation” tightly under wraps, though many analysts had correctly speculated that it would be a one-piece tablet computer with a big touch screen, larger than an iPhone but smaller than a laptop. The iPad has a 9.7-inch touch screen. It is a half-inch thick, weighs 1.5 pounds and comes with 16, 32 or 64 gigabytes of flash memory storage. The device comes with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth wireless technology, but no mention was immediately made of a data connection through a wireless carrier. Jobs said the battery lasts for 10 hours, and that the device can sit for a month on standby without needing a charge. The CEO demonstrated how the iPad is used for surfing the Web with Apple’s Safari browser. He typed an e-mail using an on-screen keyboard and flipped through photo albums by flicking his finger across the screen. Jobs said the iPad will also be better for reading books, playing games and watching video than either a laptop or a smart phone. The iPad comes with software including a calendar, maps, a video player and iPod software for playing music. All seem to have been slightly redesigned to take advantage of the iPad’s bigger screen.

Pricing will start at $499 for the 16-gigabyte version, $599 for the 32-gig version and $699 for the 64-gig version. The Wifi only iPads will begin shipping in 60 days, the 3G version in 90 days. Apple has, once again, teamed up with AT&T for mobile connectivity with pricing starting at $14.99 for 250mb a month of usage, $29.99 a month unlimited usage WITHOUT a contract. The AT&T packages will be prepaid only … and the iPad will come unlocked, meaning you could put in any GSM SIM card for connectivity. All in all, it sounds like a cool toy … I don’t like that it doesn’t seem to run multiple apps and is basically just a larger iTouch/iPhone. I might have to take a pass on getting this toy when it comes out. Click HERE to be notified by Apple when the iPad becomes available. What do y’all think … is this new device must own?
