Today at san Francisco Apple will release to the market their newly unveiled prized possession: tablet-style iPad. Their newest pride will start selling $499.

The seems like a larger version of an iPhone, about six times an iPhone‘s size. Apple will be selling a few iPad models equipped and hooked up with data plans from no other than AT&T. And with no bondage or contract required.

Apple Inc. challenge now is to convince the market and its consumers, most of their target market already have Internet-connected phones, computers and TVs, that they will find worth and will be willing to pay the amount for a device such as an iPad, when there are a lot of handy, lightweight notebooks and “netbooks” that costs lesser.

There rebuttal is that iPad is better for reading books, playing games, and enjoying movies, as mentioned by CEO Steve Jobs. The iPad offers better visual display than either a laptop or a smart phone.

The initial price is expected to drop. The first iPhone sold by Apple was for $599 but it went all the way down to $399 in just a few months, which were of course not good to hear for early buyers.
