After months of rumors Apple announced their new Apple iPad PC – from what Ive seen it, even though it lacks ink functionality it seems to have everything else you could want in a 1.5 pound package. I look forward to getting my hands on one to review for all of you.

And we call it, the iPad.” It’s official.

9.7-inch IPS display, “It’s half an inch thin and weighs just 1.5 pounds

the iPad pricing starts, not at $999, but at $499.”

teve Jobs Live from the Launch event:“As you know, Apple builds the same multitouch sensors in the world.” And it has multitouch on this. It’s powered by a 1GHz Apple A4 chip, and has 16GB to 64GB of flash storage “And it screams.”

802.11n, Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR. 30-pin connector, speaker, microphone, accelerometer and compass.

“And it’s got battery. What is the battery life of this remarkable new device?” 10 hours of battery life.

“A few other things…I’d like to talk about iTunes.” It syncs like an iPhone with your Mac or PC over the 30-pin cable. You sync everything: photos, music, movies, TV shows, contacts, calendars, bookmarks and applications, like the iPhone. Even backups.

And now, wireless networking. It has Wi-Fi, but there are models with 3G.

What does it cost for the data plans? In the US, companies charge $60 for a data plan for laptops. But, “we’ve got a real breakthrough here. We’ve got two awesome plans for iPad owners.” The first is 250MB data a month for $15.

And if you want unlimited data for $30 a month.

all iPad 3G models are unlocked, and they use GSM micro SIMs, so if your carrier offers micro SIMs, “they’ll just work.”

HP Computers Usher in New Levels of Design Innovation on Season Seven of Lifetime Television’s Hit Series “Project Runway”

Fusing the worlds of fashion and technology, HP today announced with Intel a product integration with Lifetime Television’s hit show “Project Runway” that makes HP’s touch-enabled PCs and notebooks an integral part of the creative process throughout the show’s new season.

Contestants will, for the first time in the history of the series, have the option to use computers to sketch designs and inspire their work. “Project Runway” season seven will premiere Jan. 14 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on Lifetime.

“Technology is what’s next in fashion design. Forward-thinking designers are exploring new ways to use technology in the design process,” said Barbara Schneeweiss, vice president of Production and Development for TV and Feature Film at The Weinstein Company.

Technology on the show

The “Project Runway” designers will have the opportunity to unleash their creativity using HP TouchSmart PCs and HP TouchSmart tm2 notebooks, both powered with Intel processors. The screen of the tm2 can be rotated around and converted to slate mode, morphing it into a sketchpad with digital pen.

The winning designer of season seven will receive a $50,000 prize package from HP and Intel to create, design and run his or her own business.

“To me, butterflies symbolize love, freedom, independence and transformation,” said Vivienne Tam. “I love working with HP because they are also inspired by nature. Together we bring life, color and personality to the computer world, creating fashionable technology for modern women.”

The HP Vivienne Tam collaboration marries two cultures – fashion and technology – to reflect transformative spirit and chic lifestyle.

“With her spring collection, Vivienne channeled her creativity into a timeless design that will help HP deliver the next must-have item for fashion-forward women around the world,” said Satjiv S. Chahil, senior vice president, Worldwide Marketing, Personal Systems Group, HP.

“The new digital clutch design embodies the inspiration for my entire spring collection,” said Tam. “When women around the globe carry HP’s digital clutch and wear my clothes, I want them to feel independent and free, like butterflies.” ‘StyleCaster’ virtual experience
