The iPad has officially been released by Apple, a hybrid between an eBook reader by rivals of Amazon’s Kindle, and a seemingly similar interface from the respects of Apple’s own iPhone and iPod Touch, and not surprisingly, they shocked speculators of the name of this coveted gadget. With bloggers and the media alike proposing this new tablet from Apple to be called from the iTablet, to the iSlate, they have decided to call it the iPad.

Ironically, a Madtv skit from years ago depict the ”iPad”, years before it has been released as a spoof of MaxiPads. The first versions of the iPad will be released in March, and the cheapest one, being $499 for the 16GB version, and $100 per upgrade in disk space. On the other hand the 3G version, which will run on a wireless carrier, sports a heftier price at $629 and $100

The Pitch: The Fujitsu LifeBook UH900 multitouch mini-notebook falls somewhere between a netbook and a smartphone: About the size of a checkbook (but thicker), the UH900 weighs in at just 1.1 pounds. Still, you get a multitouch-enabled, 5.6-inch screen, two-finger touch shortcuts (as with the iPhone), integrated GPS, webcam, and a solid state drive. Of course, you also get an Intel processor technology, plus Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. If you think netbooks are just tooooo big and cumbersome, this elfin mininote is for you.

Pro: Usually, the smallest PCs are also the weakest. This Fujitsu seems to be strong enough to stand its ground against netbook competitors.

Con: Mini has been done, miultitouch is all around. Nothing new to see here.

Recommendation: This product simply lacks the uniqueness take it any farther in the competition.
